BENGALURU – Hayley Matthews got the better of her West Indies teammate Chinelle Henry as the Mumbai Indians Women strolled to a comfortable eight wicket victory over the UP Warriorz Women when the Women’s Premier League continued in India on Wednesday.
After winning the toss and opting to field at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium, the Mumbai Indians did well to restrict their opponents to 142 for nine from their 20 overs.
Grace Harris topscored with 45 from 26 balls and Dinesh Vrinda hit 33 from 30 balls. Henry, who came in at number eight, made just seven.
Nat Sciver-Brunt took 3-18 from her four overs, while Sanskriti Gupta and Shabnim Islmail took two wickets apiece.
Opener Matthews then scored 59 from 50 balls, inclusive of seven fours and two sixes, while Sciver-Brunt hit an unbeaten 75 from 44 balls to propel the Mumbai Indians to 143 for two off 17 overs.
The two added 133 runs for the second wicket after opener Yastika Bhatia fell for a duck, to completely turn the tide in their favour.
Henry went wicketless in her four overs while conceding 24 runs.
With the win, the Mumbai Indians jumped to the top of the table on six points from four matches, while the loss dropped the Warriorz to fourth place on four points.
