DY Patil Stadium: Gujarat Giants all-rounder Georgia Wareham said early momentum and collective contributions across departments played a key role in her team’s narrow 10-run victory over UP Warriorz in the Women’s Premier League 2026, as she was named Player of the Match for her impactful performance both with bat and ball at the DY Patil Stadium on Saturday.

Georgia played a fiery knock of 27 runs in just 10 balls. She hit three massive sixes and a boundary to take Gujarat Giants to a massive total of 207. The leg spinner also took two crucial wickets of Harleen Deol and Meg Lanning. She conceded just 32 runs in her four-over spell.

Wareham underlined the importance of starting the campaign with a win, stressing that momentum often defines short-format tournaments like the WPL. The Australian leg-spinner felt the Giants’ ability to deliver as a unit with bat, ball and in the field set the tone in a high-scoring contest.
