Gujarat Giants and UP Warriorz lock horns in the third match of the Women's Premier League (WPL) 2025. The Ashleigh Gardner-led side will be keen on bouncing back after losing the opening match of WPL 2025 against defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru in what was an absolute run-fest at the Baroda Cricket Association (BCA) Stadium, also known as Kotambi Stadium. Captain Ash Gardner was at her absolute best, smashing an unbeaten 79 off just 37 deliveries, a knock that included three fours and eight sixes to propel her side to 201/5. However, sloppy fielding and dropped catches cost Gujarat Giants big time as they failed to defend the target, with Richa Ghosh, Ellyse Perry and Kanika Ahuja taking the title holders past the finish line.

UP Warriorz will be led by Deepti Sharma in WPL 2025 after Alyssa Healy opted out of the season due to her knee injury. Losing the star Australian wicketkeeper-batter is indeed a big blow for UP Warriorz but they have some big names in the squad who can turn around a game any day. UP Warriorz will look to get off to a winning start and for that, the likes of Chamari Athapaththu, Grace Harris, Tahlia McGrath and captain Deepti Sharma have to fire. UP Warriorz had missed out on a spot in the WPL playoffs last season after finishing fourth and they will look to better that performance and go all the way this time around.
