The match number 6 of the Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2024 will mark the third game for the defending champions, Mumbai Indians Women (MI-W) and they will be up against the weaker looking UP Warriorz (UP-W) team. Both the teams have thus had contrasting fortunes in the tournament. The MI-W are currently placed on the top spot with two wins out of two games whereas on the other hand, the UP- W have lost both of their games so far in the competition.
Harmanpreet Kaur has been in prime form in the WPL 2024 as the Indian skipper has played vital role in the both the games in which MI-W have been victories. Whereas, UP-W skipper Alyssa Healy has struggled both with their captaincy decisions on field as well as her batting performances. Hence, it will be fascinating to see how the UP-W fightback in the competition or it will be MI-W who will continue on with their winning momentum.

Pitch Report
As anticipated, the dew factor is impacting the chase and it is making it challenging for bowlers to maintain a good grip on the ball. This situation is likely to motivate captains to opt for bowling first after winning the toss, aiming to limit the opposition's scoring opportunities. Shreyanka Patil and Sobhana Asha will be optimistic about their prospects, especially following Gujarat's lackluster batting display against Mumbai Indians. In the upcoming clash, Sneh Rana will play a crucial role as a key bowler for the Gujarat team.

Mumbai Indians Women (MI-W): Hayley Matthews, Yastika Bhatia (WK), Natalie Sciver, Harmanpreet Kaur(C), Amelia Kerr, Amanjot Kaur, Sajeevan Sajana, Pooja Vastrakar, Shabnim Ismail, SB Keerthana, Saika Ishaque
