Nat’s Marvellous Innings Help Mumbai To Win This Big Match
Mumbai the winning team must have felt one time they lost the match and their death bowling cost them. But Nat Sciver and Amelia Kerr’s partnership take away the match over the fence. They took out the match calmly. The total is not that big but the loss of openers in quick succession made the scoring rate slow than usual.
But the previous match hero for MI Nat Sciver was there in the field. Her 60 not out give DC a big blow. After losing openers in the powerplay skipper Harmanpreet and match hero Nat takes the job into their hand. And their worthy partnership of 72 helps them to achieve the goal. After the runout of the skipper in one moment looks like the match slips from MI’s hands.
When MI needed 21 runs in the last 2 overs looks like the MI campaign came under pressure. But Nat is there to take over the fence with the help of Amelia Kerr.
