Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], February 26 (ANI): Mumbai Indians captain Harmanpreet Kaur won the toss and opted to bowl against UP Warriorz on Wednesday in the Women's Premier League (WPL) at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium.

The winner of the enticing fixture between UP Warriorz and Mumbai Indians will go to the top of the table. MI began its campaign with a loss but bounced back to clinch back-to-back wins. UP Warriorz lost their first two matches but went on to win two games on the trot.
