That was as comprehensive a performance from the Mumbai Indians as it could get! Harmanpreet Kaur and Co did stutter towards the business end of the league stage, suffering back-to-back losses against UP Warriorz and Delhi Capitals, but managed to rediscover their dominant touch tonight. They bossed UP Warriorz with bat and ball tonight to walk away with a 72-run win and have set a date with Delhi Capitals in the summit clash at Brabourne on Sunday!

Although one does wonder how the game would pan out had Sophie Ecclestone not dropped Sciver-Brunt on 6 earlier in the evening. Food for thought.
