Gujarat Giants vs UP Warriorz Highlights, WPL 2025: Ashleigh Gardner's All-Round Show Guides GG To 6-Wicket Victory

GG vs UPW Highlights, WPL 2025: Skipper Ashleigh Gardner starred with both bat and ball, leading Gujarat Giants to a comprehensive six-wicket win over UP Warriorz in their Women's Premier League match in Vadodara on Sunday. Gardner (2/39) claimed two wickets and then scored a stylish 32-ball 52, her second consecutive fifty, as Gujarat registered their first win of the third edition of the tournament, following a loss in the opening game to Royal Challengers Bengaluru. Opting to bowl, Gujarat produced a clinical effort with young spinner Priya Mishra returning impressive figures of 4-0-25-3. Skipper Gardner, Deandra Dottin (2/34), and Kashvee Gautam (1/15) also played key roles in restricting UPW to 143 for nine. (Scorecard)

Right then, Gujarat managed a brilliant victory dominating all factors of the game against UP and getting their first win of the season. The Women's T20 League now moves its focus to the next big game of the tournament that is to be played between Delhi vs Bengaluru at 7.30 pm IST (2 pm GMT) on 17th February 2025 but you can always join us early for all the pre-match excitement. Till then, have a nice day!

Ash Gardner, the Skipper of Gujarat is also the Player of the Match. She is very pleased with the win as they went too far in that first game too but eventually they lost because of bowling. Adds that they have played a brand of cricket here and this was a near-perfect game for them. But there is still a lot of improvement there and someone like Priya Mishra getting three wickets at this age provides a different confidence in the whole group. Mentions that she targets the stumps when she comes in to bowl and hopefully, she bowled so far in the first two games, and the boundaries are too frequent
