59

This is GJ-W vs UP-W Dream11 Prediction. It will be the third match of the WPL 2025. Gujarat Giants will take on UP Warriorz in the third match of WPL 2025. This match will be played at Kotambi Stadium, Vadodara. The match will be played on 16th February 2025 at 7:30 PM IST. 

For the third time in three seasons, Gujarat Giants kickstarted their Women’s Premier League campaign with a defeat as they lost against Royal Challengers Bengaluru yesterday. Despite scoring 200 in the first innings on the back of an excellent 79* by Ash Gardner they could not close out the match.

The bowling and fielding of Gujarat Giants was below par and they dropped three catches which included dropping Richa on duck as she went on to score 67. They will be keen to put up a better performance with the ball and in the field. 

UP Warriorz have been dealt a big blow before the start of the season with Alyssa Healy ruled out. Deepti Sharma will captain the team for this edition. West Indies all-rounder Chinelle Henry will replace Healy. They have added a few players and will be hoping to have some change in fortunes.  This promises to be a closely fought game.

GJ-W vs UP-W Dream11 Prediction: Pitch Report

The pitch at Kotambi Stadium favours batters early on and there will be some help for spinners as the match progresses. On one side it is 60 metres and other side it is 51 metres and straight down the ground it is 61 metres. It is a black soil pitch and it is very well rolled. The surface is really hard, and the cracks are not too wide. Winds will be light, and humidity levels will stay low. The opening match of the season saw more than 400 runs being scored in the match. 

Fantasy Value from Pitch Report

• Try to fit in the top 4 batters from both teams.
• You can take the risk of dropping the fast bowlers from the team bowling first.
• Death bowlers from the first innings and batters will be good C/VC options.
