The inaugural season of the Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2023 has been a roller coaster ride for UP Warriorz. The Alyssa Healy-led side has played six matches so far, winning three and losing just as many. Their most recent game was against Mumbai Indians where they registered an emphatic victory against a side that was unbeaten in the tournament.

However, despite their positives, there are a lot of issues that seem to be bothering UP Warriorz. Former India cricketer Aakash Chopra recently came forward to give his take on the shortcomings of the batting depth of UP Warriorz.

"The UP Warriorz have everything but that much depth in batting. Alyssa Healy, Tahlia McGrath, Grace Harris, and then absolutely nothing. Until now, Kiran Navgire has played just that one knock, and Deepti Sharma goes at a run-a-ball," Aakash Chopra said on the 'AakashVani' show on JioCinema.

"So you can put them under pressure there if Gujarat Giants can reach 150-170 against a very good UP bowling lineup, where you will have Deepti, Sophie Ecclestone, Rajeshwari Gayakwad, Parshavi Chopra, and Devika Vaidya -- you will get to see a lot of spin," he added.

If you make as many runs against the UP Warriorz, you will win: Aakash Chopra

Aakash Chopra touched upon a variety of topics while talking on his show. He also took the liberty of rating Gujarat Giants’ chances in their upcoming game against UPW. Both teams face each other next at the Brabourne Stadium on Monday, March 20.

"Gujarat were demolished by Sophie Devine. In today's game, you will expect the Gujarat Giants to play slightly better. Let's be fair; they played well in the last match. They scored 180. If you make as many runs against the UP Warriorz, you will win the match," Chopra said.

It could be interesting to see how Gujarat Giants would fare against UP Warriorz, who are coming off a win against Mumbai Indians.
