Gujarat Giants vs UP Warriorz Dream11 Prediction, Fantasy Tips, Playing XI, Pitch Report & WPL 2025 Live Streaming

Gujarat Giants (GG) have already played a match in WPL 2025, and despite scoring 201 runs, they still lost, exposing their inexperienced Indian bowling attack. Captain Ashleigh Gardner was the standout performer, while Beth Mooney anchored the innings with a fifty. However, if the Giants want to avoid another defeat, their domestic players must step up. We will see this as they take on UP Warriorz on February 16, Saturday.

UP Warriorz, led by Deepti Sharma, are playing their first match of the tournament. While they have a strong international core, their Indian contingent is also relatively inexperienced. Can they exploit the Giants’ weaknesses, or will the Giants bounce back?
