She ended up scoring 57 (31) with the help of six fours and four sixes to get UP off to a blistering start.

3. Issy Wong’s all-round show
Playing her first game of the season, the 21-year-old shone with both and ball for MI. Wong first played a quick-cameo of 15 (6) with the bat clobbering one four and a six. She later picked two wickets in her second over sending Tahlia McGrath (1 off 4) and Alyssa Healy (33 off 29) back in the pavilion to bring UP back in the game. The England seamer was the pick of the bowlers for MI as she registered figures of 2/30 in three overs.

The ground-entering incident shouldn’t have happened. As a girl that’s creepy. Even in men’s matches shouldn’t happen #MIvUPW

UP Warriors gave way almost 20+ runs through misfields and still ended up thrashing MI. This is what happens when you take your opponent for granted. Yes, you got be kidding me that both Harmanpreet and Ismail were injured at the same time. #MIvUPW #WPL #WPLT20
