Warriorz on the other hand are playing the same team from last game

UP Warriorz all-rounder Deepti Sharma is confident that the team will be able to do well in their clash against Gujarat Giants. The win over Mumbai Inians has certainly boosted the confidence of UP and a win today will help them seal a spot in the play-offs. 

“It was a very good experience in the previous game as we won. I contributed for the team and it felt good. There is always something to learn from every experience. We discuss that we should back ourselves, I focus on bowling dot balls. The strategy is to back our strengths and stock balls. Our focus is to take one game at a time and we will definitely win if we do well,” Deepti said. 

The focus will be on big-hitter Kiran Navgire who has shown that she can clear any boundary in the world if she gets it from the middle of her bat. 

Hear from her about her heroes.
