The 18 overs bowled by spin today was the most in an innings in the WPL. The top six wicket-takers in the WPL are all spinners too.
5:05pm An exceptional bowling display by the Warriorz, keeping down a strong batting unit to just 127. Their spinners controlled the run-flow throughout the innings and kept picking up wickets at regular intervals. MI, courtesy of Wong, though, have put up a total on the board that might not be very easy to chase down. The ball is holding up, spinning and there is a bit of tennis-ball bounce. MI have an excellent spin-bowling attack themselves, meaning that this game, at the half-way stage, is far from over. Do join us in a bit for the run-chase!
Sophie Ecclestone: (On her performance) Really happy with the performance. The spinners put in a great performance. (On the pitch) It is a really tricky pitch to play on. I think our spinners did a good job. (Message to the batters) Just play smart cricket. It was turning a lot towards the end of the innings.
S Ishaque run out 0 (3m 2b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00
Saika Ishaque is the last batter in
IECM Wong run out 32 (36m 19b 4x4 1x6) SR: 168.42
Around the wicket now
Can MI get to 125? That won't be easy against Deepti, though

Single or a boundary, what does Wong look for?
Interesting decision to take the single off the final ball of the previous over. If MI are to get close to 130, you feel Wong will have to face as many balls as possible. Ecclestone to bowl the penultimate over

Six runs off the over already
Sid: "Wong should keep the strike as can as possible, to atleast reach 120.." -- If she bats till the end, 130 might be a possibility too. And that would be a competitive score on this surface
Dhara Gujjar is the new batter in
