Former India wicketkeeper Deep Dasgupta commended Harleen Deol’s remarkable 64-run innings as a significant statement during UP Warriorz’s triumph over Mumbai Indians in the Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2026. Dasgupta, speaking on JioHotstar’s Match Centre Live, highlighted Deol’s composed knock following a controversial retirement in the previous match.
UP Warriorz showcased a disciplined performance, restricting Mumbai Indians to 161 for 5 before successfully chasing down the target with 11 balls to spare. The team’s bowlers maintained pressure throughout, not allowing Mumbai to dominate.
Harleen Deol played a pivotal role in the chase, scoring 64 runs off 39 balls with finesse and control. Her elegant stroke play, especially on the off-side, guided the team to victory without any late hiccups.
Dasgupta emphasized the significance of the win for UP Warriorz, praising their potential and the cohesion achieved under new leadership. He lauded the team’s simplicity in approach, sticking to basics and executing their strategy effectively.
