WPL: How Warriorz’s gamble of making Kiran Navgire open the innings paid off
Kiran Navgire had a lacklustre 2023 WPL. In the Senior Women’s T20 Trophy that followed, she made just 88 runs in six games for Maharashtra. Yet, the UP Warriorz, in full faith of her big-hitting abilities, tweaked their lineup in the absence of regular opener Dinesh Vrinda to give Navgire a go at the top of the order in what looked like a challenging run chase against the Mumbai Indians on Wednesday.Whether a stroke of luck, or an inspired choice, it is fair to assume she has now cemented her spot.
It had been a strikingly disappointing first innings for the UP Warriorz.
2 points in the 💼@UPWarriorz record their first win of the #TATAWPL 2024 courtesy some power hitting 👍👍
