UPWW vs MIW Match Preview
The UP Warriorz lack big names from the Indian National team but they have invested in some of the best international talents during the auctions, and they haven’t been disappointed so far. Tahlia McGrath and Alyssa Healy, are the top-ranked batters in WT20 and WODI respectively according to the latest ICC rankings and they, unsurprisingly, are the top-performing batters in the team.
Alyssa Healy smashed an unbeaten 96 of just 47 deliveries to lead the Warriorz to a huge win over the RCB in their last outing, and the team will be hoping for a similar performance from her in this match too. The presence of Kiran Navgire, Grace Harris, and Deepti Sharma adds a lot of depth to the UP batting.
Hayley Matthews has been sensational with the bat as well as the ball so far, as she has scored 156 runs and has also picked up 6 wickets. Matthews, along with Yastika Bhatia, has given the Mumbai Indians some good starts this season to form a solid base for the team.
Nat Sciver-Brunt and skipper Harmanpreet Kaur have played some electric innings to propel their team to big totals. The Mumbai Indians’ biggest strength lies in the fact that they have plenty of all-rounders in the team which gives them a great amount of flexibility in their bowling as well as in the batting order. Saika Ishaque has been the find of the season for the Indians as she has been phenomenal with the ball.
Weather Report
The weather is expected to be clear but warm during the match.
Pitch Report
The Brabourne Stadium has an excellent surface to bat on and has produced many high-scoring encounters already this season. The team batting first will be looking to score over 200 runs in the first innings to put pressure on the opposition batters. The quicker bowlers get little help here and have little margin of error in terms of line and length. The spinners however will get some assistance as the match progresses.
