Hayley Matthews hits Grace Harris for two sixes in a row, followed by a four off Anjali Sarvani. Matthews is batting on 22. Brilliant stroke play! Bhatia can’t match her skills on the other side of the crease. Oh no, that’s a wicket. She departs for 7 runs off 15 balls. Nat Sciver Brunt walks in on the crease. There, a lethal blunder by Rajeshwari Gayakwad as she drops Brunt off her own bowling.
4:05 PM: 45/2 after 9 overs

4:30 PM: 92/5 after 15 overs
UP seems to have done their homework perfectly well. Mumbai are falling like a pack of cards here. After Gayakwad dismissed Kerr, the flamboyant Deepti Sharma got the all-important wicket of skipper Kaur, who managed only 25 off 22.
4:48 PM: 103/7 after 17 overs
Issy Wong could save face today. Batting on 16 off 9 balls, she could be instrumental in the last three overs. The pitch has been unkind to the batters. Another one bites the dust! Gayakwad gets another, Humairaa Kaazi departs.

6:34 PM: 97/4 after 15 overs
