The UP Warriorz registered a significant 22-run victory over the Mumbai Indians in a Women's Premier League (WPL) 2026 match held on Saturday, January 17, 2026. This win marked the UP Warriorz's second consecutive triumph over the defending champions in the ongoing season, effectively completing a 'double' against them. The match, which took place at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai, saw UP Warriorz, after being sent in to bat, post a formidable total of 187 for 8. Their innings was anchored by outstanding half-centuries from Australian stalwarts Meg Lanning, who scored 70 runs, and Phoebe Litchfield, contributing 61 runs. The duo forged a crucial 119-run partnership, making Mumbai's bowling attack appear ordinary. In response, Mumbai Indians struggled with their chase. Despite a spirited 83-run counter-attack partnership between Amanjot Kaur and Amelia Kerr, the target proved too challenging. Amanjot Kaur scored a quickfire 41 runs off 24 balls, while Amelia Kerr contributed a breezy 49 runs off 28 balls, showcasing their resilience. However, earlier dismissals of top batters like Hayley Matthews, Sajeevan Sajana, Nat Sciver-Brunt, and Nicola Carey at crucial junctures hampered their progress. This victory is a crucial one for UP Warriorz, putting their season back on track, especially after securing their first win against the same opponents just two days prior. The WPL 2026 season is currently underway, having commenced on January 9 and scheduled to conclude on February 5, 2026, featuring five teams competing across Mumbai and Vadodara.
