The UP Warriorz enjoyed a memorable evening at Bengaluru’s M Chinnaswamy Stadium as they easily defeated the Delhi Capitals. Leading roles were played by Chinelle Henry, Grace Harris, and Kranti Goud, who helped the UP Warriorz win the game. Deepti Sharma led the UP Warriorz to a 33-run victory over the Delhi Capitals, while Chinelle Henry was named Player of the Match.
Young bowler Kranti Goud and Australian all-rounder Grace Harris each took four wickets, while Chinelle Henry, who got the WPL’s second-fastest half-century, reached her fifty off 18 deliveries. In the game’s last over, Grace Harris sealed the victory with a hat-trick. Deepti Sharma’s hat-trick against the Delhi Capitals in Season 2 was the second for the UP Warriorz and the third in WPL history.
After the game, Grace Harris talked about her hat-trick, saying, “The UP Warriorz are having a great time and are really enjoying the WPL.” With this victory over the Delhi Capitals, maybe, things will turn around for us. It’s interesting to note that prior to the game, I made a joke about taking a hat-trick during the bowlers’ meeting.
In addition to Grace Harris’ heroics in the final over, Jamaican Chinelle Henry,
Who was brought into the team to replace the injured Alyssa Healy, gave the UP Warriorz a huge lift in momentum. Additionally, the all-round player has been among the UP Warriorz’s top players since joining the WPL.
“We were able to gain some momentum and secure a victory thanks to Chinelle’s great batting performance, which was also incredibly clean to watch. On a pitch that wasn’t the simplest, she made batting appear quite simple, and it’s amazing to watch her perform so well. She possesses a clean swing and is an excellent striker of the ball. In our group, she is amazing,” Grace Harris remarked.
Additionally, Grace Harris praised Kranti Goud, a promising pacer. “Kranti is an amazing bowler, a very strong and determined character, and he has impressed us all,” she remarked. Dismissing players like Shafali Verma, Meg Lanning, Jemimah Rodrigues, and Jess Jonassen is difficult, yet she was crucial to our victory. In the WPL, I’m bringing her more wickets.
The Royal Challengers Bengaluru, captained by Smriti Mandhana, are the reigning champions and will play the UP Warriorz next Monday. In anticipation of it, Grace Harris stated, “We need to arrive on matchday feeling rejuvenated and at ease, and we need to know exactly what we need to do against our opposition.” In this UP Warriorz camp, the atmosphere is always cheerful and upbeat, and our group is doing fairly well. We are excited for our home match against RCB; it will be noisy and it would be fantastic if we could defeat such a good team. If your strategies are carried out correctly, you can win games.
