In the eighth match of the ongoing Women’s Premier League, UP Warriorz will be squaring off against Gujarat Giants on Friday at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. UP Warriorz have appeared to have picked up the momentum after their first victory in the tournament in their last match against Mumbai Indians.

Victory has been out of reach for them as they desperately look for a win to gather the momentum in the tournament. Gujarat Giants played their last game against Royal Challengers Bangalore Women which they lost by 8 wickets.
Heading into this game, Gujarat Giants would expect their star players Beth Mooney, Harleen Deol and Phoebe Litchfield to come forward with huge performances to help the team win their first game.
