Mumbai Indians Women beat UP Warriorz Women by 6 wickets in the 16th fixture of the WPL 2025 season. In the first inning, Amelia Kerr rocked UP with a sensational five-wicket-haul. 

Chasing 151 runs, Hayley Matthews slammed a match-winning 68 off 46 balls to power Mumbai Indians to a comfortable victory over UP Warriorz.

Here’s how UPW vs MI panned out in Lucknow:

Georgia Voll and Grace Harris provide ace start UP Warriorz

UP Warriorz Women batted first and Georgia Voll-Grace Harris brought up a 74-run partnership for the opening wicket. Voll scored a sublime 55 off 33 balls with as many as 12 boundaries. Their explosive start had set the stage for a fine finish for UP Warriorz but their middle-order didn’t play their part.

Amelia Kerr dazzles with a fifer

UP Warriorz Women were poised to finish on a high until Amelia Kerr pressed brakes. She claimed the entire middle order of UP to pick as many as five wickets. Her first victim was Kiran Navgire before she dismissed dangerous batter Deepti Sharma on 27 off 25 balls. 

Kerr got rid of Vrinda Dinesh and Chinelle Henry in a single over to reduce UP Women to 120/5. UP Warriorz couldn’t recover from Amelia Kerr’s sensational five-wicket-haul and finished with a below-par total of 150 runs at the end of the first 20 overs.

Hayley Matthews’ charges for Mumbai in the chase

Mumbai Indians Women began the chase on a cracking note with Hayley Matthews leading the charge. Despite losing Amelia Kerr on 10 off 13 balls, Matthews stitched a 100-run partnership with Nat Sciver-Brunt. 

The duo blasted some powerful shots to ensure the required run rate stayed under control. Opener Matthews struck a half-century and placed Mumbai in a comfortable winning position.

Mumbai Indians cruise through comfortable victory

While Hayley Matthews got dismissed on 68 off 46 balls, Mumbai Indians needed only 20 odd runs to win when she walked back to the dressing room. 

Though Grace Harris picked two crucial wickets for Nat Sciver-Brunt and Harmanpreet Kaur, those breakthroughs weren’t enough to restrict Mumbai. Yastika Bhatia hit the winning runs to wrap up the chase in 18.3 overs and power Mumbai Indians Women to a dominating 6-wicket win.
