UP Warriorz Women is gearing up to face the Gujarat Giants Women in their sixth match of the Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2026 at Kotambi Stadium in Vadodara. While the UP Warriorz Women will look for their third consecutive victory, the Giants will look to break their three-match winless streak.
Gujarat Giants Women
The Gujarat Giants Women had a great start to their new season, but they have started to fumble in the middle of the tournament. The Women in Orange are on a three-match losing streak currently, having collected just four points in their five matches and sitting at the bottom of the table. They lost their last league game against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru Women by 31 runs. They had picked an impressive victory over the Warriorz Women earlier in Navi Mumbai; they will look to repeat a similar performance in Vadodara as well.
UP Warriorz Women
After three back-to-back disappointing defeats, the UP Warriorz Women have completely turned around with two consecutive victories. They moved to the third on the points table, with the same points as the Mumbai Indians Women, but sitting a spot below due to the difference in their net run rate. They are coming into this game after thrashing MI Women by 22 runs. While batting first, they scored 187 for 8 in their 20 overs, thanks to the brilliant half-centuries from Meg Lanning and Phoebe Litchfield. With a brilliant bowling display from their bowlers, the UPW Women restricted their opponents to just 165 in their second innings. Shikha Pandey took two crucial wickets to her name.
