UP Warriorz lost 3 of their 5 matches in Bengaluru. As the WPL shifts to Delhi, Alyssa Healey and Co. will be hoping for a change of fortunes. The skipper has been in good form at the top of the order.
She’s leading a strong bowling attack that has shown great promise recently. And as they face Mumbai Indians Women once again, Warriorz will be confident.
Harmanpreet Kaur has a huge challenge on her hands coming into this contest. She’s got a great number of options in the bowling attack and yet Mumbai Indians have struggled to pick wickets.
Kaur recently took over the captaincy from Nat-Sciver Brunt in their last game against Delhi Capitals. Can change in captaincy bring about a positive change for MI Women going ahead? Only time can tell.
It was a high-scoring game here in Delhi as DC Women posted 192 runs batting first against MI Women. We expect more of such high scores in the 1st innings in the early games at the Arun Jaitely Stadium in Delhi.

UP Warriorz seemed to have found their rhythm with back-to-back wins after a losing start to the season. They defeated Mumbai Indians by 7 wickets to their first win of WPL 2024.
And then followed it up with a 6-wicket win over Gujarat Giants. Their bowling had been exceptional in both these wins. Alyssa Healey and Grace Harris were among the key players in these successful run-chases.
Healey’s opening partner Kiran Navgire was the top-scorer for UP Warriorz with 57 off 31 balls against Mumbai Indians Women. Nevertheless, there were signs of struggles in the batting lineup as they geared up to face RCB for the second time this season.
And we had predicted the downfall of UP Warriorz in our match prediction for that game. Only Alyssa Healey has been consistent with the bat. Chasing a massive target of 199 runs, the Warriors lost their middle-order cheaply.
A few good knocks from Deepti Sharma and Poonam Khemnar only got them to 175 runs as UP Warriorz lost to RCB once again.
With Chamari Athapatthu and Shweta Sherawat not delivering at 3 and 5, the burned of scoring in the middle falls on Grace Harris. Healey, Navgire, and Harris will be the key players responsible for leading them to a competitive score.
In the bowling attack, Rajeshwari Gayakwad has been a little expensive lately. However, Sophie Ecclestone, Grace Harris, and Deepti Sharma have been consistent and will be their best bets to put MI Women on the backfoot.

After back-to-back wins to kick off their WPL 2024 campaign, Mumbai Indians’ form has dipped with L W L in their last three outings. The captaincy has been changing hands quite often.
It was Harmanpreet Kaur who led the team to back to back in their first two matches but then Nat-Sciver Brunt was appointed the captain for the next two matches.
Kaur was back with skipper’s duties in their last match against DC Women as MI suffered a 29-run loss.
Mumbai Indians’ best performance with the bat came in the season opener against DC in Bengaluru where Harmanpreet Kaur and Yastika Bhatia led them to a 4-wicket win chasing down a 172-run target.
They were off to a great start in their last encounter against UP Warriorz and should have ended with at least 180+ on the board. However, the middle-order failed to build on the start leading MI Women to finish with just 161 for 6.
Nat-Sciver Brunt, Amelia Kerr, and Pooja Vastrakar are the key middle-order batters in this lineup. Their contributions can make a world of difference.
Amelia Kerr played a crucial role in their successful run-chases against Gujarat Giants and RCB. Openers Hayley Matthews and Yastika Bhatia have also looked promising at the top.
With Harmanpreet Kaur back in the side, the middle order gets even stronger and we expect a comeback from the MI Women in this match. Issy Wong should be back in the side for Shabman Ismail.
The former has been more impressive and promising with the ball. Sciver-Brunt and Amelia Kerr are other key bowlers in this setup.

It seems like a good wicket for batting after what DC did in the first game of the season at this venue. There is even bounce and carry making it easy for strokemaking. As more games and played, spinners will start finding help from this surface. The weather will be clear with a high of 26 degrees Celsius on the match day in Delhi.

Minimal TurnArun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi will be the venue for the 14th WPL 2024 match between UP Warriroz and Mumbai Indians Women. Though DC Women scored 192 batting first here, we reckon a 175+ score can be a match-winning total on this ground.
While the pitch is still new and has plenty of runs on offer, it’s a better option to bat first and pile on runs to get the upper hand in the match. The batting struggles in both sides will make it a lot more challenging to chase down a competitive score.
There is great potential in both squads and on paper they seem to be equally matched sides. However, considering the current form, MI Women seem to have more positives in the batting department and the variety in the bowling attack allows the skipper to quickly change plans in case things aren’t going as expected. This puts Mumbai Indians women slightly ahead in our match prediction.
