Mumbai Indians and UP Warriorz will play 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.

Mumbai Indians will be looking to get back to winning ways after suffering a loss in their last outing. The inaugural WPL winners' three-match winning streak came to an end with a defeat against Delhi Capitals in their last outing. A win over UP Warriorz will all but secure a place in the playoffs for Mumbai Indians.

UP Warriorz also suffered a defeat in their last game. They suffered a crushing 81-run loss against Gujarat Giants and need to win the upcoming game at any cost to keep the slim chances of qualifying for the playoffs alive.

So ahead of the huge clash between UP Warriorz and Mumbai Indians, we are taking a look at the weather and pitch report.

UPW vs MI Pitch report:

The Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow will be hosting the upcoming game between UP Warriorz and Mumbai Indians. The venue is not really known for producing high-scoring games and the upcoming UPW vs MI game is also unlikely to be a run-fest.

The surface at the stadium is usually on the slower side, where bowlers, especially slower bowlers and spinners, dominate the proceedings. The venue has hosted just one game in the ongoing tournament so far. In that game, UP Warriorz could score only 105 runs while chasing 187 against Gujarat Giants.

The venue has also hosted three Women's T20Is with all the games taking place in 2021. India and South Africa had played three T20Is against each other at that time. In that series, only two of the six innings saw a total of more than 150 while no team could reach the 160-run mark.

In the last men's T20I played at the venue, New Zealand could score only 99/8. India chased down the modest total but in 19.5 overs and by losing 4 wickets.

Conclusion:

The upcoming UPW vs MI game could turn out to be a low-scoring thriller. With so much at stake in the game, both teams will be desperate to emerge victorious.
