MI-W vs UPW-W: Pitch Report

The wicket in Navi Mumbai has been a flat deck. This season, the average first-inning score is around 165-175. Apart from early swing for the first few overs, there is not much help for the bowling side. The dew also makes it a little challenging in the second innings. So, it is better to chase here than to bowl first.

MI-W vs UPW-W: Dream11 Prediction – Who Will Win?

UP Warriorz have been struggling this season, having lost three consecutive games. Apart from the first game, they have been pretty average with the bat.

A fragile middle order and not getting a good opening stand have gone against them. On the other hand, the Mumbai Indians have players in good form, and we back MI-W to win this game.
