Although Mumbai Indians started their second innings positively, with the required run rate in their favour, Grace Harris and Tahlia Mcgrath’s crucial knocks put UP-W back in the game.
With only five runs needed off the last six balls, Ecclestone missed the first two deliveries as Wong, Mumbai’s bowler, was right on the money. The tension was palpable in both camps as the match approached its climax.
However, Ecclestone held her nerve and finished off the game in style by hitting a crucial six. This exceptional victory for UP-W not only showcased their strong team spirit and resilience but also marked the end of MI’s winning streak of five matches.
