Turning Point

The game changed dramatically when Amelia Kerr picked up a five-wicket haul, triggering a collapse in the UP Warriorz batting innings. Her double-wicket over in the 15th, dismissing Vrinda Dinesh and Chinelle Henry, left the Warriorz reeling. Hayley Matthews then came back to dismiss Shweta Sehrawat, while Parunika Sisodia dismissed Chetry, leaving UPW down to 125/7.

Dominant Partnership

Hayley Matthews and Nat Sciver-Brunt formed a dominant partnership, putting on 92 runs for the second wicket. This pair has tormented the Warriorz before, having added 133 off 81 in their previous meeting. Sciver-Brunt continued her incredible form this season, taking her tally past 300, which she has scored at a strike rate close to 150. Matthews found her form, cutting and pulling with aplomb against Kranti Goud, Henry, and Sophie Ecclestone in the PowerPlay.

Clinical Finish

The Mumbai Indians Women finished the game with clinical precision, with Amanjot Kaur and Yastika Bhatia taking them over the line. The Warriorz had a bright start, with Georgia Voll scoring a quick-fire half-century, but their second-half collapse proved costly. Amelia Kerr's 5 for 38 and Hayley Matthews' 2 for 25 restricted UPW to 150/9, a total that MI chased down with nine balls to spare. The win pushes Mumbai to second spot, while UP Warriorz stay rooted to the bottom, needing favors from other teams to stay alive in the tournament.

Quotes

Conventionality is not morality. Self-righteousness is not religion. To attack the first is not to assail the last. - By Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre

The only position that leaves me with no cognitive dissonance is atheism. It is not a creed. Death is certain, replacing both the siren-song of Paradise and the dread of Hell. Life on this earth, with all its mystery and beauty and pain, is then to be lived far more intensely: we stumble and get up, we are sad, confident, insecure, feel loneliness and joy and love. There is nothing more; but I want nothing more. - By Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Infidel

There is lust and then there is love. They are related, but still very different things. To indulge in one requires little but honeyed speech and a change of clothes; to obtain the other, by contrast, a man must give up his rib. In return, his woman will undo the sin of Eve, and bring him back into Paradise. - By Anne Fortier, Juliet

You may not be her first, her last, or her only. She loved before she may love again. But if she loves you now, what else matters? She's not perfect—you aren't either, and the two of you may never be perfect together but if she can make you laugh, cause you to think twice, and admit to being human and making mistakes, hold onto her and give her the most you can. She may not be thinking about you every second of the day, but she will give you a part of her that she knows you can break—her heart. So don't hurt her, don't change her, don't analyze and don't expect more than she can give. Smile when she makes you happy, let her know when she makes you mad, and miss her when she's not there. - By Bob Marley

Sometimes I go to God and say, "God, if Thou dost never answer another prayer while I live on this earth, I will still worship Thee as long as I live and in the ages to come for what Thou hast done already. God’s already put me so far in debt that if I were to live one million millenniums I couldn’t pay Him for what He’s done for me. - By A.W. Tozer

I wish we could sometimes love the characters in real life as we love the characters in romances. There are a great many human souls whom we should accept more kindly, and even appreciate more clearly, if we simply thought of them as people in a story. - By G.K. Chesterton, What I Saw in America
