The Women’s Premier League Eliminator match is between Mumbai Indians and UP Warriors. Mumbai Indians lost two consecutive matches after winning their opening five matches but won the last match to reach the Eliminator.
Initially, this team was at the forefront of the race to make it directly to the finals. At the same time, the UP team has not been able to win matches continuously. In the last league match also, this team lost to Delhi. Both teams would like to field a more experienced and balanced team in such a situation.
Mumbai had performed brilliantly at the start of the tournament. The team’s bowlers and top order showed a great game. Because of this, this team won five matches in a row, but in the last match, Mumbai’s top order could not do much. This is the reason why this team has failed to score big. In their last match, too, Mumbai lost six wickets to chase down the target of 126 runs. This team can change its top order in the Eliminator match in such a situation.
Indian players have not been able to do anything special for UP Warriors. Till now, this team has won more matches only based on foreign players.
Apart from Captain Alyssa Healy, Tahlia McGrath and Grace Harris have done wonders with the bat. At the same time, Sophie Ecclestone has done wonders with the ball. This team can also change the partner of Alyssa Healy, and there is a possibility of change in the middle order or bowling. Shweta Sehrawat can open the innings in place of Devika Vaidya.
Possible playing 11 of both the teams
Mumbai Indians – Healy Mathews, Yastika Bhatia (wk), Nat Sciver-Brunt, Harmanpreet Kaur (c), Amelia Kerr, Issy Wong, Amanjot Kaur, Pooja Vastrakar, Humaira Kazi, Jintimani Kalita, Saika Ishaq
UP Warriors – Shweta Sehrawat/Devika Vaidya, Alyssa Healy (Captain/Wicket-keeper), Kiran Navgire, Tahlia McGrath, Grace Harris, Deepti Sharma, Sophie Ecclestone, Simran Sheikh, Parshvi Chopra, Anjali Sarwani, Rajeshwari Gaikwad
