UPW are currently in the 4th position on WPL 2025 points table ahead of their home leg

UPW are without their regular captain, Alyssa Healy, who missed WPL 2025 due to an injury issue. Deepti Sharma has been leading the team in the absence of the Australian wicketkeeper-batter.

So far, it has been a mixed season for the Warriorz, as they won only twice in five games and ended up on the losing side in three encounters.

They will be hoping for a turn of fortunes during the upcoming home games when they face GG, MI, and RCB in Lucknow.
