UP Warriorz took down MI in the last match

After two consecutive losses, UP Warriorz finally tasted success as they beat the defending champions Mumbai Indians by 7 wickets in a one-sided affair. Kiran Navgire who batted at the sixth against Delhi Capitals opened in the last match after Vrinda Dinesh got injured while fielding in the first innings changing the complexion of the game in UP’s favour. 

Navgire smashed 57 runs in 31 balls which enabled UP to chase down the 162 runs set by Mumbai in just 16.3 overs. Her innings included 6 boundaries and 4 towering sixes. Navgire with Alyssa Healy (33) gave UP a dream start and incorporated a 94-run stand in just 9 overs which sealed the match in favour of UP and the 4th innings stand between Harris and Deepti Sharma took UP home in style.
