MUMBAI: Mumbai Indians were off the blocks at such a searing pace that at one point it looked like no one would be able halt their juggernaut. But two defeats in the last three matches meant they missed out on an automatic place in the final of the Women's Premier League. More importantly, it laid bare the chinks in their armour which the UP Warriorz will try to exploit when they square-off against MI in the Eliminator at the DY Patil Stadium on Friday.
MI won their first five matches with ease and outgunned their opponents in both departments. All thanks to skipper Harmanpreet Kaur, Hayley Matthews, Nat Sciver-Brunt and Yastika Bhatia's effort with the bat and Saika Ishaque, Amelia Kerr, Issy Wong along with Matthews and Sciver-Brunt's guile with the ball.
