GGW vs UPWW Match Preview
The Gujarat Giants have been disappointed by their batting performance. Despite having international stars like Beth Mooney, Phoebe Litchfield, and Ashleigh Gardner, none of them have been able to deliver a match-winning inning. Although Harleen Deol and D Hemalatha showed promise in the last match, they failed to capitalize on their good start.
The bowlers have also struggled, with Tanuja Kanwar being the only one to have taken 3 wickets. Little support has been provided by Lea Tahuhu, Kathryn Bryce, and Ashleigh Gardner, who have only managed to pick up 1 wicket each.
To return to winning ways, the Giants must improve in all areas of their game.
Grace Harris has demonstrated her versatility for the UP Warriorz team, contributing 93 runs and taking 2 wickets. She, alongside Deepti Sharma, plays a crucial role as a middle-order batter. Alyssa Healy and Kiran Navgire showcased a stellar opening partnership in the previous game, accumulating 94 runs for the first wicket.
Kiran Navgire displayed an impressive half-century and appeared to be in top form. Rajeshwari Gayakwad, Deepti Sharma, and Sophie Ecclestone form a formidable spin attack, collectively securing 8 wickets.
However, the seam department appears to be lacking as Tahlia McGrath and Anjali Sarvani have only managed to pick up 1 wicket each.
Weather Report
The weather is likely to be clear with temperatures between 23 and 26 degrees Celsius.
Pitch Report
The Chinnaswamy Stadium has already hosted 7 matches and there are plenty of rough areas on the pitch. The surface is hard and dry, allowing the quicker bowlers to work with the seam and they will get some movement when the ball is new. Things should get better for the batters as the match progresses, and anything around 170 is chasable on this ground.

Harleen Deol: Value Pick
Harleen Deol has been a consistent batter for the Gujarat Giants. She has scored 232 runs in her last 10 matches at an average of 25.78 and a strike rate of 115.42.
