UP Warriorz captain Meg Lanning emphasized the need for her team to adjust swiftly to the conditions at the BCA Stadium. Following a 45-run loss to Gujarat Giants in the 2026 Women’s Premier League (WPL) clash, UPW’s playoff aspirations are now uncertain.
In the recent match, UPW struggled, getting bowled out for 108 in 17.3 overs, ending their two-game winning streak. Lanning highlighted the importance of understanding the bounce on the pitch, stating that despite the challenges, scoring was still possible.
Lanning attributed UPW’s batting struggles to a lack of substantial partnerships. She acknowledged the team’s missed opportunities in the field but remained optimistic about their ability to chase targets with improved batting performances. Looking ahead to their next game against Royal Challengers Bengaluru on January 29, Lanning expressed hope for a turnaround in their fortunes.
With UPW currently at the bottom of the points table, Lanning stressed the significance of regrouping and refining their strategies for the upcoming matches. Despite the setback, she remained focused on the team’s goal of securing victories in the remaining games to enhance their playoff chances.
