UP Warriorz Schedule WPL 2023: Complete UPW match list, date, venue & timings in IST

UP Warriorz (UPW) conducted some smart and shrewd business during the inaugural Women's Premier League (WPL) auction on Monday, February 13, in Mumbai.

The franchise got hold of Deepti Sharma for an astonishing sum of ₹2.6 crore and added established international stars like Sophie Ecclestone and Tahlia McGrath to forge a solid core.

The first-ever season of the WPL is scheduled to be held from March 4 to 26 in Mumbai across two different venues. UPW will play their first-ever match against fellow debutants Gujarat Titans on March 5 at the DY Patil Stadium.

Their final match is also coincidentally the closing contest of the league stage and comes against Delhi Capitals (DC) on March 21 at the Brabourne Stadium. Both venues will host four matches apiece for the UP Warriorz in the league stage, which embodies a round-robin format.

UP Warriorz will play two of their eight matches as day fixtures, with the rest slated to be played under lights.
