Harleen Deol Leads UP Warriorz Past Mumbai Indians for First WPL 2026 Win

Her unbeaten reply after a retire-out the previous day reframed UP’s early-season narrative.

Overview

  • UP Warriorz beat defending champions Mumbai Indians by seven wickets in Navi Mumbai to snap a three-match losing run.
  • Harleen Deol was named Player of the Match after an unbeaten 64 off 39 balls that sealed the 162 chase with 11 balls to spare.
  • The knock followed her retire-out in the previous game, with Deol later saying Chloe Tryon can change the scenario in late overs.
  • Mumbai posted 161 for five as Nat Sciver-Brunt top-scored with 65 off 43, before also removing both UPW openers.
