Toss Mumbai Indians opted to bowl against UP Warriorz

The captain of Mumbai Indians, Harmanpreet Kaur, won the toss and chose to chase against UP Warriorz in Bengaluru.

She mentioned that the fast bowlers might receive some assistance early on and expressed the desire for them to “capitalize” on the conditions. Mumbai made one alteration to the lineup that triumphed over Royal Challengers Bengaluru, with Jintimani Kalita replacing Parunika Sasodia to introduce an extra pace-bowling option. Kalita participated in ten matches for Mumbai in the previous WPL but bowled in only four games, claiming one wicket at an economy rate of 7.40.
Warriorz captain Deepti Sharma also preferred to bowl first. They kept the same XI that secured a thrilling Super Over victory against RCB. Chamari Athapaththu continued to sit on the bench.
Both teams have secured two wins each so far, although Mumbai has played one match fewer than the Warriorz, who have competed in four.

Mumbai Indians: 1 Hayley Matthews, 2 Yastika Bhatia (wk), 3 Nat Sciver-Brunt, 4 Harmanpreet Kaur (capt), 5 Amelia Kerr, 6 Amanjot Kaur, 7 S Sajana, 8 G Kamalini, 9 Sanskriti Gupta, 10 Shabnim Ismail, 11 Jintimani Kalita

UP Warriorz: 1 Kiran Navgire, 2 Vrinda Dinesh, 3 Deepti Sharma (capt), 4 Tahlia McGrath, 5 Shweta Sehrawat, 6 Grace Harris, 7 Uma Chetry (wk), 8 Chinelle Henry, 9 Sophie Ecclestone, 10 Saima Thakor, 11 Kranti Goud
