Mumbai Indians Women team will be up against UP Warriorz in the Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2023 Eliminator match at the DY Patil Stadium in Mumbai on Friday (March 24). The winner of the contest will take on Delhi Capitals Women team in Sunday (March 26) night’s WPL 2023 final.
Harmanpreet Kaur’s MI looked favourite to make the finals directly after starting the tournament with five successive wins but a couple losses in their last three matches meant that Delhi Capitals pipped them for the final berth. MI now need to play an extra game – the Eliminator against UP Warriorz – which is a ‘do-or-die’ clash.
The UP Warriorz have needed to battle hard to reach the WPL 2023 Playoff stage. Alyssa Healy’s side won their last two matches to pip Royal Challengers Bangalore Women team and Gujarat Giants to grab the Eliminator place. In last game between these two sides, the Warriorz stunned Mumbai Indians by five wickets to hand them their first loss the WPL 2023. Healy will be looking to repeat the same feat and book a place in the final against fellow Australian Meg Lanning.
