WPL 2026: Mumbai Indians and UP Warriorz Knocked Out as League Stage Ends!

Unexpected developments marked the conclusion of the league stage in the Women's Premier League 2026 season, as defending champions Mumbai Indians and strong contenders UP Warriorz were eliminated from the playoff race. Their exit was confirmed after Delhi Capitals defeated UP Warriorz in a crucial match on Sunday night, bringing an end to the campaigns of both teams.

Mumbai Indians, led by Harmanpreet Kaur, endured a disappointing season marked by inconsistency. The team managed just three wins from eight matches and finished fourth on the points table. Batting collapses at crucial moments and an underperforming bowling unit proved costly. UP Warriorz, meanwhile, showed early promise with impressive wins but faltered badly in the second half of the tournament. Their must-win encounter against Delhi saw them restricted to only 122 runs, resulting in a five-wicket defeat and a fifth-place finish, ending their WPL 2026 journey.
