The Mumbai Indians Women have showcased a decent performance winning three out of five games. They suffered a two-wicket loss to the Delhi Capitals Women in a last-ball thriller, inspite of impeccable contributions from Nat Sciver-Brunt and Harmanpreet Kaur. However, they came back stronger with a five-wicket victory against the Gujarat Giants.

On the other side, the UP Warriorz Women, led by Deepti Sharma, have experienced fluctuations this season, winning only two of six games. They secured a notable win against the Delhi Capitals Women, successfully defending their total despite Jemimah Rodrigues’ valiant 56. However, they faced challenges in other matches, reflecting an inconsistent performance thus far.

As both teams are looking forward to qualifications, it is expected to be a highly-anticipated game between the two WPL franchises.
