WPL 2023: Match 3, UP-W vs GUJ-W Match Prediction – Who will win today’s WPL match between UP-W vs GUJ-W?

The third game of the Women’s Premier League will witness a clash between UP Warriorz and Gujarat Giants as the two teams will square off at the DY Patil Sports Academy in Mumbai. This will be Gujarat Giants’ second game of the tournament, having played the campaign opener against Mumbai Indians less than 24 hours prior to the upcoming game.

Gujarat Giants will be desperately looking for a victory in the upcoming game , having suffered an awful 143-run loss in their campaign opener against Mumbai on March 4. They might miss the services of skipper Beth Mooney as she retired hurt in the very first over while batting in the previous contest, and thus Sophia Dunkley might come in and Sneh Rana shall lead the side.
