WPL weekly star tracker: Hayley’s stunning form; Harman cheers in Mohali

By Mumbai Indians

You're in for a treat as our superstar WPL cricketers have been making waves with their incredible performances on and off the field this week! This scoop has got it all for you, from Hayley Matthews extending her patch purple, to Chloe Tryon and Issy Wong raising their stocks, to our Kaptaan Kaur turning up the Blue and Gold support in Punjab. Read on ..

Hayley Matthews – Purple patch getting more purple

Even if you’re living under a rock, you should know this. Aapli Hayley has been absolutely phenomenal lately, breathing fire with her outstanding performances! After the WPL and the FairBreak Invitational 02 in Hong Kong, she is continuing her exceptional form at home, in and for Barbados playing the Women's Super50 Cup.

She bounced back from a quiet day in the opener and notched up a sensational 42-ball 72* (8 fours, 4 sixes), striking at 171.4 and recorded impressive figures of 2/25 (7) against Guyana to drop a chunk of her purple in this tournament as well. Talk about consistency _/\_

Tryon turning outcomes at RHF Trophy - 

Chloe Tryon in full flow is a sight to behold, innit! In the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy, her performances have been nothing short of remarkable. Her standout moment came against The Blaze, where she produced remarkable figures of 4/16 (7.5 overs). Her spell gave the Diamonds a glimmer of hope and an opportunity to secure an unlikely victory while defending a low total of 62, but that sadly wasn't to be.

Issy, is by no means easy (for opponents) -

Why do we say so? Issy Wong, playing for Central Sparks, has just been letting the ball do all the talking. In her previous couple of outings against the Thunder and the Southern Vipers, she churned out figures of 1/29 (5 overs) and 1/31 (8.1 overs) respectively. Okay, we are just stating the obvious again, but let us: she’s well and truly on her way to becoming one heck of a premier fast bowler.

Paltan, here's a BONUS read!! 

Harmanpreet's back on the field - 

But here's a catch - Kaptaan Kaur, a fervent fan, was at the Mohali Stadium with friends to witness an enthralling PBKSvMI IPL game. She was just the lucky charm we needed on the day, as our boys chased down another 200+ total with ease. The Punjabi ki shaan had the perfect outing on her home ground!
