WPL 2025, GJW vs UPW Dream11 Team Suggestion, Fantasy Cricket Tips, Pitch Report

In the Women's Premier League (WPL 2025) match numbe 3, Gujarat Giants, led by Ashleigh Gardner, will take on Deepti Sharma's UP Warriorz at Vadodara stadium. Both teams aim for a breakthrough as neither has reached the finals yet. The Warriorz made it to the playoffs in the first edition, while the Giants have consistently finished last.

In their opening match, the Giants showcased strong batting by setting a target of 202 runs against Royal Challengers Bengaluru. However, their bowling was lacking, with six bowlers unable to restrict the opposition. Richa Ghosh capitalised on an early drop and scored 64 off 26 balls, turning the game around.

Key Players and Performance

Tanuja Kanwar's missed catch of Ellyse Perry proved costly as Perry went on to score 57 from 34 balls, aiding Bangalore's successful chase. Earlier, Beth Mooney and Gardner had powered the Giants to a total of 201/5 with their half-centuries on a fresh Vadodara pitch.

The Warriorz will be led by Deepti Sharma this season due to Alyssa Healy's absence because of injuries. The team hopes for a strong start under new leadership. The Giants need their bowlers to support their batters better and improve fielding after their initial loss.
