UPW vs MI: Meg Lanning-led Warriorz turn pink for a cause during WPL 2026 against Harmanpreet Kaur's Mumbai; here's why

Meg Lanning's UP Warriorz turned to pink and yellow instead of their traditional violet and yellow against Mumbai Indians during their Women's Premier League (WPL) encounter on Saturday at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai. The change in Warriorz' jersey colour is because the franchise is promoting girl's education, opting WPL as a platform.

“Let’s turn pink in support of girls’ education,” read one of UP Warriorz's social media post. "Today isn’t just about a jersey. It’s about dreams that demand space, voice, and belief. PINK isn’t just a colour today, it’s a cause we wear with pride,” the franchise wrote in another post on X.

In fact, during the coin toss, UP Warriorz captain Meg Lanning handed a banner to her Mumbai Indians counterpart Harmanpreet Kaur that read "her education, our promise".
