Preview
Mumbai Indians Women are set to take on UP Warriorz in the sixth match of the Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2024 at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. While the defending champions MI-W have begun the new season of the WPL from where they left off last year, the Warriorz have lost their first two matches of the new campaign. A win against the UP Warriorz will put Mumbai Indians Women in a commanding position to dominate the WPL 2024 round-robin stage once again.
Pitch Report
The pitches at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru in the ongoing season of the WPL have been allowed for competitive cricket between the bat and ball, with most of the top players finding themselves in the top run-scoring and wicket-taking leaderboards. The average first innings score at this venue in the WPL 2024 after four matches is 143, which is well below the total either of the Mumbai Indians Women and UP Warriorz would wanna set in their upcoming clash.
Team Analysis
Mumbai Indians Women
The captain Harmanpreet Kaur, Yastika Bhatia, and Amelia Kerr, have scored the majority of the runs for Mumbai Indians Women in the first couple of matches of the WPL 2024 season. Shabnim Ismail has led the bowling attack for the MI-W exceptionally while getting great support from the likes of Hayley Matthews, Nat Sciver-Brunt, Amelia Kerr, and Pooja Vastrakar chipping-in with key wickets as well.

UP Warriorz
In the first couple of matches of the WPL 2024 season, Shweta Sehrawat has come of age as a batter in the UP Warriorz colours, but the rest of the batting lineup hasn’t done justice to their talent and skill thus far. The experienced spin-bowling duo of Sophie Ecclestone and Rajeshwari Gayakwad haven’t bowled badly for UP Warriorz, but the lack of runs from the batters hasn’t allowed them and the rest of the bowlers to make a massive impact.

Match Prediction
Conclusion
Mumbai Indians Women are the form team in the WPL 2024, they can’t afford to take the challenge of UP Warriorz lightly at any stage of their upcoming contest.
