Mumbai: The first Women’s Premier League Twenty20 cricket reaches its climax. With only 4 matches left in the league, it is a tough fight to be in the top three. None of the 5 teams have been eliminated yet. The first place in the league will go directly to the finals. They will face the winner of the play-off between the second and third place in the final. Mumbai Indians and Delhi Capitals, who are currently in the top 2, are sure to reach the top three. UP Warriors, Royal Challengers Bangalore and Gujarat Giants will be competing for the 3rd position to qualify for the playoffs. UP has 6 points with 2 matches left. Bangalore and Gujarat have 4 points each with only one match remaining. The play-off match is on 24th. The final is on 26th at 7.30 pm.

Win in UP!

UP Warriors are most likely to be the 3rd team to qualify for the playoffs. If they win one of the remaining 2 matches, UP can play in the playoffs. UP’s matches are against Gujarat today and Delhi tomorrow. UP may be able to play in the playoffs even if they lose both of these by a small margin.

Big win for Bangalore

Bangalore’s last league match is against Mumbai tomorrow. Along with winning this one, UP needs to lose the next 2 matches. If this happens, Bangalore, UP and Gujarat teams will get 6 points each. Bangalore need a big win against Mumbai to overtake UP who are top in run rate. After losing the first 5 matches, Bangalore won the last 2 matches by a landslide.

From the UP Mumbai match

Hard for Gujarat!

Gujarat Giants are at the bottom of the points table with a run rate of minus 2.5. We should get a big win against UP today. Along with that, Delhi Capitals should defeat UP by a huge margin in the next game. Bangalore must also lose to Mumbai. Only if these three things happen, Gujarat can dream of qualifying for the playoffs.

Who is the first?

The battle for the top spot also got stronger after UP beat the unbeaten Mumbai Indians last Saturday. A win against Delhi today will give Mumbai the top spot. But if Delhi wins, both the teams will get 10 points each. The result of tomorrow’s Mumbai-Bangalore and Delhi-UP matches will decide the top runners. Mumbai’s run rate is 2.670. 1.431 for Delhi.
