Reigning champions Mumbai Indians earned their third victory of the WPL 2024 season, defeating Royal Challengers Bangalore by three wickets on Saturday. Chasing 131, MI were in no mood to restrain and completed the chase with five overs to spare. arlier on Wednesday, Mumbai`s batting suffered in the absence of skipper and in-form batter Harmanpreet Kaur, who had been nursing a niggle, during their WPL 2024 encounter against UP Warriorz, as a laboured 55 off 47 balls from Hayley Matthews guided them to 161 for six. It was a competitive total but the Mumbai bowlers would not have suspected a carnage like the one Navigre and Healy unloaded on them.
Kiran Navigre (57, 31b, 6x4, 4x6) and skipper Alyssa Healy (33, 29 balls) added 94 runs for the opening wicket stand in just 9.1 overs as the Warriorz eased past the 162-run target in 16.4 overs to hand the defending champions their first defeat of the season.
