UP Warriors: (Points: 4, Net Runrate: -1.146, Matches left-1)

The situation of UP Warriors (UPW) is so bad at the moment that they need nothing less than a miracle to remain in the race for the playoffs. Just defeating Delhi Capitals (DC) will not be enough, but UP Warriors will have to defeat them by a huge margin of around 156 runs, so that they can leave behind the net run rate of Mumbai Indians (MI).

Let us tell you that in the history of the tournament, only one team has won a match by a margin of 100 runs. When Mumbai Indians defeated Gujarat Giants by 143 runs in the first match of the 2023 season. The biggest win so far in women’s T20 franchise cricket has been 148 runs, which was registered by Adelaide Strikers against Melbourne Stars in the Women’s Big Bash League 2023-24.

If UP Warriors chase the target in this match then the road will be more difficult for them. Even if the UP team bowls out Delhi Capitals for 64 runs, the lowest score in the history of WPL, then UP will still have to achieve the target in just 1.5 overs, which seems impossible.

Mumbai Indians: (Points: 6, Net Runrate: 0.059

Mumbai Indians have no matches left after their defeat against Gujarat Giants on Friday (January 30). But Mumbai has the best net run rate among the three teams. Mumbai will hope that UP Warriors defeat Delhi Capitals in the last match, but they may not be able to achieve the miraculous victory mentioned above. In such a situation, all three teams will finish tied at six points each, but due to better net run rate, Mumbai will get a place in the eliminator.
