When T20 cricket burst onto the world stage, fans got a front-row seat to nonstop thrills, and franchise leagues turned the excitement up to a whole new level. In India, IPL has already captured hearts, but the cricket fans welcomed the Women’s Premier League with open arms.

After the tournament went on the big stage, cricket fans witnessed women of the game dazzling on the big stage. Among all the record-breaking performances, Amelia Kerr’s outstanding fifer against the UP Warriorz is still an iconic spell.

Ahead of WPL 2026, the Mumbai Indians shocked fans by releasing their star player. Let’s relive the night when Kerr unleashed her magic.

A storm called Kerr sweeps UP Warriorz off their feet

The shortest format of the game comes with unreal thrills as every delivery stops the heartbeat, and excitement touches the sky with every minute. Since the Women’s Premier League landed in India, fans have witnessed nail-biting battles with global stars lighting up the stage. And none shone brighter than Amelia Kerr’s five-wicket haul that stunned the world as the fans were in awe of her heroics.

As the Mumbai Indians Women opted to bowl first, the UP Warriorz batters dominated initially as Harmanpreet Kaur and Co. needed to wait long. Coming to the action, Amelia Kerr secured her first scalp, dismissing Kiran Navgire on a duck. Deepti Sharma and Dinesh Vrinda tried to rebuild, but Kerr was unstoppable.

Mounting pressure on the opponent, she removed Dinesh Vrinda and Chinelle Henry in the same over. Even in that slump, captain Deepti Sharma was still standing tall, but Kerr’s brilliance halted her dream to play a long innings.

When the MI skipper trusted her with the last over, she kept the captain’s faith. Sending the skipper back in 27 runs, she removed Sophie Ecclestone in the very last ball of the innings and ended the Warriorz’s innings. With the last scalp, she recorded a dominating fifer while conceding just 38 runs.

With her sheer dominance, she not only shattered Warriorz' batting order, but her outstanding fifer also became the biggest highlight of the season. Every time a batter looked dangerous, the fearless all-rounder rose to the challenge, delivering the defining moments her team craved. Even after the Mumbai Indians Women released her ahead of the upcoming season, her heroics will be forever iconic in the team’s record book.
