UP Warriorz will battle it out with Gujarat Giants (GG) in match 15 of the ongoing Women's Premier League (WPL). It is the first time that UP will get to play a home match at the iconic Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Stadium. UP, who are currently placed third on the points table, will be hoping to make a bright start in front of their home fans. Meanwhile, GG, who are placed at the bottom of the points table, will be hoping to seek consistency in the second half of the WPL 2025 season.
GG will be on the verge of elimination if they lose this match to UPW. The Ash Gardner-led side have played five games, managing to win just two games. However, the last of those victories was a thumping one by six wickets. GG have some momentum, but they need to fire collectively with bat and ball going ahead. For UPW, the task will be to solidify the position at the top by stringing in victories in the Lucknow leg of WPL.
UP vs GG Pitch Report Ekana Stadium, Lucknow
The match will be played at Ekana Stadium in Lucknow. Usually, the pitch here is pretty helpful for spinners as is evidenced during IPL matches in Lucknow. Even a target of 150 in Lucknow sometimes feels like 200 due to its slow nature. However, a fresh pitch will be used for the first-ever WPL game between UP vs GG in Lucknow. One does not know how the fresh surface will behave.
