Mumbai Indians (MI-W) defeated UP Warriorz (UP-W) by 72 runs in the Women’s Premier League (WPL) Eliminator on Friday, March 24. By virtue of the win, Harmanpreet and Co. booked their spot in the final against Delhi Capitals (DEL-W). The final will be played between at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai on Sunday, March 26.
“She has gone under the radar. She has not got too many opportunities before this. She has played for India as well but didn’t get enough chances to prove herself. But the sort of cricket she is playing in the WPL enhances her stature as a batter,” Raut said.
“There is no risk factor seen in her game. She prefers playing orthodox cricket and is scoring runs doing that only. It will be worth seeing how she fares in the final because quality is known when you play big games.”
“She played a good knock today as well. She couldn’t make a very big score but she showed her intent in the shots she played. If she shows the same intent in a big game, she might be able to score runs,” she added.
