UP Warriorz Pink Jersey: A Statement for Girls' Education

The UP Warriorz will wear a special pink jersey during their upcoming Women's Premier League (WPL) 2026 match against the Mumbai Indians. This initiative is a collaboration with the non-profit organization Educate Girls. The team is using this platform to advocate for girls' education and the importance of flexible learning pathways for young women throughout India. The limited-edition jersey, a design collaboration with artist Harun Robert, uniquely incorporates handwritten excerpts from letters written by girls participating in Educate Girls' programs.

This meaningful gesture comes at a crucial time for Meg Lanning's squad. After experiencing three consecutive defeats, the UP Warriorz successfully revived their campaign with a decisive win against the same opponents just two nights prior to this match. The upcoming afternoon game at the DY Patil Stadium presents a significant opportunity for the Warriorz to build on this positive momentum and achieve a rare double victory over the two-time champions.

The special jersey's fabric is interwoven with these personal notes, which are addressed to the girls' future selves, adding a deeply personal touch to the team's advocacy. The match itself is scheduled for an afternoon fixture at the DY Patil Stadium, a venue that has previously hosted high-scoring encounters, with one of the two afternoon games this season already exceeding 200 runs.
