UP Warriorz will be looking to start their campaign on a winning note when they face Gujarat Giants in the third game of the ongoing Women’s Premier League 2025 (WPL 2025). The game is scheduled to be played at the Kotambi Stadium in Vadodara on Sunday (February 16).
UP Warriorz will be opening their campaign in WPL 2025 with the upcoming game against Gujarat Giants. The Warriorz will be keen to start their campaign on a winning note as they look to bounce back after a disappointing performance last season. The Warriorz managed to win only three of their eight league games and finished at the fourth spot.
On the other hand, Gujarat Giants have already played their first game of the season. They faced defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the first game of WPL 2025 and lost the game by six wickets.
The Giants did well with the bat and scored 201/5 but could not deliver with the ball as the Bengaluru-based outfit chased down the total with more than an over remaining. With the Warriorz and Giants now gearing up for the game between them, here are all the predictions for the match.
