The 2024 season of the Women’s Premier League is well and truly underway, and we have already witnessed a few nail-biting encounters. Now, it’s time to turn the attention towards Match No.8 of WPL 2024, which will be played between the fourth and fifth-placed teams in UP Warriorz Women and Gujarat Giants Women at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. The match between the two teams who find themselves at the bottom of the table will take place on Friday, March 1. UP Warriorz Women have played three games so far, while their opponents have played just two games in WPL 2024.
UP Warriorz head into this game on the back of a convincing seven-wicket win over defending champions Mumbai Indians Women. Chasing a stiff target of 162, the UPW-W batting line-up made light work of the chase by sparing 21 balls, thanks to a breezy 57-run knock from Kiran Navgire and useful cameos from captain Alyssa Healy, Grace Harris and Deepti Sharma. The win was their first one this season, having lost their opening two games.
On the other hand, it has been a terrible start to the season for Gujarat Giants, who have lost their two opening fixtures. They were dealt a huge blow ahead of the season due to an injury to Kashvee Gautam, one of the brightest young prospects in women’s cricket. In their previous encounter, they took on Royal Challengers Bangalore Women and suffered a lopsided defeat as the Smriti Mandhana-led franchise beat them by eight wickets and chased down their target of 108 in just 12.3 overs, hugely affecting GG-W’s net run rate.
