Over 350 runs in the first game and that trend could continue in the upcoming game with RCB taking on DC. That'll be the final game at Navi Mumbai this WPL. So do check it out. Thanks for tuning in here.

Meg Lanning, POTM and Warriorz captain: Was a nice bounce back after losing the first three. group's stayed up, great to get two wins vs MI, gives momentum heading into Baroda. We did a lot of planning, how we want to execute. They have good batters. Last two games, we've nailed it. Nice batting with Pheebs, we hit different areas. She took pressure off me, hope to have a couple more going forward. We can finish our batting inns better, MI took pace off. We've tightened up a few areas.

Harmanpreet Kaur, MI Captain: We wanted to chase as a group. Even though we didn't bowl well, we restricted them under 200. Our batting, we weren't good in the powerplay, gotta work on it. They (Litchfield and Lanning) were going hard and we missed chances, if we do that teams will put us under pressure. If we come together with less mistakes, that'll help us win matches. Kamalini is very important for us, doing great behind the stumps. Hayley wasn't well at the start, so we had to make a lot of changes. But now it's settled and we'll be able to settle in.

6:20pm Fantastic bowling performance from Warriorz. Getting early wickets, as often is the case in T20, gave them a big advantage. Another opening pair - Sajana and Matthews - for MI didn't work out. Sajana's finishing skills were also missed. Gaud struck early and closed out her spell early. Ecclestone got Matthews and bowled in all stages. Shikha was sensational at the death. Rare off day for Nicola Carey with bat. Amanjot and, more notably, Kerr found and cleared the boundary a lot. They kept MI in the game but couldn't stop UPW from beating them twice.
