The Gujarat Giants franchise is languishing at the bottom of the WPL 2025 points table.

Holding a dismal NRR of -0.450, the Giants need to win its remaining games and boost up their run rate in a bid to remain in contention for the playoffs.
Ekana Cricket Stadium Pitch Report: How Will The Surface Behave?
The Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow is yet to host a single WPL game to date. However, the venue has hosted three T20I matches since its inception. The surface at the Ekana Stadium seems to be a difficult one for batters, as the average first innings total here after three Women’s T20Is has amounted to just 133. While spinners have been effective here during the middle overs, fast bowlers have also managed to make an impact with the new ball.
