Time for some interviews...
UP, on the other hand, would feel that they did not capitalise on their chances in this game. They were all set to get a big total after Healy and Tahlia McGrath's partnership but lost their way at the backend and ended up at least 20-30 runs short. With the ball too, they dropped a couple of chances and some half-chances did not go their way as the famed spin attack of UP failed to put pressure on the Mumbai batters.
Mumbai have been dominating this season so far. In this game, they were pushed hard but they came back with flying colours both with the bat and ball. They made a tremendous comeback with the ball and restricted UP to 159 when they were looking all set to get at least 180 on the board. Saika Ishaque was brilliant with the ball again and picked three important wickets. With the bat then, Yastika Bhatia set the tone with a well-compiled 42 but they lost both the openers in quick succession and were in a spot of bother near the 8th over mark. However, the experienced duo of Natalie Sciver-Brunt and Harmanpreet Kaur stitched together a brilliant unbeaten stand of 106 runs that eventually took Mumbai home with 15 balls to spare.
Mumbai have notched up another impressive win! They make it four in four and are looking like an extremely professional and motivated unit. UP tried hard and had their moments in the game but Mumbai were too good in crunch situations and won this game quite comfortably in the end.
