WPL 2023 Points Table: Updated standings after UP Warriorz vs Gujarat Giants match

Gujarat Giants failed to open their account in the WPL 2023 points table as they suffered a defeat at the hands of the UP Warriorz on Sunday. The Giants lost against the Mumbai Indians last night and squandered a winning chance against the UP Warriorz as well.

Playing at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai, Gujarat Giants won the toss and elected to bat. Harleen Deol played an excellent innings of 46 runs to help the Giants post 169/6 on the board in their 20 overs.

Chasing 170 for a win, the UP Warriorz slumped to 105/7 in the 16th over. It looked like the Giants would wrap up an easy win, but Grace Harris brought the Warriorz back into the contest with an incredible half-century. Her unbeaten 26-ball 59 helped the Lucknow-based franchise secure a thrilling victory in the penultimate ball.

The win has taken the UP Warriorz to the third position in the WPL 2023 points table. They became the third team to register a win in the Women's Premier League, and their net run rate is +0.374.
