Mumbai Indians cruise to win over UP Warriorz in WPL
- Published
Leg-spinner Amelia Kerr took 5-38 as Mumbai Indians claimed a comfortable six-wicket win over UP Warriorz in the Women's Premier League.
The New Zealand all-rounder tore through top and middle order as the Warriorz were restricted to 150-9.
Opener Georgia Voll top-scored with 55 from 33 balls but once the Australian was dismissed in the 11th over, the Warriorz limped through the remainder of their overs.
Mumbai were in control throughout the chase with West Indies' Hayley Matthews making 68 from 46 balls at the top of the order.
She put on 92 for the second wicket with England all-rounder Nat Sciver-Brunt, who hit 37 from 23 to go with her 1-16 with the ball.
Matthews' fell with 24 runs needed before Mumbai got over the line with nine balls to spare.
Victory lifts them up to second in the WPL table and victory in either of their last two group games will seal their place in the knockout stages.
Meanwhile, Warriorz stay fifth after a third straight loss and need to win their final group match to have any chance of progressing.
