Warriorz and Giants are among the three teams in the ongoing edition who has only two wins so far. A better run rate has put Warriorz in the third position while Gujarat Giants in the last.
Speaking at the toss, UP Warriorz Women captain Deepti Sharma said, “We are going to bowl. Feel like there will be help for bowlers early on. Feels good and we got a good welcome.”
“It’s a different kind of motivation to play at home. We had a couple of net sessions and our preparation has been good. Two changes – Mcgrath and Saima out. Voll is playing,” said Deepti Sharma.
Meanwhile, Gujarat Giants Captain Ashleigh Gardner said, “Looks like a nice batting track tonight. Expecting a high-scoring game. You’ve got to be able to adapt quickly (to conditions).”
“Hopefully we can do that as a batting unit and put up a good score. Anything 170-plus is what we’re going to be striving for. No changes in the team.”
