The Women’s Premier League soars into its third matchup, owned by Gujarat Giants and UP Warriorz, on February 16, at 7:30 PM (IST) at Kotambi Stadium, Vadodara. While the Gujarat Giants would be trying to recover from the setback they had recently faced against Royal Challengers Bengaluru, UP Warriorz are set to play the first match of their 2023 season. In the first-ever edition, the Warriorz, for their credit, ended up making it to the eliminator.
For fantasy XI picks, Beth Mooney’s 56 off 42 balls in the opener makes her stand out. Grace Harris, Laura Wolvaardt, Deepti Sharma, Ashleigh Gardner, and Sophie Ecclestone are other very significant names in selecting fantasy XI, as they bring experience, form, and, of course, skills. With both teams eyeing a statement match for themselves, it should promise to be yet another electrifying contest in the Women’s Premier League.

Gujarat Giants vs UP Warriorz Pitch Report
The previous WPL game between RCB and Gujarat Giants, in which both sides scored more than 200 runs, demonstrated how much the pitch at Kotambi Stadium in Vadodara favored hitters. Although it’s a great batting track generally, spinners might find some turn. Since there won’t be any major changes to the pitch conditions, the captain who won the toss may decide to bowl first.
