Gujarat Giants defeated UP Warriorz by six wickets in the previous game, bouncing back from a season-opening loss to Royal Challengers Bengaluru. They chose to bowl first and held UP to a disappointing 143. Gujarat was 2/3 after two overs of replying, but Ash Gardner, the skipper, came in and counterattacked her way to a half-century, giving Gujarat the boost they needed.
