A poor delivery and gets the right treatment. Tanuja Kanwar bowled a waist high full toss to Grace Harris, who slammed it over deep mid-wicket for a big six.
A length delivery from Annabel Sutherland and Grace Harris has slammed it down the ground for a four. This was a powerful shot as the long-on and long-off fielders had no chance to stop it.
Back-to-back wickets for Kim Garth and with it, she claims a five-wicket haul. She had earlier taken three wickets in one over and now she takes two in another over. What a night she is having! It is the second five-wicket haul in WPL.
Kiran Navgire races to her half-century in 40 balls. This has been a special knock from the right-handed batter, who has been fighting a lone battle so far for her side. The required run rate is around 10 for UP Warriorz, but as long as Navgire is there, they will keep their hopes alive.
Kiran Navgire is lucky this time! She had edged Annabel Sutherland's good length delivery but the ball passed inches away from wicketkeeper Sushma Verma and ran to the boundary line for a four.
