Mumbai have notched up another impressive win! They make it four in four and are looking like an extremely professional and motivated unit. UP tried hard and had their moments in the game but Mumbai were too good in crunch situations and have won this game quite comfortably in the end. They defeated UP Warriorz by 8-wickets in just 17.3 overs.
Alyssa Healy scored 58 runs and Tahlia McGrath hit 50 as UP Warriorz posted 159 for 6 against Mumbai Indians on Sunday. While the two shone with their respective knocks, the other UPW batters failed to immitate the effort.

Saika removed Devika Vaidya in her first over but was hit for four boundaries in the next over by UP Warriorz captain Alyssa Healy, who scored 58 off 46 balls. Saika then made a brilliant comeback and packed Healy and Tahila McGrath (50 off 37 balls) in the same over towards the end of UP innings, shifting the momentum back into Mumbai’s favour.
