UP Warriorz: Grace Harris struck an unbeaten half-century after Sophie Ecclestone claimed 3-20 in a superb bowling display to restrict Gujarat Giants as UP Warriorz romped to a six-wicket win with 26 balls remaining in Match 8 of the Women's Premier League at the M. Chinnaswamy stadium here on Friday.

UP Warriorz came up with a fine bowling display to restrict Gujarat Giants to 142/5 in their 20 overs and then raced to 143/4 in 15.4 overs thanks to Grace Harris's unbeaten 60 off 33 balls, studded with nine boundaries and two maximums. Grace Harris got the Orange Cap for the leading run-getter of the event as she guided UP Warriorz to their second successive victory in four matches.

Sri Lankan all-rounder Chamari Athapaththu made a fine WPL debut, giving away just 19 runs in her four overs and spearheaded the brilliant bowling attack by UP Warriorz as they restricted Gujarat Giants to 142/5 in their 20 0vers.
