In the 11th over of Mumbai Indians’ innings, Anjali Sarvani, the pacer, bowled a slower one down leg-side that grazed the stump and lit up the bail. The bail moved from its groove, but it did not fall, which resulted in Harmanpreet Kaur getting a lifeline to survive at the crease. UP Warriorz captain Alyssa Healy started celebrating behind the stumps but soon realized that her counterpart had survived by the narrowest of margins.
