From the weather, to the competition, to the points table, it’s all heating up. We’ve seen it all in the last two weeks: thumping wins, nail-biters, even a super over.

Mumbai Indians have pretty much had the whole range themselves – starting with a last-ball defeat to Delhi Capitals, to coming back hard with a big win to maintain their unbeaten record against Gujarat Giants, to avenging the loss in the Eliminator from last year with a clinical last-over win over RCB.

Nat, well, has been Nat in every way, dependable, run-machine. Shabnim Ismail has been cranking up the pace. Hayley Matthews is one wicket away from reclaiming the Purple Cap. Kaptaan Kaur has been leading from the front, both with bat and on the field. Amanjot has announced herself. Kamalini’s calm and courage at 16 has been extremely heartwarming to watch.

The UP Warriorz are up next, and they are coming off the high of the Super Over win from last night. It promises to be a real cracker!
