US EditionLanning's Wait Is over as Her WPL Side Win at Last
Harleen Deol scored an unbeaten 64 off 39 balls to lead UP Warriorz to a seven-wicket win, their first in the season, after a controversial retired out decision the previous day.
- On Thursday at DY Patil Stadium, India batter Harleen Deol returned unbeaten 64 off 39 to anchor UP Warriorz's successful chase, finishing 162/3 in 18.1 overs to win by seven wickets.
- On Wednesday, Harleen Deol was retired out on 47 off 36, a rare WPL tactic signalled by UP Warriorz head coach Abhishek Nayar, who said `It wasn't like a very spontaneous decision` after internal discussions.
- Deol and Phoebe Litchfield forged a 73-run partnership, with Deol hitting 12 boundaries and Chloe Tryon providing late support with an unbeaten cameo.
- The victory lifts UP Warriorz in the standings and restores confidence, as the win ended a three-game losing streak and Meg Lanning recorded her first WPL win as captain before Saturday's rematch with Mumbai Indians.
- Beyond the win, coaching plans target more power from key batters as Abhishek Nayar, UP Warriorz head coach, aims to add power to 'touch' players starting today to next year, noting Deol's limited six-hitting and resilience.
