Sophie Devine vs Sophie Ecclestone

Gujarat Giants captain Sophie Devine has had her fair share of struggles against Ecclestone, scoring just 89 runs in 90 balls in T20 leagues while getting dismissed five times. Ecclestone’s left-arm angle will trouble Devine, especially if she is tasked to bowl with the new ball.

UP Warriorz vs Gujarat Giants toss prediction

Given the conditions at the BCA Stadium, Vadodara, the toss is likely to play an important role. With a good batting surface offering even bounce, teams can score freely once set. 

However, the possibility of dew later in the match could make bowling difficult in the second innings. Keeping this in mind, the team winning the toss is expected to opt for bowling first, aiming to restrict the opposition before conditions improve for chasing.

UP Warriorz vs Gujarat Giants Match winner prediction: Who will win WPL 2026 match 14?

All things considered, Gujarat Giants start this game as slight favourites due to recent head-to-head results and overall team balance.

Led by Ashleigh Gardner and Beth Mooney, the batting depth gives them a license to post or chase a competitive total, while their bowling has managed better control at crucial junctures.

UP Warriorz have match-winners like Sophie Ecclestone and Phoebe Litchfield, who can turn the game quickly, but Gujarat’s consistency gives them a narrow edge.
