The incident took place in the final over of Mumbai\u2019s innings when a spectator breached security and ran on the field, resulting in a short break in the proceedings. Alyssa, who was wicket-keeping at that time, tried to grab the pitch invader and just slowed him down as the security caught up with him and went off the field.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Previously, former men\u2019s cricketer Andrew Symonds and Australia women\u2019s football player Sam Kerr had to deal with invaders during play. Following the incident, Alyssa made 33 runs off 29 balls while sharing a 94-run opening partnership with Kiran Navgire to help steer the UP Warriorz towards their first victory of the ongoing tournament by chasing down 162 in 16.3 overs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cWe get cake, that is what we do in India and that is what Sophie Ecclestone is most excited about. I\u2019m just proud of the girls. They\u2019ve never at any point dropped their heads, dropped their shoulders after our start to the campaign.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cThey just come back every day and work even harder. Over the moon to get ourselves on the board and beat a quality side like Mumbai. It\u2019s nice to be able to get a win, but we\u2019ve got a lot of work to do,\u201d said Alyssa after the match ended.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The UP Warriorz, currently fourth on the WPL 2024 standings, will next face the bottom-placed Gujarat Giants, captained by Alyssa\u2019s national team opening partner Beth Mooney, at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium on Friday night.<\/p>\r\n\r\n", "image": "https:\/\/img.cricketnmore.com\/uploads\/2024\/02\/wpl-2024-alyssa-healy-tackles-pitch-invader-during-up-warriorz-mumbai-indians-game.JPG", "alt_img": "WPL 2024: Alyssa Healy tackles pitch invader during UP Warriorz-Mumbai Indians game", "alt_title": "Bengaluru: Mumbai Indians and UP Warriorz WPL match", "image1": null, "video": null, "seo_title": "WPL 2024: Alyssa Healy Tackles Pitch Invader During UP Warriorz-Mumbai Indians Game On Cricketnmore", "seo_desc": "WPL 2024: Alyssa Healy Tackles Pitch Invader During UP Warriorz-Mumbai Indians Game, The UP Warriorz: UP Warriorz captain Alyssa Healy had to tackle a pitch invader during her team\u2019s seven-wicket victory over.", "seo_keywords": "Alyssa Healy, UP Warriorz, Mumbai Indians, Premier League, Chinnaswamy Stadium, Andrew Symonds, Sam Kerr, Kiran Navgire, Sophie Ecclestone, The UP Warriorz, Gujarat Giants, Beth Mooney", "tag": "", "tagging": "Alyssa Healy, UP Warriorz, Mumbai Indians, Premier League, Chinnaswamy Stadium, Andrew Symonds, Sam Kerr, Kiran Navgire, Sophie Ecclestone, The UP Warriorz, Gujarat Giants, Beth Mooney", "status": "1", "img_rpt": "0", "google": "1", "standout": "0", "edapps": "0", "pulse": "0", "no_index": "0", "feed": "0", "fixture": null, "slug": "wpl-2024-alyssa-healy-tackles-pitch-invader-during-up-warriorz-mumbai-indians-game", "user_id": "0", "read_count": "0", "ians_date": null, "ians_time": null, "server_time": null, "trash": "0", "view_count": "1190", "page_break": "0", "instant_articles": "1", "auto_link": "1", "created": "2024-02-29 11:30:05", "updated": "2024-02-29 11:30:05", "img_from": "Image Source: IANS", "img_source": null, "schedule_publish": null, "news_keywords": "Alyssa Healy, UP Warriorz, Mumbai Indians, Premier League, Chinnaswamy Stadium, Andrew Symonds, Sam Kerr, Kiran Navgire, Sophie Ecclestone, The UP Warriorz, Gujarat Giants, Beth Mooney", "livescore_text": null, "livescore_link": null, "btn_text": null, "resend_feed": "1", "google_feed": "1", "read_more": "0", "posted_by": "23", "jio_date": "2024-02-29 11:30:05", "scheduled": "0", "news_now": "1", "breaking_news": "1", "google_date": null, "featured": "0", "pred_match_id": null, "article_content_type": null, "link": "https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/cricket-news\/wpl-2024-alyssa-healy-tackles-pitch-invader-during-up-warriorz-mumbai-indians-game-139321" }
