In a thrilling encounter at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru, Mumbai Indians' young spinner Sanskriti Gupta stole the show with a sensational bowling performance against UP Warriorz in the Women's Premier League 2025.
Gupta, who is making waves in the tournament with her impressive bowling skills, took two crucial wickets in a single over to put the brakes on UP Warriorz's batting charge. Her double strike in the 11th over of the match turned the game in Mumbai Indians' favor, leaving UP Warriorz struggling to recover.
Gupta's first victim was UP Warriorz's star batter Dinesh Vrinda, who was caught by Mumbai Indians' fielder Jintimani Kalita. Vrinda's dismissal was a significant blow to UP Warriorz, as she was looking in good touch and had scored 33 runs off 30 balls.
Gupta's second wicket was that of Tahlia McGrath, who was bowled by the young spinner. McGrath's dismissal further dented UP Warriorz's hopes of posting a competitive total.
