UP Warriorz vs Gujarat Giants Tournament Prediction & Betting Tips 2022

UP Warriorz would like to start their campaign with a victory and they have a pretty talented pool of foreign superstars to pull off the win. The inclusion of Alyssa Healy, Tahlia McGrath, and Grace Harris makes the batting unit a strong asset for the team. The bowling unit will mostly rely on the shoulders of Deepti Sharma and Shabnim Ismail. The team would aim to get to a winning start in their opening encounter and the fixture against a side who might be low on their confidence after the first match defeat might work in their favour.

Gujarat Gianst found nothing more than disappointment in their tournament opener. They went down against Mumbai Indians without even putting up a fight and lost the game by 143 runs. Beth Mooney got injured in the game and after she was back in the dugout after being retired hurt the team just crumbled. Dayalan Hemalatha was the only batter who was comfortable on the crease and played some quality strokes. The team will expect some runs from Ashleigh Gardener to play a significant knock in the game. Also, Sophia Dunkley might come in place of Beth Mooney and she can also contribute with some runs. Overall, the team will need their batting to fire with Gardener leading the charge.

UP Warriorz vs Gujarat Giants Betting Odds

UP Warriorz to have highest opening partnership @1.8

Alyssa Healy and Kiran Navgire are likely to open for Warriorz in their opening fixture and Healy’s form increases the probability of the team getting a good start. Healy has scored two fifties in her last five T20Is and one of them came against New Zealand who are considered to be a quality team in world cricket. On the other hand, Sabbhineni Meghana was seen struggling for Gujarat in the first game while there is a big question mark over Beth Mooney’s fitness for the match. Considering all the factors, it is likely that UP will have a better start to their inning as compared to their opponents.

UP Warriorz vs Gujarat Giants Top team batsman

Allysa Healy to be UP Waariorz top batter @2.875

Healy’s red hot form in international cricket increases the chances of her playing a solid knock at the top of the innings. Her last five knocks read 55, 37, 54*, 25, 18. Also, she has 2489 runs in 123 T20I innings with an average of 24.40 and a strike rate of 126.92. Her impressive stats at the international level makes her the best candidate to emerge as the top batter from the UP Warriorz camp.

Ashleigh Gardner to be Gujarat Giant’s top batter @4.32

Although, Gardener was dismissed on a duck against Mumbai Indians, she is one the world-class all-rounder and will bounce back with the bat sooner or later. The Australian all-rounder has notched up 1176 T20I runs with an average of 28 and a strike rate of 132.43. All these numbers indicate that Gardener can be the top batter for her side.

UP Warriorz vs Gujarat Giants Top team bowler

Deepti Sharma to be UP Warriorz top bowler @4.5

Deepti has scalped 102 wickets from 90 innings in T20Is so far with a strike rate of 18.9 and a bowling average of 19.46. Also, she has picked six wickets in her last five T20Is and so her recent form also cements her case to be the top bowler for her side.

Georgia Wareham to be Gujarat Giants’ top bowler

In the game against Mumbai Indians, Wareham dismissed Nat Sciver Brunt but she was expensive. The leg-spinner is expected to bounce back with the ball in the match as she has been consistent at the international level taking 42 wickets from 37 innings with a strike rate and bowling average both less than 15.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win: UP Warriorz

Although, the Gujarat Giants lost their first game, they have some quality bowling all-rounders in the side and so the bowling unit looks superior and is more experienced as compared to the opposition. Also, even if Beth Mooney misses the contest, Sophia Dunkley will replace her and she along with Ashleigh Gardener can score a lot of runs for the team. Considering the Gujrat Giant’s ability to cause more damage with the ball, we back them to win the fixture.
