UP Warriorz (UPW) defeated Mumbai Indians (MI) comfortably by 7 wickets in match 6 of Women's Premier League (WPL) 2024 on Wednesday, February 28, at the M.Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.

Opener Hayley Matthews (55) anchored the innings with a half-century, while a couple of other batters chipped in with mini contributions.
In reply, Kiran Navgire (57) hit a 25-ball half-century and put on a 94-run opening partnership with Alyssa Healy to set up a great platform for the chase. After their departure, Grace Harris (38*) and Deepti Sharma (27*) played cameos to finish the match in 16.3 overs.

UPW skipper Alyssa Healy reflected on their first victory of the season during the post-match presentation, saying:
"Obviously we are happy to get ourselves on the board and that too against a strong team like Mumbai Indians. I am really happy how the girls made a comeback after the disappointing night last time."
On the promotion of Kiran Navgire up the order, Healy added:
"Well, apparently Kiran walked out to the boss last night and said that she wants to open. She has made a strong case of why she should be doing the job for us. Apparently not (on whether Navgire would have opened), but things happen for the good."
Healy concluded by disclosing the team's plans for the celebrations after securing the win:
"We will celebrate with the cake and Sophi Ecclestone is pretty excited about that."
