Phoebe Litchfield led the charge for Gujarat Giants with a brisk 35 off 26 balls, followed by Gardner's 30 off 17 balls and Wolvaardt's contribution of 28 off 26 balls.

Despite a brief scare after the dismissal of Sehrawat, the duo of Harris and Sharma ensured a smooth finish to the match.

The loss adds to Gujarat Giants' woes as they find themselves at the bottom of the table after suffering three consecutive defeats in the tournament.

UP Warriorz' convincing win cements their position as strong contenders in the WPL 2024, while Gujarat Giants will need to regroup and strategize to turn their fortunes around in the upcoming matches.
