“Its good to play together with great Indian players, get wins”: Sophie Ecclestone

March 7 (ANI): English left-arm spinner Sophie Ecclestone, who top-ranked in the ODI and T20I rankings, is confident of a turnaround in the fortunes of her team, saying her team is very “excited” for the Delhi leg and added that “it’s great to play together” with some great Indian, overseas players.

Sophie, who is a part of the Women’s Premier League franchise (WPL) UP Warriorz, has bagged seven wickets in five matches with an economy of 7.80.

UP Warriorz will play their first match of WPL’s Delhi leg against reigning champions Mumbai Indians on Thursday at the Arun Jaitley Stadium.

The 24-year-old Ecclestone now has 233 wickets across three forms with her left-arm spin bowling, which combines precision, turn, and bounce in equal measure.

“Very excited… need to win last three matches here to qualify. Hopefully, we can do that and put some wins on board. I am very excited to play against Mumbai, they have a great team,” Sophie told ANI in an exclusive interview on the sidelines of a UN programme in Delhi.
