Tahlia McGrath was the other batter who put some big runs on the board. She scored 50 runs while she faced 37 balls and smashed nine boundaries. Kiran Navgire scored 17 runs while no other batter from their side could manage to enter into the double figure. Devika Vaidya, Simran Shaikh, and Deepti Sharma failed to give the best performance in the previous match.

The bowling unit of UP Warriorz Women is strong and experienced and they totally failed to give the best performance in the previous match. They could not defend the target of 160 runs and leaked this target in just 17.3 overs.

The toss is going to play important in the result of each and every match of WPL T20. According to the toss prediction, the team who will win the toss will elect to bat first as chasing had been difficult in most matches of WPL.

The 13th 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 180 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.
