The third match of Women’s Premier League 2025 is set to take place between Gujarat Giants and UP Warriors, who will be looking to make a comeback after Gujarat’s defeat against Royal Challengers Bangalore in the first match of the season. Although Gujarat put up a tough fight, they ultimately fell short. As for their playing XI, it’s likely that they won’t make any changes. Beth Mooney could play a crucial role for the team – will she be able to make a difference this time around?
Gujarat scored an impressive 201 runs against RCB, but unfortunately, it wasn’t enough to secure a win. Ashley Gardner was in top form, scoring an unbeaten 79 runs, while Mooney chipped in with a half-century. These two players will be ones to watch out for in the upcoming match against UP Warriors Women’s. But can they handle the pressure from UP? The match is scheduled to take place on Sunday evening, and it’s going to be interesting to see how these two teams fare against each other.
Team Lineups
When it comes to UP Warriors Women’s playing XI, they might consider giving Chamari Attapattu and Vrinda Dinesh a chance. Wicketkeeper Batter Uma Chhetri and Sophie Ecclestone could also take the field against Gujarat. A lot will be riding on captain Deepti Sharma’s performance – can she lead her team to victory? As for the predicted lineup, it looks like this: Chamari Attapattu, Vrinda Dinesh, Kiran Navgire, Grace Harris, Tahila McGraft, Deepti Sharma (Captain), Uma Chhetri (wicketkeeper), Sophie Ecclestone, Anjali Sarwani/Kranti Gaur, Cammy Smith Thakur, Rajeshwari Gayakwad/Gauhar Sultana.

It’s going to be a tough competition between these two teams – who will come out on top?
Current Standings
