1:06 PM IST Presentation Time...

1:06 PM IST UP Warriorz will be very pleased with their bowling effort. Kranti Gaud set the tone early with her first wicket of the season, and Sophie Ecclestone followed it up soon after. They tightened their grip through the middle overs, with Chloe Tryon and Deepti Sharma keeping things under control. There was a brief moment of concern when Amanjot and Kerr launched a counter-attack, but Shikha Pandey struck at just the right time to all but seal the game.

1:01 PM IST Earlier in the game, UP Warriorz put up an imposing total, built around a commanding 119-run partnership between the Australian pair of Phoebe Litchfield and Meg Lanning, with both bringing up well-earned half-centuries. However, they just could not quite finish with the late surge they would have wanted and might feel they left a few runs out there. Mumbai Indians found it tough for large parts of the innings, but Nat Sciver-Brunt and Amelia Kerr sparked a late fightback, combining brilliantly in the final overs to pick up five wickets while conceding just 10 runs, keeping their side firmly in the contest.
