WPL: ‘Finding It Easier To Score Quicker,’ Says Litchfield After Lighting 78 In UPW’s Opening Game
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: UP Warriorz delivered a strong batting performance, highlighted by Phoebe Litchfield's spectacular innings. She scored 78 runs off 40 balls, hitting eight fours and five sixes, maintaining her team's chances during the chase. Despite falling short of the target by 10 runs, Litchfield’s contribution was a key highlight of the opening match.
Shweta Sehrawat provided solid support with a quick 25 off 17 balls, complemented by Asha Sobhana's energetic late cameo. As the target score kept rising, the Warriorz had to take risks, leading to wickets falling. Despite these challenges, the strong batting performance by the opener offers the team a positive foundation to improve on for future matches.
Reflecting on the team’s approach with the bat, Litchfield said, "Our batting order has so much versatility and firepower, both at the top and down the order. The message is to back yourself, play your shots and not leave any runs out there. Shweta is a real aggressor from ball one, and that allows Meg (Lanning) and me to bat around her, along with players like Deandra Dottin."
