WPL 2024/25, MI-W vs UPW-W 16th Match Match Report, March 06, 2025

Toss Mumbai Indians chose to bowl vs UP Warriorz

Harmanpreet Kaur called it right at the toss and Mumbai Indians opted to bowl first against UP Warriorz at the Ekana Stadium. In all the 16 matches thus far, captains have been happy to chase with only two teams – UPW being one of those – winning a match defending a target.

The Deepti Sharma-led UPW, who are on the brink of missing out on the playoffs, went in unchanged. They did not use Gouher Sultana with the ball in the previous outing and continued to persist with her in the XI.

The square boundaries from the new pitch were at 58m and 51m with the straight hit being only 65m. A win for MI would leave them well-placed to make the playoffs for a third year in a row.

UP Warriorz: 1 Grace Harris, 2 Kiran Navgire, 3 Georgia Voll, 4 Vrinda Dinesh, 5 Deepti Sharma (capt), 6 Shweta Sehrawat, 7 Uma Chetry (wk), 8 Chinelle Henry, 9 Sophie Ecclestone, 10 Gouher Sultana, 11 Kranti Goud

Mumbai Indians: 1 Yastika Bhatia (wk), 2 Hayley Matthews, 3 Nat Sciver-Brunt, 4 Harmanpreet Kaur (capt), 5 Amelia Kerr, 6 S Sajana, 7 Amanjot Kaur, 8 G Kamalini, 9 Sanskriti Gupta, 10 Shabnim Ismail, 11 Parunika Sisodia
