The current champion, Mumbai Indians, had a little tumble in the previous game as they suffered a 7-wicket defeat against UP Warriorz. It was their second defeat of the season, and now, they will be under pressure as the tournament is heading towards the second half. UPW-W have opened their account, and they will be keen to carry it on to another win.
UP Warriorz and Mumbai Indians will face each other for the second time in three days. The upcoming contest will be live at 3 PM IST on January 17 (Saturday) at Dr. DY Patil Sports Academy. Harleen Deol made the difference with the bat as they played a match-winning knock of 64 not out from 39 balls to seal the deal. MI-W had good contributions from Nat Sciver-Brunt and Nicola Carey, but it wasn't enough. They need a strong start from the bat, which has been lacking this season so far.

UPW-W vs MI-W: Pitch Report
The wicket in Dr. DY Patil Stadium has been incredible to bat on. The bounce here has been true, and batters have enjoyed their time here. Bowlers do not have much to bowl with because of the flat deck and shorter boundaries. That is why teams have preferred to bowl first here, because it is difficult to defend a score at this venue.

UPW-W vs MI-W: Top Players
UPW Women: Phoebe Litchfield can be the game-changer in this game. She plays freely and can put the bowler under pressure. She is also in good form with the bat.
MI Women: Nat Sciver-Brunt has been the best player for MI-W in the WPL. In three games this season, she has scored consecutive fifties and also taken wickets with the ball.
UPW-W vs MI-W Today’s Match Prediction:Both teams have their weaknesses. UP Warriorz are dependent on Meg Lanning and Phoebe Litchfield with the bat because those two batters are the ones who can take the game along. But MI-W have 3-4 such batters who not just play but also score quickly.
With the ball, UPW-W have better options, and Indian players are also doing well for them. UPW-W look a little weaker with the bat. MI-W's strong batting unit and decent bowling unit make them favorites going into this game on Saturday.
