In the ongoing Women’s Premier League, Match 8 will see UP Warriorz take on Gujarat Giants at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Friday, March 1. After suffering two consecutive defeats, UPW, led by Alyssa Healy, bounced back with an impressive performance against the strong Mumbai Indians women's team, despite missing regular captain Harmanpreet Kaur. They put up a strong bowling display, limiting MI Women to 161 runs by the end of their innings.
In response, UPW chased down the target of 161 runs in just 16.3 overs, thanks to a solid batting performance from young Indian batter Kiran Navgire, who scored 57, and finisher Grace Harris, who remained unbeaten on 38.
On the other hand, Gujarat Giants have struggled with inconsistent batting performances in their previous matches.
