The two added a 79-run stand for the second wicket and everything fell apart for the Warriorz once Harris and Vrinda were dismissed in back to back overs. Shweta Sehrawat (19 off 13) and Uma Chettry (13* off 20) scored a few runs but it hardly mattered in the end. As many as even UP batters were dismissed for single-digit scores.
