UP Warriorz vs Gujarat Giants | Match Details

Match: 3
Date: 5/03/2023
Time: 7.30 pm IST
Venue: Dr. DY Patil Sports Academy, Navi Mumbai
Where to Watch: Sports 18, Jio Cinema

Venue Details

Only two Women's T20I matches have been played at the DY Patil Stadium before the first WPL 2023 match between Mumbai & Gujarat. Generally, it has been a high-scoring ground. Australia had put up 187 and India were able to tie that match last year. Meanwhile, in the other match, Australia were able to chase India's 172 easily just by losing 1 wicket. Mumbai Indians also put up a big total of 207 runs while batting first.

So, the team winning the toss will surely look to chase here with due coming into play in the latter part of the match. Moreover, you can expect a high-scoring match as well. Although Mumbai Indians restricted Gujarat to a score of just 64 runs when they came down to chase the total of 208. The Pitch is quite interesting and the weather condition will matter. At this point, batting first can be an advantage on this pitch.
