UP-W vs MUM-W - Toss Factor

The square boundaries at the venue are very short and its easy for the batters to clear the ropes with wristy shots. The seamers get little help at the start and spinners need to be tight with the line and length. All in all, its a good batting surface unless the opposition bowlers gets to utilise the moisture content of the strip with the new ball. 

Scenario: If UP Warriorz win the toss

  •  The two games that Warriorz won was by chasing totals and Alyssa Healy would back that. 
  • The overseas players- Alyssa Healy, Grace Harris, Sophie Ecclestone and Chamari Athapaththu are very important picks.
  • Going by the conditions, Kiran Navgire, Deepti Sharma or Anjali Sarvani could add value to the fantasy team. 

Scenario: If Mumbai Indians win the toss

  • The Mumbai Indians may opt to bat first after their unsuccessful chase in the last game.
  • The top five players in the batting order are indispensable picks.
  • Shabnim Ismail and Saika Ishaque are good value picks as per the conditions.


UP-W vs MUM-W - Top Captain and Vice-captain Picks

Scenario: If Mumbai Indians win the match

Nat-Sciver Brunt (MUM-W): The English all-rounder did not have a rosy time with the bat and ball during this edition. However, it does not rule out her ability to win matches with her three-dimensional skillset. She can stare with the new ball as well as bats at No.3.

Hayley Matthews (MUM-W): The Caribbean all-rounder scored a fifty in recent times but is yet to find her consistent rhythm. Matthews is also getting in the groove with her right-arm off spin and with time it should only get better for the Windies skipper.

Scenario: If UP Warriorz win the match

Grace Harris (UP-W): The leading run-getter for the side, Grace Harris is an essential entity for the Warriorz. She has been bowling in the powerplay and bashing the opposition bowlers around the park as well.  Harris is in surreal form and one bad game (last match) does not rule out her match-defining capability.

Sophie Ecclestone (UP-W): The left-arm orthodox spinner may do well in Delhi. There is good turn for the spinners during the middle overs phase and someone like Ecclestone has a very less margin of error. Hence, she is one of the favourites to extract more points. Also, the English spinner can add value with the bat as well. 


UP-W vs MUM-W - High Risk, High Reward Picks

Alyssa Healy (UPW): The Australian captain scored a fifty in the last game but was seen fighting with minimum support from the other end. The wicketkeeper-batter has the attacking intent at the start and this makes her shilly shally.

Amelia Kerr (MUM-W): The Kiwi all-rounder did not fare well at the venue in the last match against Delhi. However, Kerr was one of the best all-rounders in the Bengaluru leg. One can expect the White Fern star to show up with both willow and cork again.


UP-W vs MUM-W Stay Aways 

Humaira Kazi (MUM-W): The Maharashtra-based cricketer is a pure batter but comes very lower down the order. She has failed to gleam in the limited chances she got to bat in the tournament. 

Saima Thakor (UP-W): The bowling all-rounder has not got enough chances to showcase her potential. The UP skipper have many bowling options and therefore Thakor did not get enough opportunity. Also, she bats lower down the order.
