The Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2025 is all set to kickstart from 14th February 2025 as the nation gears up for the cricketing festive season. A total of 5 teams will be locking horns with each other in a bid to win the ultimate honours in this league.
UP Warriorz had finished in the 4th position in WPL 2024 and need to stage a bigger and a better comeback in this season. In 8 games, UP Warriorz had notched up 3 wins and 5 losses and need to punch above their weight in this season.
One big setback for the team is the absence of star wicket-keeper batter, Alyssa Healy due to a foot injury. She had sustained the injury in the previous Women’s T20 World Cup and she would be looking to stage a comeback in the future.
Deepti Sharma has been appointed the new captain of the side and she would be hopeful of turning around the fortunes of the side in WPL 2025.
