Gujarat Giants (GG-W) and UP Warriorz (UP-W) are set to face off in Match 3 of the Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2025. The exciting clash will take place on Sunday, February 16, at Kotambi Stadium in Vadodara.

Giants have already played their opening game but suffered a 6-wicket loss against RCB. Their batting looked strong, but poor bowling and sloppy fielding cost them the match. As they prepare to take on UP Warriorz, they will be desperate to avoid repeating the same mistakes and secure their first win.

For UP Warriorz, this will be their first game of the season. Last year, they had an underwhelming campaign, finishing fourth with just three wins in eight matches. However, they have stuck with most of their squad from last season, with spin bowling as their biggest strength. Deepti Sharma, Laura Wolvaardt, and Sophie Ecclestone will be key players.

With the bat, UP Warriorz will miss their regular captain Alyssa Healy, as Deepti Sharma takes over the leadership role. Their batting lineup features Tahlia McGrath, Chamari Athapaththu, and Grace Harris, who will aim to turn things around this season.

Before the thrilling clash, let’s take a look at how these two teams have performed against each other in past WPL encounters.
