Gujarat Giants vs UP Warriorz WPL 2025 Match No. 15 Report: Gujarat Giants register second highest victory in WPL to move to No.2

Gujarat Giants registered the second biggest win of WPL history to climb up to No. 2 in the points table.

Gujarat Giants vs UP Warriorz WPL 2025 Match No. 15 Report: Gujarat Giants register second highest victory in WPL to move to No.2 | sportzpoint.com
Image | BCCI

Gujarat Giants registered a huge 81-run win over UP Warriorz for the second biggest win WPL history to move to No. 2 in the points table in WPL 2025. Beth Mooney equalled the record for second highest score in WPL while Tanuja Kanwar and Kashvee Gautam took three wickets each to give Gujarat Giants a huge NRR boost.

Here is everything you need to know from Gujarat Giants vs UP Warriorz WPL 2025 Match No. 15 at Ekana Stadium in Lucknow.

101-run partnership from Deol and Mooney

Deepti Sharma won the toss and decided to field first and chase whatever Gujarat Giants put up on the board. Georgia Voll made ther WPL debut as UP handed here the debut cap. UP's plan worked well early as Chinelle Henry dismissed dangerous Dayalan Hemalatha for 2 in the first over. 

But post that first wicket, Beth Mooney and Harleen Deol put up an 101 run partnership to give Gujarat Giants a solid platform to score big in the first inning.

Harleen played a solid 32-ball 45 runs inning, finding the gap easily. However, as she was closing in a solid fifty, she was cleaned up by Sophie Ecclestone. Harleen tried to give her room, but could not adjust to the pace of Ecclestone.

Mooney missed her ton by a whisker

However, Mooney kept to running hard and post completing her fifty changed her gear. Ashleigh Gardner did not look at her best (11) while Deandra Dottin smacked two boundaries and one six before getting out. 

Mooney though despite playing so well, could not become the first player to score a ton in Women’s Premier League history as she did not get that much of strike in the final few overs. With 17 boundaries, she was unbeaten on 96 from 59 balls as Gujarat Giants scored 186/5 in the first innings.

Horrible start for Gujarat

During the chase, Gujarat’s batting order fell like a house of cards. Kiran, Navgire and Georgia Voll were sent back to the pavilion in the fast over by Deandra Dottin

Young pacer Kashvee Gautam then cleaned up Dinesh Vrinda’s stumps while Deepti Sharma edged one to Mooney off Meghna Singh in the fifth over. At 29/4 after powerplay, Gujarat Giants looked far from the target.

After the strikes from pace bowlers, Gujarat’s spinners continued the momentum. Shweta Sehrawat edged one up while trying to slog Ashleigh Gardner in the eighth over. 

Two overs later, Grace Harris, who was the only UP top-order batter to reach double figure mark, miscued a scoop shot against Tanuja Kanwar. After her dismissal, Giants were at 48/6 and only a miracle could have saved them.

Chinelle Henry tried to do that by hiting a few humongus sixes but she could only hit two of them before getting caught at the deep after 28 from 14 balls.

Sophie Ecclestone added 14 off 10 before they were bundled out for 105. With this win Gujarat Giants now have moved up to No. 2 in the points table. This is the first time this season they have managed to win back-to-back games as well.

Champions Trophy 2025: How can Afghanistan qualify for the semi-final? Group B Scenarios

Here is the current scenario in Group B and the calculation needed for Afghanistan to qualify for the semi-finals of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.

Champions Trophy 2025: How can Afghanistan qualify for the semi-final? Group B Scenarios | sportzpoint.com
Afghanistan knocked out England out of the Champions Trophy

After their sensational victory over England, Afghanistan now have a shot at the semi-final berth in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. This now means we have a three-way battle for the semi-final spot between Afghanistan, Australia and South Africa. 

Group B Points table | ICC Champions Trophy

Team M W L PT NRR
SA 2 1 0 3 2.140
AUS 2 1 0 3 0.475
AFG 2 1 1 2 -0.990
ENG 2 0 2 0 -0.305

Here is how the scenarios are currently in Group B.

We can check from the points table that South Africa are leading the Group B now with 3 points and a positive net run rate of 2.140. Meantime, Australia are following them with the same amount of points but a lesser NRR of 0.475. 

On the other hand, Afghanistan are third with 2 points and a negative NRR of -0.990 with England getting knocked out of the tournament already.

  • England vs South Africa - 1st March 2025 - Karachi

How can Afghanistan qualify for semis of Champions Trophy 2025?

As per the current situation, here are the below things that can happen. 

If Australia and South Africa win

If both Australia and South Africa win against their opponents, they will qualify with five points each. That means, for Afghanistan to stay in the competition, they will have to beat Australia by any means. 

If Australia and England win

If Australia win against Afghanistan and England win against South Africa, Aussies will reach the semis with five points while South Africa will qualify as the second best from Group B. 

If Afghanistan and South Africa win

If the Afghans beat Australia, and South Africa also beat England, then South Affrica will qualify as the group topper with five points and Afghanistan with four points will also qualify as the second best. 

If Afghanistan and England win

This is the most ideal situation for Afghanistan. If they can beat Australia and the England beat South Africa, Afghanistan will qualify as the group topper and the second position between Australia and South Africa will be decided on NRR. 

South Africa are ahead in NRR at the points and this means for them to not qualify England will have to win with a big margin. 

If Afghanistan vs Australia is washed out

That is where everything gets complicated. If Afghanistan vs Australia gets washed out due to rain, Australia with four points will qualify.

Then if South Africa gets beaten by England, both South Africa and Afghanistan will finish with three points. But, with the NRR advantage the Porteas have, they will likely to qualify from Group B. However, if South Africa win, they will qualify as the group topper with five points.
