    WPL 2025: Sciver-Brunt’s Unbeaten 75 Takes MI To Top Of Table With 8-wkt Win Over UPW

    Nat Sciver: Nat Sciver-Brunt stood up again to hit a solid 75 not out as Mumbai Indians jumped to the top of the standings in the Women's Premier League (WPL) 2025 with a comfortable eight-wicket win over UP Warriorz at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium on Wednesday. After Nat picked 3-18, her best WPL bowling figures, to help MI restrict UPW to a below-par 142/9, the all-rounder rose to the occasion by hitting an unbeaten 75 off 44 balls, laced with 13 fours, to close the chase with three balls to spare.

    She found good support from Hayley Matthews, who chipped in with 59 off 50 balls, as the duo shared a match-winning 133-run partnership for the second wicket. MI were slow off the blocks in the run-chase, but Nat’s entry and her partnership with Hayley got them their third straight win of this competition.

    Chasing 143, MI had early luck as Hayley was dropped by Sophie Ecclestone at first slip off Chinelle Henry’s bowling. But MI lost Yastika Bhatia in the fourth over, as she picked out deep mid-wicket off Deepti Sharma and went back for an eight-ball duck. Hayley struggled to connect anything against Chinelle before breaking the shackles by pulling her over square-leg for six. Nat got going by heaving, driving, and whipping Saima Thakor for a hat-trick of boundaries as MI ended the power-play at 33/1.
