The second match of the Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2026 will see Gujarat Giants take on the UP Warriorz (UPW) at the Dr DY Patil Sports Academy in Navi Mumbai. With both teams entering the season under new leadership and revamped squads, the afternoon clash will be an interesting one to watch.
Gujarat Giants, who have failed to make a WPL final in the first three seasons, arrive with renewed intent under full-time captain Ashleigh Gardner. Meanwhile, UP Warriorz have made one of the boldest moves of the season by releasing almost everyone before appointing Meg Lanning as skipper. After steering Delhi Capitals (DC) to three consecutive WPL finals, Lanning now leads a franchise desperate to break into the league’s elite bracket. With both sides coming off major overhauls at the mega auction, this fixture will offer the first real indication of who used the table better.
