WPL 2025 - Gujarat Giants vs UP Warriorz - Key Players

She gave a solid start to the team from the top order and that gave the Giants the confidence to reach the score of 201. During the WBBL 2024 edition, Beth was the 3rd highest scorer in the league and in WPL 2024, Beth was the 6th highest scorer. Her credentials are strong and she can dominate the upcoming fixture again.

2) Deepti Sharma - UP Warriorz

In the absence of Alyssa Healy, India’s all-rounder star Deepti Sharma will be leading the team. She is going to play a 3-dimensional role for the team. Deepti Sharma is expected to lead the team towards victory and do a fabulous job as an all-rounder. She was the 5th highest run-scorer in the previous edition and the whole team will be dependent on her to score the majority of the runs.

3) Ashleigh Gardner - Gujarat Giants

The skipper of Gujarat Giants, Ashleigh Gardner has showcased a positive start to the tournament. She not only came out as the top-scorer in the first fixture but also picked up the most wickets in the game. Ashleigh scored 79 off 37 balls at a strike rate of 213.51 and picked up 2 wickets in 3 overs at an economy of 11. She was the 4th highest wicket-taker in WBBL 2024 and a good outing is expected from her in WPL 2025.

4) Sophie Ecclestone - UP Warriorz

UP Warriorz come with a lethal bowling attack where Sophie Ecclestone will be the leading lady. She was the 5th highest wicket-taker in the previous edition of the league but surprisingly, she didn’t have a positive outing in WBBL 2024. However, her experience speak volumes of her talent and against Gujarat Giants, Sophie will be the key player for UP Warriorz.
