A look at the predicted playing XI of the UP Warriorz
The UP Warriorz franchise spent big at the Women’s T20 league auction held on Monday, 13th February. They had a different strategy altogether for the Women’s T20 league as they didn’t go for the traditional approach of buying a couple of big-name players and forming the team around them. They roped in 10 players for approximately INR 9.05 Crores and built a strong core for the team.
This might be a good approach as this covers the franchise for a couple of years instead of the upcoming tournament. They did buy some major superstars of the women’s game but bought them at smart prices. They came out with a clear approach and bought players that would suit their style of play.
Let’s take a look at the predicted playing XI of the UP Warriorz for the upcoming Women’s T20 league.
1) Alyssa Healy
Alyssa Healy is a household name in women’s cricket and has been one of the top performers for the Australian side for a good number of years now. Healy was a steal buy for the franchise as she just costed INR 70 lakh. Healy is an explosive opener and can get going from the start and her power hitting can be very vital for the franchise.
She is a great wicket keeper as well for the Australian side. So it is pretty certain that she will be keeping the wickets for the franchise throughout the tournament. Healy has the experience of captaining on an International level as well, so she might be one of the major candidates for the captaincy role.
