MI vs UPW: Key player battles

Sophie Ecclestone vs Harmanpreet Kaur

This matchup carries extra intensity from their often-heated exchange in the WPL arena. Sophie Ecclestone's world-class left-arm spin often dominates the middle overs against Harman's explosive batting. Harmanpreet Kaur has bagged 77 runs from 102 deliveries from Ecclestone while getting dismissed thrice.

Amelia Kerr vs Phoebe Litchfield

Leg-spin variations and deceptive deliveries from Amelia Kerr against the elegant, in-form left-handed batting of Phoebe Litchfield might decide the fate of the match in the very beginning. In T20 leagues, Litchfield has managed 161 runs from 133 deliveries from Kerr while getting dismissed 8 times.

Deepti Sharma vs Hayley Matthews

A classic all-rounder duel between Deepti Sharma's accurate off-spin and lower-order resilience against Hayley Matthews' aggressive opening batting will be a treat to watch. Matthews has bagged 128 runs in T20s against Deepti from 96 balls while getting dismissed twice.

Mumbai Indians vs UP Warriorz toss prediction

The DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai has produced moderate to high-scoring matches during the WPL 2026 season, with batters showing aggressive intent and totals even crossing the 200-run mark. The surface has clearly favoured teams bowling first, as conditions tend to change later in the game. 

With dew playing a significant role and past results at this venue in mind, captains winning the toss are likely to choose to bowl first to fully utilise the pitch in the opening half.

Mumbai Indians vs UP Warriorz Match Winner Prediction: Who Will Win WPL 2026 Match 10?

With both teams struggling for consistency, neither side goes into the contest as an outright favourite. However, Mumbai Indians Women hold a clear edge in the head-to-head record, having won five of their eight matches against UP Warriorz.

With match-winners like Amelia Kerr, Nat Sciver-Brunt, and Harmanpreet Kaur, Mumbai look stronger on paper, although UP Warriorz possess quality and experience in the form of Sophie Ecclestone and Deepti Sharma.

That said, considering the past record and overall balance of the sides, Mumbai Indians Women appear more likely to come out on top against UP Warriorz.
