Having already made it to the playoffs, for Mumbai Indians, this game is not consequential. However, they will be looking to extend their five-match winning streak to six. So far, MI have done everything right in order to be in this position right now – be it in terms of batting, bowling, or fielding. Throughout the mega tournament, the Harmanpreet Kaur-led unit proved why they are head and shoulders above others. And, if they do manage to win this game also, this would come as no surprise.

Meanwhile, on the other hand, the Alyssa Healy-led UP Warriorz are currently languishing in the third position after having lost three, won two games in the WPL. The heavy defeat at the hands of MI proved that their bowlers failed miserably in their last meeting. Although, their captain Alyssa Healy (58) and Tahlia McGrath (51) did manage to put some runs on the board which in the end were not enough to stop the rampant MI side from winning the game. A redemption-seeking UP Warriorz side will be looking to win this game against MI and make it to the playoffs.
