UPW vs MI Match Prediction: Who Will Win Match 16? WPL 2025

Mumbai Indians and UP Warriorz will be locking horns against each other in the 16th game of the ongoing Women's Premier League 2025 (WPL) 2025. The game is scheduled to be played on Thursday (March 6) at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow.

With only 2 wins from 6 games, UP Warriorz are in danger of missing out on the playoffs once again. With only two more games remaining for them in the league stage, they cannot afford to lose any more game. Another loss will very much dump them out of the tournament.

On the other hand, Mumbai Indians are very much in contention for the playoffs. With 3 wins from 5 games, they are currently at the third spot in the points table.

A win in the upcoming game against UP Warriorz will all but seal their spot in the playoffs. So ahead of the crucial UPW vs MI game, we are taking a look at all the major predictions for the game.

Pitch Report & Conditions

Unlike most of the pitches in India, the pitch at the Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow favours the bowlers more. Slow bowlers and spinners have maintained an upper hand at the venue in recent times. The surface is usually on the slower side and batsmen find it tough to score at a good pace.

In the only game played at the venue so far, Gujarat Giants scored 186/5. However, UP Warriorz could manage only 107 runs while chasing the big total. The upcoming UPW vs MI game is also unlikely to see too much fireworks.

Weather Report

There is no forecast of rain in Lucknow on the match day. So the upcoming match is unlikely to face any interruption. The temperature will be hovering between 17-22 degree Celsius during the match.
