Though deepti sharma

Though Deepti Sharma: Leg-spinner Priya Mishra broke the back of the UP Warriorz batting line-up and helped Gujarat Giants restrict them to 143/9 in their 20 overs in match three of WPL 2025 at the Kotambi Stadium on Sunday.

Electing to bowl first, the Giants ensured that the Warriorz never had it in them to post a big total. Though Deepti Sharma, playing her first WPL game as UP captain and keeper Uma Chetry tried stabilising the innings with a 51-run stand for the third wicket, Priya’s superb triple strike in the middle overs meant that never happened.

With Alana King and Saima Thakor taking 26 runs off the last two overs, it meant the Warriorz crossed 140-mark. Though the Giants will confident of chasing it down, the Warriorz have Deepti, Alana and the top-ranked Sophie Ecclestone to defend 143, which is now the lowest total of this WPL season.
