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’s seven-wicket victory over the Mumbai Indians in the 2024 Women’s Premier League (WPL) at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium on Wednesday night.

The incident took place in the final over of Mumbai’s 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.

Previously, former men’s cricketer Andrew Symonds and Australia women’s 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.
