Over UP Warriorz: Gujarat Giants captain Ashleigh Gardner hailed her team’s composure under pressure after they edged past UP Warriorz by 10 runs in a thrilling, high-scoring Women’s Premier League 2026 encounter at the DY Patil Stadium on Saturday.

Reflecting on the contest, Gardner said the match was entertaining and highlighted the batting-friendly nature of the surface. She admitted that the Giants were aware early on that a big total was required to stay competitive in a match where 404 runs were scored in just 40 overs.
