UP Warriorz are set to face Gujarat Giants in match No. 14 of the ongoing Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2026. This match will be played at the BCA Stadium in Vadodara on Thursday, January 22. These two teams faced each other earlier in the tournament on January 10. Gujarat Giants emerged victorious by 10 runs in a high-scoring thriller.
The Warriorz are currently placed at No. 3 on the points table, with two wins and three defeats from five games. The Giants also have the same win-loss record but find themselves at the foot of the table because of their dismal net run rate.
Here is the predicted UP Warriorz Women XI for match 14 of WPL 2026:
Top Order: Meg Lanning (C), Kiran Navgire, Phoebe Litchfield
Meg Lanning has led UP Warriorz from the front. She is fifth on the list of leading run-getters in the tournament, having amassed 193 runs in five innings at an average of 38.60. Meanwhile, Kiran Navgire will want to bounce back after getting off to a forgettable start in WPL 2026. In five innings, she is averaging a meagre 3.20. Phoebe Litchfield will be the batter to watch out for in this clash. She has scored 211 runs in five innings at an average of 42.20.
Middle Order: Harleen Deol, Chloe Tryon, Shweta Sehrawat (WK)
Harleen Deol has had a decent campaign, scoring 147 runs at an average of 36.75 and a strike rate of 137.39. South African all-rounder Chloe Tryon hasn’t been too effective with the ball but has played some crucial cameos down the order. Shweta Sehrawat will have to get her act together after registering two ducks in four innings.
Lower Order: Sophie Ecclestone, Deepti Sharma
Sophie Ecclestone has bagged four wickets from five matches but has not been at her best. The same can be said about Deepti Sharma, who has scored 48 runs from four innings and picked up four scalps.
Bowlers: Asha Sobhana, Shikha Pandey, Kranti Gaud
Asha Sobhana has shown her capability to tonk the ball down the order. However, she has only one wicket to show for her efforts after bowling 13 overs across five matches. Shikha Pandey has taken five wickets in as many matches at an average of 26.80. Her new-ball partner Kranti Gaud’s performance has been ordinary, however. The 22-year-old has managed to pick up just one wicket from five games.
Here is the predicted Gujarat Giants Women XI for match 14 of WPL 2026:
Top Order: Beth Mooney (WK), Sophie Devine, Anushka Sharma
Beth Mooney hasn’t been too consistent this season, having scored 95 runs in five innings at an average of 19. Sophie Devine, however, has been in scintillating form and is striking at 181.71. Anushka Sharma has played three games so far and scored 75 runs at an average of 25.
Middle Order: Kanika Ahuja, Ashleigh Gardner (C), Kashvee Gautam
Kanika Ahuja has not been in great form, managing just 55 runs in four innings at a paltry average of 13.75. Ashleigh Gardner, on the other hand, has scored 191 runs at an average of 38.20 and a strike rate of 150.40. With the ball, however, she has only picked up three wickets and conceded runs at an economy rate of 10.71. Kashvee Gautam has accounted for six scalps at 33.17.
Lower Order: Georgia Wareham, Bharti Fulmali, Tanuja Kanwer
Georgia Wareham has 88 runs and three wickets from five matches. Bharti Fulmali, meanwhile, has an average of 35.33 and a strike rate of 168.26 from five matches. Tanuka Kanwer has gone wicketless in the eight overs she has bowled so far and has an economy of 9.50.
Bowlers: Renuka Singh, Happy Kumari
Renuka Singh has bagged five wickets from as many games at an average of 29. She has bowled well and with some luck, could have accounted for a few more scalps. The 18-year-old Happy Kumari made her WPL debut in the last match. She bowled only one over and gave away 10 runs.
