The 7th Match of the Women’s Premier League is going to be held at the Dr. DY Patil Sports Academy, Navi Mumbai. We had observed in the previous matches played here that the pitch here at this venue is good for batting. The track is slower than the others we have seen and helps the spinners quite a bit. We are hoping that the surface is bound to get slower and be a bit more difficult for batting in this match. A score of 170 is going to be tough to chase.

The weather forecast for Mumbai is not good for this cricket match. There are some chances of rain in the region but we are hopeful that we will have a full match to enjoy.
