WPL 2026, Match 14: GGW vs UPW head-to-head, weather & pitch report, predicted playing XIs

The Gujarat Giants Women will go up against UP Warriorz in Match 14 of the Women's Premier League 2026 on Thursday, January 22, at the BCA Stadium in Vadodara. The two teams played against each other earlier this season in a high-scoring match, where Gujarat Giants emerged victorious. Both teams will be keen to make an impact again.

Gujarat Giants Women started WPL 2026 well, winning their opening matches. Since then, they have not been able to hold on to the winning momentum and are currently on a losing streak. Led by Ashleigh Gardner, GGW will be desperate to return to winning ways as the league stage enters its crucial phase.

UP Warriorz had a tough beginning to their campaign, losing their first three matches. Things have been little different in the recent times with back-to-back wins against Mumbai Indians Women giving them much-needed confidence. Under Meg Lanning’s leadership, UPW will look to continue this form and aim for a third straight victory.

GGW vs UPW: Weather & Pitch Report

Skies will be sunny and clear over Vadodara on match day. The temperature is expected to remain around 30°C, with a low humidity of 29%. There are no chances of rainfall and a gentle wind of 11 km/h is expected.

The BCA Stadium pitch has largely favoured teams chasing the target. Before this season, six women’s T20 matches were played here, and all were won by the side batting second. The average first-innings score at the venue is around 156, so captains winning the toss may prefer to bowl first.
