On Thursday, the West Indian bowler had 3/19 and a quick-fire 32 to help Mumbai Indians beat Delhi Capital by eight wickets with five overs to spare. Mumbai Indians pace bowler Issy Wong, who also took three wickets on Thursday, said the team’s bowling attack variety had made them a force to be reckoned with.
We have an extremely diverse bowling attack. There are left-arm spinners, off-spinners, and leg spinners. We have a variety of seam bowlers with different change-ups, Wong explained.
We cover all angles. It enables us to be extremely adaptable. Harman (Kaur) has been amazing, just pulling a few strings here and there. Especially Hayley, Harman brought her on at the perfect time in the game against RCB, and our attack’s diversity allows us to do that, she added.
Wong added that the Mumbai Indians couldn’t have had a better start to the WPL.
(Winning) three out of three is a fantastic start. It doesn’t get any better than that. We put in a lot of effort in training. We’ve made the most of our squad, and there have been some outstanding performances from all of the girls, she said.
The Delhi Capitals’ head coach, Jonathan Batty, stated that losing seven wickets for just over 20 runs was the reason for their defeat. I applaud the Mumbai Indians for bowling exceptionally well with the new ball. They limited our powerplay, he said.
We were recovering well at 80 for three after 12 overs but then we lost seven wickets for 24 runs and only batted out 18 overs. It hurts you to lose in two overs at the tail end. It wasn’t the best wicket we’d been playing on, so 150-160 might have been a more realistic target, he said.
