Who is playing
Gujarat Giants vs Up Warriorz
Kotambi Stadium, Vadodara, February 16, 2025, 7.30pm Ist
What to expect: teams with inexperienced Indians
Decepti Sharma’s Up Warriorz, on the other hand, will open his campaign on Sunday and enter with specific plans to exploit the giant weaknesses. But Warriorz also has a problem similar to giants? Leaving aside, the rest of the Indian players on the side have no experience.
Team News and probably XIS: Athathtu will open for UPW?
In the absence of Alyssa Healy, Chamari Athapaththu is expected to play only four games last season, be it with Vrinda Dineh. They have Alana King, who has recently been in the ball recently, in the mixture, but Sophie Ecclestone, which has been excellent for Warriorz in the last two seasons, will probably start before King.
UP Warriorz (Probable): 1 Chamari Athapaththu, 2 Vrinda Dineh, 3 Kiran Navirare, 4 Grace Harris, 5 Tahlia McGrath, 6 Decepti Sharma (CAPT), 7 Uma Chetry (WK), 8 Sophie Ecclestone, 9 Anjali Sarvani/Kranti Goud, 10 Saima Thakor, 11 rateshwari gayakwad/gouher sultana
The giants delivered on Friday from the Western Indies Deandra Dottin a single cap. The tastes of Legspinner Priya Mishra, Batter Simran Shaikh and the sailor Sayali Satghare also debut in the WPL 2025 starter. It is unlikely that the giants make changes and will want to give the youngest players a longer race.
Gujarat giants (Probable): 1 Laura Wolvaardt, 2 Beth Mooney (WK), 3 Dayalan Hemalatha, 4 Ashleight Gardner (Capt), 5 Deandra Dottin, 6 Harleen Deol, 7 Simran Shaikh, 8 Tanuja Kanwar, 9 Sayali Satghare, 10 Priyahra 11 Kashvee Gautam
