WPL 2026: Devine, Gayakwad Set Up GG’s Comfortable Win Over UPW, Move To Second Place
Renuka Singh Thakur: Gujarat Giants (GG) climbed from the bottom of the points table to second place in the 2026 Women’s Premier League (WPL) after securing a comfortable 45-run victory over UP Warriorz (UPW) at the BCA Stadium in Kotambi in Vadodara on Thursday.
New Zealand’s veteran all-rounder Sophie Devine starred with an unbeaten 42-ball fifty to take GG to 153/8 on a slow pitch. Left-arm spinner Rajeshwari Gayakwad marked her return to the playing eleven with a spell of 3-16 while Sophie took two wickets as UPW lost wickets in a heap to be bowled out for 108 in 17.3 overs, as GG ended their three-match losing streak.
UP Warriorz innings began on a false note as Kiran Navgire was stumped for a duck off a wide ball – she missed a flick off Renuka Singh Thakur and ricocheted off keeper Beth Mooney’s pads to hit the stumps. Phoebe Litchfield pulled Renuka for four, before Meg Lanning unfurled a late cut for four and drove off Kashvee Gautam for boundaries.
