In a dramatic turn of events during a WPL 2024 match, UP Warriorz captain Alyssa Healy displayed remarkable courage and presence of mind as she aggressively tackled a pitch invader who disrupted the game versus Mumbai Indians Women.

UP Warriorz Women, desperate for a win, clashed with defending champions Mumbai Indians Women in Bengaluru last night. Owing to Kiran Navgire's heroic knock, the Warriorz registered a domination victory.

However, in an interesting turn of events, UP captain Alyssa Healy was caught in an awkward moment during the first innings.

Healy was keeping wickets for her side when she saw a fan invading the playing area and running towards the pitch. Healy got pissed with the delay and took the matter into her own hands.

Before security could step in, Healy moved from her spot and tackled the invader with her fierce grit and core physical strength. She managed to stop the invader from advancing further and handed him over to the security in an absolutely heroic moment.

The crowd loved Alyssa Healy's fierce approach and applauded her presence of mind with loud cheers.

In the aftermath of the incident, there was widespread appreciation for Healy's swift action and bravery, with many lauding her for her quick reflexes and decisive handling of the situation.

As the match resumed following the brief interruption, UP Warriorz tightened its leash onto MI-W. They managed to restrict the Harmanpreet Kaur less side to 161 runs, and Kiran Navgire marched on in the chase.

She opened for the first time this season and exceeded all expectations to rake WPL. Her 25 ball half century sent the cricketing world into a frenzy, and many were elated with the emergence of a young and explosive talent. 

With the win, UP Warriorz Women finally have two points on the table as they navigate their way through the new WPL season.
