UP Warriorz Likely XI
Our read of the strongest XI, in rough batting order. It respects the four-overseas rule, but it is our opinion, not a team announcement.
- Meg Lanning (Batter, 9 Cr)
- Phoebe Litchfield (Batter, 9.5 Cr)
- Pratika Rawal (Batter, 8.5 Cr)
- Harleen Deol (Batter, 8.5 Cr)
- Deepti Sharma (All-rounder, 10 Cr)
- Sophie Molineux (Bowler, 8.5 Cr)
- Sushma Verma (Keeper, 8 Cr)
- Sneh Rana (All-rounder, 8.5 Cr)
- Sophie Ecclestone (Bowler, 9 Cr)
- Shikha Pandey (All-rounder, 8.5 Cr)
- Kranti Gaud (Bowler, 8.5 Cr)
The whole XI would cost 96.5 Cr in Season Fantasy. You can take up to eight of them.
Best UPW Fantasy Picks
- Premium: Deepti Sharma (10 Cr), Phoebe Litchfield (9.5 Cr), Meg Lanning (9 Cr).
- Value: Sushma Verma (8 Cr) and Harleen Deol (8.5 Cr), both in our likely XI.
- Captain idea: Deepti Sharma, the priciest player in the likely XI, on nights when UPW look likely to bat second.
Check the confirmed XI before every lock. A squad player who does not start scores nothing, and the planner flags anyone missing from a confirmed XI.
