Natalie Sciver Brunt(Player of the match(72* runs off 38 balls) ): " Yeah, the crowd was incredible tonight. The noise at the time when Wong took the hat trick was exceptional. Yeah, batting was a bit easier tonight, I enjoyed batting today. Yeah, I have said Sophie thank you for dropping my catch😂. Yeah, I am really enjoying bowling the new ball. Yeah, looking forward for the finals, I need to start from zero again there and play a good knock."
Harmanpreet Kaur (Mumbai Indians Women Captain): "Well, we have a decent bowling attack. They were key today. Wong is enthusiastic and happy that she got a hat-trick. Happy for Sciver that she got runs. She is a key player for us. Great fielding by our girls. We pride on that the fielding. The young girls are up for it and we have had a great atmosphere that helps the youngstars to do so well. Well looking forward to the final. Delhi Capitals are a good side and we are looking forward to a cracking game on Sunday."
The super striker of the match award goes to Kiran Navgire.
Time for Post-match presentation ceremony.
Neeta Ambani(Owner of Mumbai Indians Women): "Today first and foremost the way girls played. They lift up in the pressure situation and got over the line. So special, it's a goosebump movement. It's the first time in the MI history that the bowler has taken a hat-trick. All the girls played pretty well and we have got exceptional support. Special mention to Wong she bowled very well as she took 4 wickets. WPL is a platform for the girls, to come and perform. The only message to MI girls is play the MI brand cricket play fearlessly and bring the trophy."
Issy Wong: "Yeah Nat deserves the POTM award she played very well the ball and she did well with the bat too. Yeah, it's been a great experience with the Mumbai Indians so far. We got a bit of swing under the lights. In the later stage of the match, the ball was swinging. I was just trying to target the stumps on the hat trick ball. Sophie just said well bowled, it's a good challenge to bowl to a good batter. Jobs all done, we have done it in the semi-finals now would be looking to bring the trophy."
Alyssa Healy(UP Warriorz Skipper): " The things didn't go our way for sure. If the catch of Natalie was taken then things would have been different, but it happens in cricket. While chasing we kept on losing the wickets and never looked good in the second innings. We have not played good cricket in the tournament whole throughout, I think the only game in which we played to our potential was the last game against Mumbai Indians. The two good teams in the tournament will be facing each other in the finals, I just want to wish them good luck. We would have loved to win the trophy. Hopefully, we will come stronger in the next season"

It looked plumb with the naked eye as Rajeshwari was trapped right in front of the stumps.

17.1 S Ishaque to R Gayakwad
