Sunday (March 5) happens to be a doubleheader and the second fixture on the day will see the Gujarat Giants take on the UP Warrioz. For Warriorz, this will be their first match in the tournament in contrast to Gujarat who faced a heavy defeat against Mumbai in the tournament opener. Gujarat captain Mooney also walked off with an injury and is unlikely to feature in this match, most likely vice-captain Sneha Rana might have to take on the leadership role
