Follow UsThe Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2025 is in Lucknow for the first time ever and the home team has already lost the first game. They would look to bounce back when they play inaugural champions Mumbai Indians on March 6 (Thursday), who are sitting at the third position currently.
The match is almost a do-or-die for Warriorz as a loss here will surely shut down their playoff qualification chances with just two more matches left and them needing at least four points to keep their hopes alive.
Mumbai, on the other hand, would look to secure their spot in the playoffs by getting that fourth win and moving upwards in the points table.

Since UP Warriorz are already in a bad state of form, winning only two of their first six matches, Mumbai, on the other hand, are in third position with three wins and two losses.
Nat Sciver-Brunt has been the best batter between the two teams, aggregating 272 runs in five matches.
Hayley Matthews has been the best bowler between the two sides, picking up seven wickets in five matches.
So far, only one game has been played at the venue, and it was a high-scoring one in the first innings where Beth Mooney scored a century. Thus, we expect a batting-friendly wicket for this game as well.
The temperatures will be pleasant in Lahore tomorrow, ranging between 12 and 28 degrees Celsius. It is expected to be bright and there’s no chance of rain. So expect a full match.
