Gujarat Giants will look to bounce back when they face UP Warriorz in their next game of the ongoing Women's Premier League 2025 (WPL 2025). The upcoming game will be the third game of WPL 2025 and is scheduled to be played at the Kotambi Stadium in Vadodara on Sunday (February 16).
Gujarat Giants' campaign in WPL 2025 started with a six-wicket loss against defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru. Half-centuries from captain Ashleigh Gardner and opener Beth Mooney powered Gujarat Giants to 201/5.
However, the Gujarat-based outfit could not defend the big total. Royal Challengers Bengaluru chased down the total with an over to spare to start their campaign on a winning note. Richa Ghosh starred with the bat, smashing an unbeaten 64 off just 27 balls while Ellyse Perry also played a crucial knock of 57 runs.
Unlike Gujarat Giants, UP Warriorz are yet to play a game this season and the upcoming game will be their season-opener. UP Warriorz finished in the second last position in the points table last year and will be eyeing a better performance in WPL 2025.
So, as UP Warriorz and Gujarat Giants get ready for the upcoming game, we are taking a look at the weather and pitch report.
