Five wins on the trot, then a couple of setbacks, and finally a win to get the momentum back. The business end of the tournament has been a roller coaster ride for us. We have gone through the ebbs and flows. But now is the time to be steady and consistent because there is no second chance.

Yes, we play the Eliminator of this Women's Premier League (WPL). In a do-or-die game, we take on the UP Warriorz, a team that broke our envious five-match winning streak in the league stage. Time to settle scores? Surely, yes! 

Our team has played like a well-oiled unit, more often than not, in this competition. The top five with the bat – Hayley, Yastika, Nat, Harman, and Amelia - have scored the bulk of the runs. Pooja's comeback has been a big plus, especially her batting towards the fag end of the innings. Our spin trio in Hayley-Amelia-Saika look lethal and are beautifully complimented by the two English pace batteries in Issy and Nat.   

While we have had a fantastic run in the WPL, we have one of the toughest oppositions to face next. What do we need to beware of? For starters, Healy's uncanny ability to score runs in big games, then there is Tahlia and Grace, who seem to be tonking the ball with ease, and finally, the spin twins of Deepti and Ecclestone, who can wreak havoc with the ball.

BRING.IT.ON.

What to expect: A game of equals. Be ready for an exhibition of fireworks and plenty of oohs and aahs. We seek redemption. In short, a perfect end to the working week! 

What they said:

Lydia Greenway, Fielding Coach – "We've performed really well up until this point, which is great, but we've to keep performing. Our top order who have done brilliantly well have to make sure that they are topped up and are happy with what they have got."

Yastika Bhatia, wicket-keeper and batter – "We are confident. But at the same time, there is a very thin line between confidence and overconfidence. We have to understand that and keep working hard and not take things lightly."
