UP Warriorz captain Deepti Sharma admitted that her team’s middle-order struggles have continued to haunt them despite a strong start at the top. 

Following their six-wicket loss to Mumbai Indians in the Women’s Premier League (WPL) on Thursday, Deepti reflected on the team’s shortcomings while also appreciating young Georgia Voll’s batting effort. Her comments came after Mumbai Indians put on a commanding display, with Amelia Kerr’s excellent five-wicket haul (5-38) and Hayley Matthews’ all-round brilliance (2-25; 68 off 46 balls) helping the defending champions chase down a target of 151 with ease at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium.
