Overview
- UP Warriorz chased 162 to win at DY Patil, finishing 162/3 in 18.1 overs as Chloe Tryon added an unbeaten 27 off 11; Mumbai Indians posted 161/5 with Nat Sciver-Brunt top-scoring on 65.
- Head coach Abhishek Nayar said the retire-out call against Delhi was discussed from the 12th over and would be triggered if the scoring did not lift by the 16th or 17th.
- Harleen Deol accepted the decision as a tactical move to unleash Tryon, saying her preparation did not change and that timing, not power, suited the conditions.
- Mumbai captain Harmanpreet Kaur said she was surprised by Deol being retired in the previous game but praised her positive, fluent batting in the win.
- Despite the breakthrough victory, UP Warriorz remain bottom of the table with two points and face Mumbai Indians again on January 17.
