MI vs UPW, WPL Highlights: Harleen Deol guides UP Warriorz to first victory of the season

MI vs UPW, WPL Highlights: Harleen Deol struck an unbeaten 39-ball 64 as UP Warriorz beat Mumbai Indians by seven wickets to register their first win in the Women's Premier League here on Thursday.
Batting first, Nat Sciver-Brunt lifted Mumbai Indians to 161 for five after a poor start with a brutal 43-ball 65, while Nicola Carey blazed away to an unbeaten 20-ball 32, as the team amassed 107 runs in the last 10 overs.

However, UPW overcame the total with Harleen playing the lead role and Phoebe Litchfield (25 off 22 balls) and skipper Meg Lanning (25 off 26) making useful contributions with the bat.

Chloe Tryon made a brisk 27 not out in 11 balls.

Harleen Deol bounced back from the disappointment of being retired out with a match-winning half century 24 hours later as UP Warriorz downed defending champions Mumbai Indians by seven wickets for their first victory of WPL 2026 here on Thursday.
Nat-Sciver Brunt (65 off 43 balls) batted with the brute force she is known for to lift Mumbai Indians to 161 for five after a rather ordinary first half of the innings.

Harleen (64 not out off 39), who was retired out on Wednesday despite batting well, proved a point by anchoring UPW's run chase to perfection.

It was the first success of the season for UPW in four games while Mumbai Indians suffered their second loss in four matches.
