Isabelle Wong (4/15) recorded the first hat-trick of the Women's Premier League 2023 after Nat Sciver-Brunt's brutal 38-ball 72 as Mumbai Indians sealed a spot in the final with a 72-run drubbing of UP Warriorz in the Eliminator. The final of the inaugural WPL will be played between the two best sides that occupied the top two spots of the points table with 12 points each, Delhi Capitals and Mumbai Indians, on Sunday at the Brabourne Stadium. Having set a daunting 183-run target, Mumbai Indians blew away what had been a resolute top and middle-order of the UP Warriorz, with England pacer Wong producing a superb hat-trick in the 13th over to seal the outcome in favour of her side. UP Warriorz were shot out for a mere 110 in 17.4 overs.
