Harleen Deol powers UP Warriorz to WPL win
UP Warriorz claimed a dramatic victory in the Women’s Premier League as Harleen Deol bounced back from the controversy of being retired out in the previous game to anchor a crucial win on Tuesday. The match, played in the ongoing WPL season in India, saw Deol play a decisive role with the bat as Warriorz chased down their target under pressure.
Deol struck a composed half-century, steadying the innings after early wickets and guiding her side home with calculated aggression. “I just wanted to focus on the team’s needs and stay calm,” Deol said after the match, calling the knock “a response on the field.”
Warriorz captain Alyssa Healy praised the effort, saying, “Harleen showed great character and maturity today.” The opposition captain admitted missed chances proved costly, noting, “We let the game slip in the middle overs.”
The innings came a day after Deol’s unusual retirement-out decision sparked debate, making her match-winning response one of the standout moments of the WPL campaign.
