🏏WPL 2024: Match 6: Mumbai Indians W vs UP Warriorz W at Bengaluru on 28/02/2024 at 7:30 PM IST🏏
Alyssa Healy is a bona fide winner, as are all Australian players of her generation and that makes two successive losses in a competitive league an anomaly for the UP Warriorz captain. Her side started the tournament with a last-ball loss against RCB that can be best described as a choke before being completely outplayed by the Delhi Capitals. It's not do-or-die territory just yet but she will know that the Warriorz need to start winning sooner than later to turn things around. Their big overseas stars including Healy herself haven't come to the party so far and against the might of Mumbai Indians, the Warriors will need all departments to click to test the defending champions.
Harmanpreet Kaur's girls have started their title defence in ideal fashion with two wins on the trot. While it took a last-ball miracle from S Sajana to give them the first victory against Delhi Capitals, it was largely one-way traffic for Mumbai Indians against Gujarat Giants. The fact that the reigning champions have won games without bringing their A-game so far is an ominous sign for the other sides in the tournament. Like previous season, Mumbai look a well-balanced squad with nearly all bases covered. They go into this game as overwhelming favourites although Warriorz do have the individual quality to create a stir or two.
