MIW vs UPWW Team Previews
Mumbai Indians Women
The Mumbai Indians have had an excellent start to their campaign and have won both their matches so far. As a result, the team is sitting pretty at the top of the table.
Yastika Bhatia has played well at the top of the order and scored a half-century in the season opener. However, the team will want her to be consistent. Hayley Matthews hasn’t found her form yet but it is just a matter of time before she starts going.
Mumbai’s biggest strength lies in its middle order. Skipper Harmanpreet Kaur has led the team from the front, scoring 101 runs in 2 innings. She has been well-supported by Nat Sciver-Brunt and Amelia Kerr. The duo has done well with the ball too, picking up 9 wickets between them.
Amelia Kerr is the leading wicket-taker of the season with 6 wickets. Shabmim Ismail bowled an excellent spell in the last match, picking up 3 wickets, and will lead the attack with the new ball.
Mumbai Indians Women Playing 11
Yastika Bhatia, Hayley Matthews, Natalie Sciver, Amelia Kerr, Pooja Vastrakar, Amanjot Kaur, Issy Wong, Sajeevan Sajana, Humaira Kazi, Sathyamoorthy Keerthana, Saika Ishaque.
UP Warriorz Women
The UP Warriorz haven’t had the best of starts this year and have lost both their opening matches. As a result, the team is placed firmly at the bottom of the table with a terrible NRR.
Despite having a strong batting unit, the Warriorz have been unable to score big runs. Alyssa Healy and Vrinda Dinesh have failed to give the team a strong start in both matches. There are a couple of quality all-rounders in the middle order including Tahlia McGrath and Grace Harris but they have been rather inconsistent.
Shweta Sehrawat was impressive in the last match as she scored 45 runs in 42 deliveries even as wickets continued to tumble around her. She will be a vital cog in the batting line-up. The bowling has been equally disappointing.
The spinners, Rajeshwari Gayakwad and Sophie Ecclestone have picked up 2 wickets each, while Poonam Khemnar and Gouher Sultana have remained wicketless.
UP Warriorz Women Playing 11
Alyssa Healy, Vrinda Dinesh, Tahlia McGrath, Grace Harris, Shweta Sehrawat, Kiran Navgire, Poonam Khemnar, Deepti Sharma, Sophie Ecclestone, Anjali Sarwani, Rajeshwari Gayakwad.

Pitch and Conditions
The pitch at Bangalore has an even covering of grass but is on the drier side. The bowlers will get some help early on in the match if they hit the right areas. However, the pitch gets better to bat on as the game progresses. Anything under 180 is easily chasable on this ground.
The weather is likely to be warm and humid and there might be some dew on the ground during the latter half of the match.
MIW vs UPWW Betting Tips
Looking at the way both teams have performed this season, it is clear that the Mumbai Indians have an edge in this contest. They have performed better in all departments and are likely to end on top.
Bet on the Mumbai Indians W to win.
Bonus Cricket Bets
The Mumbai Indians have won the toss in both their matches so far, while UP has managed to win just 1. We, therefore, think that the Mumbai Indians have a good chance of winning it once again.
Harmanpreet Kaur is in top form with the bat and is the leading run-scorer for the season. She was the top batter for the team in the last match and scored a half-century in the opening fixture. Seeing her good form, it makes good sense to back her in this bet.
Kerr has bowled well this season to pick up 6 wickets in 2 matches. She was the top bowler in Mumbai’s latest match, picking up 4 wickets and given the lucrative odds, we are betting on her to bowl another good spell.
