Dr DY Patil Sports Academy Pitch Report
Dr DY Patil Sports Academy, Navi Mumbai
True bounce, pace on the ball, and a fast outfield encourage stroke play, with 170–180 being a strong but chaseable total. Early overs may offer brief help for pacers, while spinners must rely on discipline rather than assistance.
Weather Report
The forecast suggests stable conditions, with clear skies ensuring a full and uninterrupted contest. Temperatures will hover around 28°C during the early stages and gradually cool to 19–21°C later. Dew is still a significant factor at Navi Mumbai, especially in the second innings, making ball control difficult and reinforcing the advantage of chasing.

Mumbai Indians Women vs UP Warriorz Women Team Preview & Squads
Mumbai Indians Women
Harmanpreet Kaur’s leadership remains central to MI W’s identity. Even when results wobble, her calm decision-making and situational awareness keep the side competitive. The captain’s role in managing bowling changes and batting tempo becomes crucial on a surface that rarely forgives hesitation.
MI W’s batting structure is anchored by Nat Sciver-Brunt, whose all-phase dominance allows others to play freely around her. Support from Amanjot Kaur and the presence of power-hitters provide flexibility, though the unit will want better conversion of starts after the previous defeat against UPW W.
Bowling-wise, MI W possesses variety and experience. Shabnim Ismail’s pace offers early breakthroughs, while Amelia Kerr’s control in the middle overs is key to slowing scoring rates. The all-round depth ensures MI W can adapt quickly if plans A or B fail.
