MIW vs UPWW Match Preview
The Mumbai Indians will heavily rely on the opening pair of Hayley Matthews and Yastika Bhatia. Although they have provided the team with a few good starts, their performance has lacked consistency. Harmanpreet Kaur, who missed a couple of matches due to injuries, has returned to the team and brings stability to the middle order.
Amelia Kerr and Nat Sciver-Brunt have proven to be dependable all-rounders. Kerr not only leads the team in runs scored but also in wickets taken. She will join forces with Hayley Matthews and Saika Ishaque in the spin department.
The pace attack of the Mumbai Indians consists of Shabnim Ismail, Sciver-Brunt, and Pooja Vastrakar.
Alyssa Healy and Kiran Navgire have performed admirably at the top of the order and are poised to provide the team with a solid foundation. Healy's impressive half-century in the previous game showcased her excellent form. Furthermore, Grace Harris and Deepti Sharma have made valuable contributions with the bat, adding depth to the lineup.
Harris leads the Warriorz in run-scoring with 158 runs and has also taken 2 wickets. She will partner with Sophie Ecclestone, Rajeshwari Gayakwad, and Chamari Athapaththu in the spin bowling department. Ecclestone, one of the top wicket-takers in the tournament, is expected to play a crucial role in the upcoming match.
The Warriorz may lack depth in seam bowling talent, with Anjali Sarvani being the sole specialist pace bowler on the team.
Weather Report
The weather will be pleasant with temperatures of under 20 degrees. There might be some dew on the ground during the second inning.
Pitch Report
The pitch at New Delhi is firm and offers plenty of pace and bounce. The grass is dried out and not many cracks for the bowlers to exploit. However, the seamers will get some movement through the air with the new ball.
