GRACE HARRIS AND SOPHIE ECCLESTONE POWER UP WARRIORZ TO SIX-WICKET VICTORY OVER GUJARAT GIANTS IN WPL

UP Warriorz secured a comfortable six-wicket victory over the Gujarat Giants, with Grace Harris playing a pivotal role in the chase on a sluggish surface in the Women's Premier League (WPL) match in Bengaluru on Friday. Harris's blistering unbeaten innings of 60 runs off just 33 balls, including nine boundaries and two sixes, guided the Warriorz to their target of 143 runs in just 15.4 overs. Skipper Alyssa Healy also contributed with a quickfire 33 runs off 21 balls, setting the tone for the chase.

The Giants' innings had a promising start with Lara Wolvaardt's 28 runs helping them reach 41 in the Powerplay. However, they struggled to maintain momentum, managing to score just 142 runs for the loss of five wickets. Left-arm spinner Sophie Ecclestone's impressive spell of 3/20 capitalised on the sluggish pitch conditions.
