UP
Warriorz
injury
update,
key
players
in
WPL
2023

UP
Warriorz
have
no
injury
concerns
reported
ahead
of
their
tournament
opener
and
are
among
few
sides
in
the
competition,
who
are
spoilt
for
choices,
giving
skipper
Alyssa
Healy
a
sweet
headache
on
the
team
selection.

Sophie
Ecclestone
or
Grace
Harris?

UP
Warriorz’s
top
order
seems
sorted
with
Healy
and
Shweta
Sehrawat
as
the
openers
followed
by
Kiran
Navgire
and
Tahlia
McGrath.
Vice-captain
Deepti
Sharma
is
likely
to
bat
at
No.
5.

However,
things
turn
interesting
from
this
point
onwards
as
the
team
management
will
have
to
take
crucial
call
on
whether
to
play
Women’s
T20
World
Cup’s
top
wicket-taker
Sophie
Ecclestone
or
one
of
the
best
pinch-hitter
of
women’s
cricket
in
Grace
Harris.

While
Grace
Harris’s
inclusion
seems
essential
as
she
bolsters
the
batting
strength
in
the
closing
stages
of
innings,
Ecclestone’s
wicket-taking
abilities
are
too
hard
to
ignore.

However,
the
side
has
considerable
amount
of
spin
bowlers
in
their
arsenal
along
with
Deepti,
Rajeshwari
Gayakwad,
Parshavi
Chopra,
Simran
Saikh
among
other
options.

Laxmi
Yadav
is
expected
to
take
the
responsibility
of
glovework
while
one
of
Anjali
Sarvani
and
S
Yashasri
may
find
a
spot
in
the
11
as
Indian
pacer.

However,
if
the
conditions
favour
playing
multiple
pacers,
the
team
management
may
opt
for
both
of
them
at
the
cost
of
a
spinner.

Who
will
be
overseas
pacer?

As
far
as
an
overseas
pacer
is
concerned,
the
battle
for
the
spot
is
between
England’s
Lauren
Bell
and
South
African
Shabnim
Ismail
with
the
latter’s
recent
form
at
the
World
Cup
making
her
a
hot
favourite
for
the
spot.

Gujarat
Giants
women
injury
update,
team
news

Gujarat
Giants
captain
Beth
Mooney
was
injured
during
the
last
game
and
is
likely
to
miss
Sunday’s
match
as
well.
Vice-captain
Sneh
Rana
is
to
lead
the
team
if
Mooney
doesn’t
play.

Sophie
Dunkley
like
to
replace
Beth
Mooney

If
Mooney’s
injury
is
too
serious,
it
could
jeopardise
Gujarat
Giants
further
as
the
franchise
is
built
around
foreign
players
while
big
Indian
names
were
not
bought
at
the
auction.

The
lack
of
indigenous
quality
names
did
hurt
the
franchise
against
Mumbai
Indians
as
the
Ahmedabad-based
franchise
conceded
207
runs
and
then
were
bundled
out
for
65
runs
by
the
16th
over.

English
opener
Sophie
Dunkley,
who
had
an
off-colour
T20
World
Cup,
is
likely
to
start
the
innings
with
S
Meghana.
Since
Dunkley
can
bowl
as
well,
Tanuja
Kanwar
could
be
dropped
from
the
team
to
fit
in
Sushma
Verma
as
the
wicketkeeper.

No
depth
among
Indian
players

Likes
of
Harleen
Deol
and
Sneh
Rana
are
unlikely
to
be
dropped
from
the
team
despite
an
unimpressive
display
in
the
last
game.

Deol
was
out
for
a
duck
while
Rane
was
entrusted
with
just
two
overs
after
going
for
17
runs
in
the
powerplay.

Australia’s
World
Cup
winners
Ashleigh
Gardner
and
Annabel
Sutherland
too
are
going
to
keep
their
places
in
the
playing
11.
Gardner,
considered
among
the
best
spinners
in
the
world,
went
for
38
runs
in
her
four
overs
for
a
wicket
and
then
was
out
for
a
duck
in
the
middle
order.

Fast-bowling
all-rounder
Sutherland
gave
away
32
runs
in
three
overs
before
scoring
just
6
with
the
bat.

Among
other
crucial
players
in
the
team,
vice
captain
Sneh
Rana
took
two
wickets
but
gave
away
42
runs
as
well.
She
could
only
contribute
a
run
with
the
bat
as
her
innings
folded
in
just
two
deliveries.

Middle-order
batter
D
Hemalatha
was
the
only
batter
who
could
spend
some
time
in
the
middle
with
an
innings
of
29
runs
off
23
balls.

Lack
of
quality
among
Indian
pacers

However,
the
lack
of
quality
in
pace
was
evident
with
Monica
Patel
and
Mansi
giving
away
51
runs
in
four
over
combined.

Monica
in
particular
was
taken
for
plenty
and
the
franchise
may
consider
fast-bowling
all-rounder
Kim
Garth
in
the
line-up
to
fill
that
gulf
in
quality.

This
could
also
mean
spin
all-rounder
Georgia
Wareham
could
have
to
sit
out
of
the
team.

pitch
report
UP-W
vs
GUJ-W

The
new
ball
will
allow
some
movement,
allowing
the
pacers
to
find
some
early
purchases.
However,
the
DY
Patil
pitch
would
be
highly
conducive
for
batting
once
the
shine
of
the
ball
is
gone.

There
is
not
much
help
expected
for
the
spinners
yet
but
Saika
Ishaque
showed
the
other
night
that
spinners
could
be
effective
if
they
vary
their
line
and
length
well.
