[Watch] Harmanpreet Kaur takes a stunner in the slips to dismiss Devika Vaidya in WPL 2023

Mumbai Indians (MI) captain Harmanpreet Kaur pulled off a stunning catch at first slip to dismiss UP Warriorz opener Devika Vadiya in the ongoing WPL 2023 match on Saturday. Kaur's diving effort helped MI scalp an early wicket in the second innings.

The 15th match of the Women's Premier League is currently underway at the Dr. DY Patil Sports Academy in Navi Mumbai, where tabletoppers Mumbai Indians are up against the third-placed UP Warriorz. UP captain Alyssa Healy won the toss and decided to field first.

A brilliant bowling performance from Sophie Ecclestone (3/15) helped the UP Warriorz bowl the Mumbai Indians out for just 127 runs. Devika Vaidya opened the innings for Alyssa Healy in the run-chase. Vaidya started off slowly, scoring one run off the first over bowled by Natalie Sciver.

Hayley Matthews bowled the second over of the UP Warriorz innings, picking up a wicket straightaway as Devika Vaidya edged her first ball towards the slip region. Captain Harmanpreet Kaur was the lone fielder standing in the slips, and she made no mistake in completing a magnificent one-handed catch.
