WPL 2025: 3 players to watch out for in the UP Warriorz vs Gujarat Giants match

The WPL is now reaching the final stages of this season. With so many exciting matches already played, the focus now moves to the Warriorz versus Giants match. The Warriorz are currently placed third on the points table with four games played, whereas the Giants are last, with the same number of points but an inferior net run rate.

With qualification for the knockouts at stake, the upcoming match is of high importance for both teams. Additionally, fans will be hoping that the star players bring out their A-game in this clash. Let us take a look at the three players to watch out for in the UP Warriorz vs Gujarat Giants match:

1. Ashleigh Gardner

The Gujarat Giants skipper is on a roll, as she managed to win the Player-of-the-Match award against the Royal Challengers Bangalore, thanks to a half-century. Gardner has been a skipper who has walked the talk with her performances, and there is no doubt that she is the most valuable player for the Giants.

With the ball, she has been economical as well. Her last match performance is a testament to this fact as Gardner bowled four overs, conceding just 22 runs and managing to pick up a wicket as well. In the shortest format of the game, Gardner has picked up 78 wickets with a stellar economy rate of 6.55. With a new challenge ahead, it will be interesting to see how Gardner fares in this crucial stage of the tournament.

2. Deandra Dottin

In a crucial phase of a T20 tournament, it is of pivotal importance that experienced players step up. And this is the time for Deandra Dottin to rise to the occasion and show why she is one of the finest T20 cricketers in the world.

The star all-rounder can score quickly while adjusting to the conditions. With a plethora of experience gained from 138 T20Is, she can play the role of an anchor if needed. Her highest score of 122 in T20Is shows that she can play a long inning when required.

Talking about her bowling, Dottin has maintained a decent economy rate. With best bowling figures of 5/5 in T20Is, there is no doubt that she can contribute effectively with the ball as well. Captain Gardner and the Giants’ management will be hoping that Dottin makes a mark in the final leg of the tournament.

3. Grace Harris

Grace Harris is an all-rounder who can take the game away from the opposition on her day, thanks to her attacking style of batting. The Aussie has an impressive strike rate of 155.32 in T20Is and a highest score of 64*.

In the WPL, Harris has managed to score at a strike rate of 145.10 and has three half-centuries to her name. Additionally, she has picked up 11 wickets in the WPL and can bowl her full quota of overs. An economy rate of 7.57 and best bowling figures of 4/15 demonstrate her ability with the ball. It will be interesting to see how Harris performs in the upcoming game against the Giants.
