GG W vs UPW W Live Score: Gardner the captain
Gujarat Giants, meanwhile, enter the season with greater optimism after breaking into the playoffs last time around, following two disappointing campaigns.
Under the leadership of Ashleigh Gardner, the Giants possess a strong overseas contingent, though the lack of an established Indian batter at the top of the order could be a concern.

GG W vs UPW W Live Score: Warriorz’s biggest strength
Bowling remains the Warriorz’s biggest strength. With Sophie Ecclestone and Deepti Sharma forming a world-class spin duo, complemented by the experience of Shikha Pandey and Kranti Gaud, the attack has the variety to strike early and close out innings effectively.

GG W vs UPW W Live Score: New captain Meg Lanning
The Warriorz will place their faith in newly appointed captain Meg Lanning to reverse a worrying trend that has seen them slide from third to fourth and then finish bottom across the tournament’s first three editions.
Lanning’s arrival, following a highly successful stint with Delhi Capitals that yielded three straight finals, is expected to inject composure and direction into a side that looked unsettled last season, particularly in the prolonged absence of Alyssa Healy.
While Lanning’s presence adds leadership and stability, the Warriorz still have gaps to address, most notably in the wicketkeeping department, where Shipra Giri remains the only specialist option.
At the top of the order, Phoebe Litchfield offers tactical flexibility and could open alongside the explosive Kiran Navgire, while the onus in the middle will fall on Lanning and Harleen Deol to anchor and accelerate when required.
