UPW vs GG, Match 3 WPL 2023: Predicted playing XI, live streaming details, weather and pitch report

The Gujarat Giants will return to the DY Patil Stadium the day after their crushing defeat to the Mumbai Indians, hoping to turn their fortunes around when they face the UP Warriors in their Women's Premier League opener.

The Warriors are expecting Healy, Navgire, and Harris to provide an explosive performance with the bat, bolstered by the presence of Tahlia McGrath, Deepti, and Devika Vaidya. Additionally, Shweta Sehrawat, a member of India's U-19 World Cup-winning team, will be a key contributor.

The Warriors' bowling attack will be spearheaded by Ismail, Lauren Bell, and Anjali Sarvani in the pace department, while Sophie Ecclestone and Rajeshwari Gaikwad will lead the spinners in the all-rounder category.

For the Giants, 25-year-old left-arm spinner Tanuja Kanwar was a shining light against the Mumbai Indians, conceding a mere 12 runs from her two overs. Her impressive performance was a much-needed boost for the Giants, who were otherwise outplayed by the Mumbai Indians.
