WPL 2024 Match 8 UPW-W vs GG-W Dream11: Preview

UP Warriorz was the definition of a middling team in the inaugural season of the WPL in 2023. Not only did they win four and lose four matches last time around, but they also finished third in a five-team league. They then failed to make it to the final when they lost the eliminator against the eventual champions, the Mumbai Indians. They will be looking to not only make it to the playoffs once again but also go one step forward and play in the final.

Gujarat Giants, on the other hand, were the big losers of WPL 2023. After finishing last in the league table, they will be hoping for a much better tournament in 2024.

WPL 2024 UPW-W vs GG-W Pitch Report

The pitches of Bengaluru’s Chinnaswamy Stadium are the ones where fans get excited to watch their favorite team bat. This stadium has seen some of the biggest scores notched in both domestic and international T20s. The most recent match here saw India and Afghanistan tie the T20 at 212 runs.

Apart from being batting-friendly pitches, the ground itself is not the biggest in the world, helping the batter score more boundaries.

On some occasions, however, the pitches here become spin-friendly, where spinners can weave traps for the batters.

There is also no prediction of it raining in Bengaluru for the whole of February, but there might be some dew at night, which might make batting 2nd a better prospect.
