Mumbai Indians Women vs UP Warriorz Women Live: Deepti’s role under scrutiny
UP Warriorz may need to rethink how they are utilising Deepti Sharma. Despite her experience and success in Indian conditions, her role has been limited so far.
Against Delhi Capitals, Deepti walked in at No. 9 in the final over, a match after scoring an unbeaten 45. With the ball, she was held back until the 15th over but made an immediate impact, dismissing an in-form Lizelle Lee and finishing with 2 for 26 from three overs. In the opening game as well, she bowled only three overs.
With Navi Mumbai surfaces beginning to show signs of wear and offering assistance to slower bowlers, UPW could benefit from involving Deepti more prominently, both with bat and ball.
