The Mumbai Indians are aiming to secure their third consecutive victory in the Women's Premier League (WPL) 2024 as they face off against the UP Warriorz at the Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.

In contrast, the UP Warriorz have suffered defeats in both of their matches so far.

The Warriorz narrowly lost to the Royal Challengers Bangalore Women by a mere 2 runs in their WPL 2024 opener at the same venue last week.

Their hopes were further dashed when they were convincingly defeated by the Delhi Capitals (DC) in matchday 4 of the prestigious T20 tournament.

MIW vs UPW Live Score: UP Warriorz opt to bowl

Alyssa Healy - We'll bowl first. We got pretty close in the first game, but were outclassed in the second game. One change for us. It's always some extra spice, but this is WPL and it's Indian conditions (on the possible AUS-ENG rivalry with Nat Sciver-Brunt)

Nat Sciver-Brunt - Harman has got a niggle, too early in the competition and we wanted to rest her. Shabmin Ismail has a niggle and she misses out as well. Harman has led us well, I've picked up a bit from her. Lots of chants for RCB, but we've done well to silence the crowd as well.
