England\u2019s Issy Wong took the first Women\u2019s Premier League hat-trick as the Mumbai Indians secured a dominant 72-run victory against UP Warriorz in the tournament\u2019s eliminator.<\/p>\n
Her Mumbai and England teammate Nat Sciver-Brunt posted 72 not out off 38 balls in the first innings as Mumbai finished with a huge total of 182 for four.<\/p>\n Wong then starred with the ball, finishing with figures of four for 15. The 20-year-old removed the Australia batter Alyssa Healy in her opening over before making history with her third.<\/p>\n Kiran Navgire hit Wong\u2019s second delivery of the 13th over straight to Sciver-Brunt, who made a clean catch on the deep-midwicket boundary.<\/p>\n Wong then bowled Simran Shaikh and her England teammate Sophie Ecclestone in successive deliveries to complete her feat and help Mumbai reach the final.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s all still a bit surreal, it\u2019s been a bit of a whirlwind for the last couple of weeks,\u201d Wong said. \u201cI was just trying to hit the stumps [for the hat-trick ball]. Sophie said well bowled, she is a good friend and she is a quality cricketer as well. It\u2019s a bit more exciting as you know each other well.<\/p>\n \u201cYou don\u2019t enter competitions to make the semi-finals, you enter them to be competitive and try to win it.\u201d<\/p>\n
