UP Warriorz Key Players
Tahlia Mcgrath
Australian batter Tahlia Mcgrath was the leading run-scorer for UP Warriorz in the previous edition. The tall right-handed batter will look to have another impressive outing in the WPL 2024.
Alyssa Healy
Skipper of the side, Alyssa Healy will have to do a lot apart from his batting. The Australian veteran will also be doing the wicket-keeping duties for her side in the WPL 2024.
Sophie Ecclestone
England’s Sophie Ecclestone finished as the second highest wicket-taker in WPL 2023. The left-arm spinner will surely have a massive say if the UP Warriorz are expecting to lift the title this time around.
Deepti Sharma
Indian veteran all-rounder, Deepti Sharma will have a crucial role to play especially with the ball. The off-spinner will look to stem the flow of runs in the middle-overs and try to choke the opposition with her accurate bowling.
