GJ-W vs UP-W Match 3 Preview
The Gujarat Giants finished last in the points table in the first two seasons. They would have hoped for a good start to turn the tables around this time. However, their start to the third season has not been the way they would have hoped for. They lost the first game to the defending champions, Royal Challengers Bengaluru, even after posting 200 plus on the board. The Giants will be eager to bounce back and get their campaign back on track.
The UP Warriorz made it to the play-offs in the first editions of the WPL. However, they failed to make it to the summit clash of the tournament on both occasions. The Warriorz will be keen to go one better in this edition, make it to the final and then win their maiden title. To make it a successful campaign, they would be looking for a winning start and hence, this game promises to be an exciting one.
