Match Prediction
Conclusion
Mumbai Indians Women are in impeccable form and have lost just two matches so far in the tournament. The Harmanpreet Kaur-led side has hardly set a foot wrong while UP Warriorz have had their ups and downs. Also, MI Women defeated UP Warriorz by 8 wickets when they first met in WPL. However, UP Warriorz took the second game by 5 wickets in the reverse fixture. But seeing the form MI Women are coming on, they are the favourites to win the match on Friday and seal the finals berth.
