Despite the absence of Harmanpreet and Ismail for Mumbai Indians, one might consider this a surprising outcome. UP Warriorz performed admirably to successfully chase down 161. The foundation for this victory was laid by Kiran Navgire. Vrinda Dinesh, after injuring her shoulder, provided Navgire an opportunity to open the batting, which she capitalized on heavily. Navgire struck the ball cleanly getting to her fifty in just 25 balls. However, UPW stumbled from 94/0 to 98/3, making the game look competitive once again. However, Deepti Sharma and Grace Harris teamed up, playing sensibly and capitalizing on loose deliveries to secure a commendable victory. Their unbeaten 65-run partnership was brought up swiftly, providing UPW, who were under pressure before the match, with their first points in the tournament.
Notably, this is UPW's first win in the WPL 2024 and they handed MI their first defeat of the tournament.
