WPL 2025: All-round Matthews Propels Mumbai Indians To Six-wicket Win Over UP Warriorz
Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari: Mumbai Indians secured a dominant six-wicket victory over UP Warriorz in the 16th match of the Women's Premier League (WPL) 2025, courtesy of stellar performances from Amelia Kerr and Hayley Matthews. Kerr's brilliant five-wicket haul (5-38) and Matthews' all-round brilliance (2-25 & 68 off 46 balls) ensured Mumbai chased down the target of 151 with ease at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium.
Opting to bat first, the UP Warriorz got off to their best start of the season, with Georgia Voll (55 off 33) leading the charge. The openers put up a 74-run stand, but the Mumbai bowlers bounced back swiftly. Kerr’s variations proved too much for UPW’s middle order as she triggered a collapse, dismissing key batters and ensuring the hosts couldn’t capitalise on their start. Matthews, too, played a pivotal role with the ball, providing crucial breakthroughs and maintaining pressure in the middle overs.
Despite the early momentum, UPW stuttered in the latter half, managing just 150/9 at the end of 20 overs, with Voll’s half-century being the only notable contribution in a crumbling lineup.
