WPL 2024: In the first season of the Women's Premier League 2023, UP Warriors suffered a setback from Mumbai Indians in the eliminator round. Under the leadership of Alyssa Healy, UP had won four out of eight matches at the league stage. Due to this, UP Warriors stood third in the points table with eight points. Today we will analyze the UP Warriors team and know how prepared the team is for the second season of the Women's Premier League.
Foreign players in UP Warriors: The camp of UP Warriors includes a strong group of foreign players. Sophie Ecclestone is currently the top bowler in T20. In the last edition, he took the most wickets for the team. Tahlia McGrath is one of the best all-rounders in the world in the limited overs game. Although, last time she was not able to perform well with the bat, but looking at her current form, it can be estimated that this time she can prove to be fatal for the opponents. UP's star bowler Grace Harris can destroy any batting order with her deadly bowling. This time better performance will be expected from him. The role of UP captain Alyssa Healy, who has played many match-winning innings for Australia, is going to be very important this time. The team also has Chamari Athapaththu who has been included in the team in place of Lauren Bell.

Bowling attack of UP Warriors: UP Warriors' bowling attack looks weak with the departure of Shabnim Ismail. Indian bowler Anjali Sarwani had taken four wickets last season, but it remains to be seen how effective she will prove against the opponents. The spin department looks strong with the presence of Rajeshwari Gaikwad, Deepti Sharma and Ecclestone.
