After a mixed start to their WPL 2026 campaign, Gujarat Giants are aiming for a strong finish in their final three league matches at the Kotambi Stadium in Vadodara. So far, the franchise has registered two wins and three losses, and they are ready to make the most of their home conditions to stay in the race for the playoffs.
In a media release, head coach Michael Klinger mentioned how they were experimenting with the batting order to find the right combination, saying, “Our initial strategy was to find the right combination, especially for our playing XI. We’vespoken to the group about the brand of cricket we want to play and the targets we aim to achieve, both in Mumbai and now in Vadodara.”
He further added, “I felt we played some really good cricket in our first couple of games with two solid wins, but in the last three matches we’ve fallen a little off the pace and haven’tplayed quite at our best. With three matches still to go, we remain very much in the competition. We will have to tweak our strategy slightly, especially with the playing conditions being different here.”
Captain Ashleigh Gardner also shared her positive mindset as she trusts the team’s unity. “We’ve played some good cricket and some not-so-good cricket, but it’s important to trust your preparation as individuals and as a team. We’re focused on building an environment where everyone is gelling well. For us, it’s about sticking to our processes and hopefully putting on stronger performances for our home crowd in these last three games,” Gardner said.
Currently, Gujarat Giants are at the bottom of the points table and will next face UP Warriorz on January 22.
