The Mumbai Indians Women will face UP Warriorz Women in the 16th match of WPL 2025 on March 6 at 7:30 PM IST at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow.
MI-W, with three wins from five matches and a net run rate of 0.166, aim to solidify their playoff chances while bouncing back from a recent loss to DCW.
Meanwhile, UPW have struggled with just two wins in six games and a poor net run rate of -0.786. Their inconsistent performances make this match a crucial opportunity to improve their batting and bowling.
As the tournament reaches its midway point, both teams will be eager to secure a vital win in this high-stakes encounter.
Ekana Cricket Stadium Pitch Report
The pitch at Ekana Cricket Stadium generally favors spinners, providing a slow and low surface that helps them generate significant turn. Batters may struggle to play their shots fluently on this track.
So far, only one WPL match has been played at this venue, where GGW posted a high score of 186, while UPW managed just 105 in the second innings. This suggests that batting becomes more challenging as the game progresses.
As a result, the captain winning the toss is likely to opt for batting first to take advantage of better conditions early on.
