The 14th clash of Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2026 erupts at Vadodara’s Kotambi Stadium on January 22, 7:30 PM IST, Gujarat Giants against UP Warriorz. The Giants kicked off the season with edge of the seat triumphs, a 10-run thriller over UP Warriorz and a four-run squeaker against Delhi Capitals but hit a skid, crumbling 7 wickets to Mumbai Indians, then hammered by 32 runs and a brutal 61 run defeat against RCB, fueling their urgent bid for redemption. UP Warriorz stumbled out of the gates, falling 10 runs to Gujarat Giants before 9-wicket loss by RCB and 7 wickets loss to Delhi Capitals, only to storm back with commanding 7-wicket and 22-run demolitions of Mumbai Indians, carrying that fire into battle.
