UPW-W vs MI-W Team Previews

UP Warriorz Women

With the absence of regular skipper Alyssa Healy due to injury, experienced Indian all-rounder Deepti Sharma has taken over the captaincy. She has a wealth of knowledge of local conditions and playing in the WPL.

She is arguably the most valuable player in the side with 327 runs and 13 wickets in her last ten WPL games. The batting lineup is strengthened by the inclusion of Australians Grace Harris and emerging talent Georgia Voll.

Harris made a start with 25 runs in her previous match. Indian batter Kiran Navgire adds depth with batting consistency.

Young prospects like Shweta Sehrawat and Dinesh Vrinda provide fresh energy and potential. Sehrawat has over 250 WPL runs. Behind the stumps, wicketkeeper-batter Uma Chetry is set to play a crucial role in the absence of Healy.

The young talent has a batting average of just over 20 in her last three innings.

In the all-rounder department, West Indies' Chinelle Henry brings a dynamic edge to the team. The West Indian Henry hit 62 runs against the Capitals Women earlier this season. England's Sophie Ecclestone’s exceptional left-arm spin will lead the bowling lineup on a track well suited to her bowling style. She took two wickets in her previous innings against Gujarat Women.

Indian spinner Gouher Sultana adds experience to the spin department to work alongside Ecclestone. Kranti Goud's medium-fast bowling offers variety to the pace attack. The 21-year-old pacer took a wicket in her last game.

Mumbai Indians Women

The Mumbai Indians Women's team, under the captaincy of Harmanpreet Kaur, boasts a diverse and talented squad for the 2025 Women's Premier League (WPL) season. She has six WPL half-centuries and a high score of 95 not out. Wicketkeeper-batter Yastika Bhatia will be agile behind the stumps and a master blaster at the top of the batting order.

All-rounder Hayley Matthews brings a dynamic edge with her explosive batting and effective off-spin bowling. Nat Sciver-Brunt is a seasoned English all-rounder, equally dangerous with bat and ball. She hit 75 runs not out and took three wickets against the UP Warriorz Women previously.

Leg-spinning all-rounder Amelia Kerr provides strategic versatility as a spinner who will be effective on the surface and able to hit the team out of trouble with the willow. The 24-year-old has 27 WPL wickets. Emerging local talents like Sajeevan Sajana and Amanjot Kaur infuse youthful energy into the team.

Amanjot Kaur scored an unbeaten 17 runs and took a wicket in her previous WPL match. Kamalini Gunalan, at just 16, will be looking to take as much experience from the tournament as possible.

Sanskriti Gupta's off-spin and Jintimani Kalita's medium-fast bowling further strengthen the bowling attack.

Young off-spinner Gupta has three wickets in her three previous WPL matches. Veteran pacer Shabnim Ismail adds frightening pace to the squad. Her experience at the highest level will need to guide the rest of the bowling attack. Speedy Shabnim has five wickets this tournament.

UPW-W vs MI-W Toss Prediction

Both teams may feel more confident by batting second. Both wins for UP Warriorz Women against Mumbai Indians Women have come via chasing. The previous game in this head-to-head was won by Mumbai Indians Women when they chased a target of 143.

Pitch and Conditions

The pitch at this venue is expected to be bowler-friendly for the spinners and slower bowlers. The dry weather may lead to batting conditions being reasonable throughout the match, but in the same breath, the spinners are likely to extract spin from the wicket. The previous match at the same venue saw Gujarat Giants Women scoring 186 for five in 20 overs batting first.

Temperatures on matchday will be blistering hot, but the humidity will not be a major factor. The day will be sunny and uninterrupted by rain with no chance of rain.

UPW-W vs MI-W Betting Tips

The bottom of the table UP Warriorz Women will have one of their last few chances of the tournament to stay in contention for the knockouts against the Mumbai Indians Women. Although currently sitting in third position on the table, the Mumbai Women will need to do more to guarantee their spot in either the Eliminator or Final. The away side will be confident of another win this season and will be favourites.

Bet on Mumbai Indians Women to win this match.
