Mumbai Indians vs UP Warriorz Live score updates: Harmanpreet Kaur-led Mumbai Indians kicked off their title defence in an ideal manner, securing two consecutive victories. The first win against Delhi Capitals was a nail-biter, with S Sajana's last-ball heroics providing the team with a thrilling triumph. In contrast, the match against Gujarat Giants witnessed Mumbai Indians dominating proceedings, with the outcome largely being one-way traffic in their favor. UP Warriorz side started the tournament with a last-ball loss against RCB that can be best described as a choke before being completely outplayed by the Delhi Capitals. It's not do-or-die territory just yet but the Warriorz need to start winning sooner than later to turn things around. Defending champions Mumbai Indians continue their winning streak with everything functioning seamlessly, there seems to be no compelling reason to alter the successful combination. The team is likely to maintain its current lineup for the upcoming game, unless unforeseen last-minute injuries necessitate any changes. After facing two consecutive losses at the beginning of the season, the Warriorz find themselves in a position where strategic changes may be necessary. The batting performance has been lackluster, prompting considerations for potential alterations. Chamari Athapaththu, with her dynamic skills, might finally be on the verge of making her WPL debut. It's not about being reckless, need to be smart with the decision making.
