Women's Premier League 2026: MI vs UPW playing 11, live time, streaming

The Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2026 season has started to pick up pace as the defending champions Mumbai Indians (MI) are set to take on struggling UP Warriorz (UPW) in match number eight of the season today at the Dr DY Patil Cricket Stadium in Navi Mumbai tonight. UP skipper Meg Lanning won the toss and decided to bowl first on the night  MI bring in Nat Sciver-Brunt again but Hayley Matthews misses out from this clash.

 

Harmanpreet Kaur-led Mumbai Indians started their season with a close loss to Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) but have since secured dominant wins over Delhi Capitals (DC) and Gujarat Giants (GG) to put themselves at the top of the points table, making them favourites against the UPW side.

 

 

However, despite their form, MI will have their task cut out when they face UPW as they will be up against skipper Meg Lanning, who over the last three seasons has managed to keep the upper hand over MI in the group stages. But will Lanning and her side finally get their WPL 2026 campaign on track against MI? Only time will tell.
