Mussoorie Queens Women vs Dehradun Warriors Women Prediction, WUPL 2026 Final

Mussoorie Queens Women vs Dehradun Warriors Women prediction for the WUPL 2026 Final brings together the two best-performing teams from the league stage at the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium in Dehradun. Mussoorie Queens Women arrive unbeaten, having won all three of their league matches, while Dehradun Warriors Women finished second with two victories from three games. The final therefore brings together a Mussoorie side with perfect league-stage momentum and a Dehradun team that has already demonstrated its ability to respond after a heavy defeat.

Mussoorie have been particularly impressive with the ball. Nisha Mishra took four wickets in their eight-wicket victory over Dehradun earlier in the tournament, while captain Nandini Kashyap made an unbeaten 62 during the chase. In their following match against Pithoragarh Hurricanes, Mussoorie defended only 88/9 and restricted Pithoragarh to 65/9, winning by 23 runs.

Dehradun began the tournament with a seven-wicket victory over Pithoragarh Hurricanes, with Minakshi Joshi taking 3/11 and the Warriors chasing 85 with 35 balls remaining. They then lost to Mussoorie before recovering strongly against Bageshwar Aerial, restricting Bageshwar to 98/9 and chasing the target in 18.1 overs. Neelam Bhardwaj’s unbeaten 48 from 39 balls was decisive in that victory.

The earlier meeting between these finalists gives Mussoorie a direct advantage in the current tournament, but a final is a different contest. Dehradun have already shown that they possess a disciplined bowling attack and enough batting depth to recover from pressure.

Match Details

Mussoorie Queens Women Last 3 Matches

*Mussoorie’s chase was completed under a revised DLS target after rain.

Mussoorie are the only unbeaten side entering the final. Their three wins have come in very different ways: a rain-affected chase against Bageshwar, a comfortable chase against Dehradun and a successful defence of a low total against Pithoragarh.

That variety is important. The Queens have shown they can chase, defend and adapt to difficult batting conditions.

Dehradun Warriors Women Last Matches

Dehradun’s two victories have been controlled chases. They defeated Pithoragarh after restricting them to 84/7, then chased 99 against Bageshwar with 11 balls remaining.

Their only defeat came against Mussoorie, when the Queens dismissed them for 123 before reaching 125/2 in 18.3 overs.

Recent Form Comparison

Mussoorie have the stronger overall tournament record and have already beaten Dehradun. However, Dehradun’s two wins demonstrate that their bowling can keep opponents to modest totals, while Neelam Bhardwaj and Preeti Bhandari have shown that the batting unit can absorb pressure.

Mussoorie Queens Women Preview

Mussoorie enter the final with a perfect 3-0 record and the strongest momentum of any team in the competition. Their campaign began with a rain-affected nine-wicket DLS victory over Bageshwar Aerial, followed by an eight-wicket win against Dehradun and a 23-run victory over Pithoragarh.

The most impressive aspect of Mussoorie’s campaign has been their adaptability. Against Bageshwar, they handled a shortened chase successfully. Against Dehradun, their bowlers created the platform for a straightforward chase. Against Pithoragarh, they defended only 88/9 by producing a disciplined bowling performance.

Nisha Mishra has been one of the central figures. Her four-wicket haul against Dehradun restricted the Warriors to 123, and she was named Player of the Match. Her ability to take wickets rather than simply contain the scoring rate gives Mussoorie an important weapon in the final.

Captain Nandini Kashyap has also provided stability at the top. Her unbeaten 62 from 64 balls against Dehradun showed that she can bat through an innings and control the chase rather than relying exclusively on boundary hitting. Dipika Chand supported her with an unbeaten 27 from 22 balls.

Mussoorie’s biggest concern is their batting performance against Pithoragarh. They managed only 88/9, meaning that their batting unit can be restricted when the opposition gets its lengths right. A similar performance in the final would give Dehradun a strong opportunity.

The Queens should therefore aim for a better powerplay while retaining their greatest strength: bowling pressure. Their previous success against Dehradun also gives them a clear tactical reference point.

If Nandini Kashyap anchors the innings and Nisha Mishra again creates early breakthroughs, Mussoorie have the ingredients to control the final.

Dehradun Warriors Women Preview

Dehradun’s route to the final has been less consistent but still effective. They opened the tournament with a seven-wicket victory over Pithoragarh, lost to Mussoorie by eight wickets, and then defeated Bageshwar by four wickets to finish second.

Their opening match demonstrated the strength of the bowling attack. Minakshi Joshi returned 3/11 from four overs, while Vaishali Tulera took 2/16. Pithoragarh were restricted to 84/7, and Dehradun completed the chase with 35 balls remaining.

Minakshi is particularly important because Mussoorie’s batting is built around a few players who can occupy the crease for long periods. Taking early wickets could prevent Nandini Kashyap from settling into another long innings.

The Warriors also have evidence of strong batting under pressure. Against Bageshwar, they were chasing only 99 but lost wickets regularly. Neelam Bhardwaj responded with an unbeaten 48 from 39 balls to guide them to 99/6 in 18.1 overs.

Preeti Bhandari has also been an important run-scorer. She made 59 from 38 balls against Mussoorie, providing the strongest individual batting contribution in that innings even though the team ultimately lost.

The major challenge is their previous encounter with Mussoorie. Dehradun’s 123 was not enough, and the Queens reached the target with ten balls remaining. The Warriors need a better batting plan against Nisha Mishra and the Mussoorie bowling attack.

Captain Sweta Verma will also need to manage the innings carefully. Dehradun’s strongest route is likely to involve keeping wickets in hand and ensuring that the middle order is available for the final phase rather than trying to force the scoring rate too early.

Weather Report

The evening forecast is considerably more settled than the morning conditions, with only a low precipitation risk around the scheduled final window. The temperature should also be lower than during the afternoon matches.

That reduces the immediate rain concern, although the final should still be monitored for any late change because Dehradun can experience rapidly changing weather conditions.

Dew could become relevant later in the evening, potentially making the ball easier to hit during a chase.

Toss Prediction & Strategy

If Mussoorie Queens Women win the toss

Mussoorie could prefer to bowl first if the pitch looks likely to slow later. Their bowling has been their most consistent strength, and defending 88 against Pithoragarh demonstrates confidence in setting a target and applying pressure.

A chase would also allow Nandini Kashyap to control the required rate rather than forcing the batting group to establish a large total.

If Dehradun Warriors Women win the toss

Dehradun could consider bowling first because they have already seen how effective their bowlers can be when restricting opponents. However, if the surface appears best for batting early, setting a target around 130–140 could put pressure on Mussoorie.
