GG vs UPW, WPL 2023: Probable XIs, pitch report, weather forecast, and live streaming details
Gujarat Giants (GG) and UP Warriorz (UPW) are all set to lock horns in Match No. 17 of the Women’s Premier League (WPL) on Monday, March 20. The Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai will host the contest.
The Giants, led by Sneh Rana, are placed at the bottom of the table with four points and a net run rate of -2.511, the worst among all teams in the tournament. They have to win their last game to have any chance of advancing to the playoffs.
Not only will they have to beat the Warriorz, but they will also have to do so by a mammoth margin to better their net run rate. They will go into the match after losing to Smriti Mandhana’s Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) by eight wickets. Losing with 27 balls to spare didn’t help them.
The Warriorz, on the other hand, are placed third in the table with six points and a net run rate of -0.117. Alyssa Healy’s women will be high on confidence after beating Harmanpreet Kaur’s Mumbai Indians by five wickets, having restricted their opponents to 127.
The Warriorz only need to win their next game to make their way through to the playoffs. If the Warriorz win, RCB and the Giants will be knocked out of the competition.
