A direct qualification for Sunday’s Women’s Premier League (WPL) final would have been on Mumbai Indians’ (MI) wish list, but they will have to face up to the challenge of keeping UP Warriorz (UPW) away from Sunday’s summit clash, for which Delhi Capitals (DC) have already qualified.

In today’s Eliminator at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai, MI will be hoping for match-winning performances from star batter and captain Harmanpreet Kaur (230 runs at a strike rate of 149.35), leg-spinner Amelia Kerr (13 wickets at an economy rate of 6.54) and left-arm spinner Saika Ishaque (13 wickets at an economy rate of 6.81).
