Gujarat Giants Women vs UP Warriorz Women Match Details
Date: Sunday, February 16, 2025
Venue: Kotambi Stadium, Vadodara
Time: 7:30 PM IST | 2:00 PM GMT | 7:00 PM PST
Match Preview
UP Warriorz have suffered a setback ahead of the tournament with Alyssa Healy ruled out, and Deepti Sharma set to lead the side. West Indies all-rounder Chinelle Henry has been named as Healy’s replacement. UP Warriorz have had mixed results in the previous two editions, with their best finish being third. This season, they have made key additions and will be looking for a stronger campaign.
On the other hand, Gujarat Giants have continued their trend of opening the WPL with a defeat, losing to Royal Challengers Bengaluru in their first match. Despite scoring 200 runs in the first innings, thanks to a stunning 79* by Ashleigh Gardner, their poor bowling and fielding let them down. Dropped catches, including one of Richa Ghosh on 0, proved costly as she went on to score 67 runs. Gujarat will be eager to bounce back with a better performance in their second match.
