Issy was in the mood to light up the ground as she struck with her very second delivery of the day. The 20-year-old used the movement on offer to good effect getting the better UP Warriorz captain Alyssa Healy. He kept tight lines in her first spell, piling pressure on the opposition.
She returned later in the day, forcing a false shot off Kiran Navgire. Navgire was the sole UP batter who looked comfortable, and she had to depart. Wong followed it up with a crushing yorker to get the better of young Simran Sheikh. Facing the hat-trick ball was Sophie Ecclestone, who was also beaten by pace. Wong eventually finished with figures of 4/15.
