WPL 2023: Best India XI from second week of tournament
These Indian players look impactful for their franchises in two weeks of the maiden WPL.
2. Yastika Bhatia
Yastika Bhatia has looked decent with her bat for Mumbai Indians (MI) in the tournament thus far. Scoring 158 runs in six matches at a strike rate of 114.49, she has played her role effectively for the franchise. However, her best innings in this inaugural season is yet to come as she hasn’t played a massive knock with her bat till now.
The opening duo of Bhatia and Matthews has benefitted MI as the Caribbean batter runs the scored board at a swift pace with her aggressive game style while the other stabilizes the innings with her calm and composed batting attitude. However, in MI’s third game, Bhatia donned the role of a ferocious batter and scored 41 runs in just 32 deliveries at a fine strike rate of 128.13.
The innings against DC emboldened her confidence and she deliver an outstanding knock to her team in the next game against UP Warriorz. The 22-year-old played 42-run innings in 27 deliveries at a jaw-dropping strike rate of 155.56 and contributed to her team’s comprehensive eight-wicket triumph.
