An exciting rematch between the UP Warriorz and the Gujarat Giants will take place in the ongoing Women’s Premier League 2026 in Vadodara on Thursday. Led by Meg Lanning, the Warriorz aim to make amends
for their loss to the Giants earlier in the season Navi Mumbai.
GG, led captained by Ashleigh Gardner, secured a 10-run win in their previous meeting with UPW.
Heading into the clash, the Warriorz are placed third on the points table after a superb turnaround. From a team staring down the barrel after three consecutive losses, the Warriorz have emerged as a dark horse following their pair of victories over defending champions Mumbai Indians.
In stark contrast, the Giants are languishing at the bottom of the pile after facing three successive defeats. Having begun the tournament with two wonderful wins, Gardner & co have since gone down once against MI and twice against the table toppers, Royal Challengers Bengaluru.
Fortunately for the two sides, even MI and the Delhi Capitals have had a similar run and a win in the upcoming contest gives them a chance to move up to 6 points and close out the gap with RCB.
