A big win batting first, putting up a 200+ total and then defending it comfortably. A tight 190+ chase paced to perfection and done right. Our girls have brought home some early momentum. Kaptaan Kaur in red hot form (or rather Orange hot form), Amanjot stepping up with useful contributions, Nicola already becoming a household name with her all-round show in the first three games, Hayley Matthews causing instant impact after coming  into the side, Shabnim being pacy, accurate and misery as ever, we have been checking all the right boxes.

This is the first of back to back games against the UP Warriorz, a side still searching for their first points on the board. In fact they are coming off a last ball heartbreak. This is set to be a battle between MI extending their dominance and jump up to top the points table and UPW ending their desperation.

What: Mumbai Indians vs UP Warriorz

When: January 15, 2026 | 7:30pm IST

Where: DY Patil Sports Academy, Navi Mumbai

What to expect: In this last one week, we’ve seen some massive first innings scores, some big totals being chased down, some tense low-scoring thrillers. What’s certain though, is dew setting in, making it a ground to chase on and therefore and important toss to win. But we’ve aced this pitch both while chasing and defending in the last two games. Let’s switch on the famed Mumbai Indians RUTHLESS mode!
