Mumbai Indians Women (MI-W) will face the tenacious UP Warriorz (UP-W) in the WPL 2023 (WPL) Eliminator battle on Friday, March 24 at Navi Mumbai’s Dr. DY Patil Sports Academy. Mumbai Indians beat Royal Challengers Bangalore in their final group-stage encounter to take over first place in the league table. However, Delhi Capitals’ dominant victory over UP Warriorz in the final group-stage game propelled them (MI) to second place with a lower NRR than the Capitals.UP Warriorz blew an opportunity to win three straight league games after a poor performance against the Delhi team. Tahlia McGrath hit another brilliant fifty to help the Warriorz achieve 138/6 while batting first, but it was insufficient against the Capitals, who chased the target down with 13 balls left. Warriorz made three changes to their winning squad, which proved to be a tactical gamble.
