The match in the Women’s Premier League 2025 between UP Warriorz Women (UPW-W) and Mumbai Indians (MI-W) will start at 7:30 PM IST on Thursday, March 6, at the Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow.
On the other hand, the Mumbai Indians Women are in a better position, sitting third in the standings with three wins and two losses from five matches. However, they are coming off a disappointing nine-wicket defeat to the Delhi Capitals Women and will be eager to bounce back and regain their winning form in this crucial match.
Currently, the UP Warriorz find themselves struggling at the bottom of the points table, with only two wins out of six matches. Their recent loss to Gujarat by eight wickets has increased the pressure on them to perform better, especially since they will be playing at home. To strengthen their lineup, they have brought in Georgia Voll as a replacement for Chamari Athapaththu, hoping her skills will help turn their fortunes around.
Historically, the Mumbai Indians have had the upper hand in their encounters with the UP Warriorz, winning four out of the six matches played between the two teams in the WPL. The last five matches show a clear trend, with Mumbai dominating the rivalry. Their most convincing victory came in the 2023 Eliminator, where they defeated UP by 72 runs.
In terms of individual performances, Grace Harris has been a standout for UP, scoring a total of 151 runs, while Mumbai’s Nat Sciver-Brunt leads with 261 runs. The bowling department has seen Grace Harris shine for UP with six wickets, while Mumbai’s Hayley Matthews and Nat Sciver-Brunt are joint-highest wicket-takers with seven wickets to their name.
