Georgia Voll, a 21-year-old batter, has limited international experience, having played just three T20Is since her debut against England in January. However, she proved her ability in the WBBL 2024-25, where she was Sydney Thunder’s second-highest run-scorer with 330 runs at a strike rate of 144. She also impressed in ODIs, scoring a century in only her second match against India last December and finishing as the top run-scorer of that series with 173 runs at an average of 86.50.
UP Warriorz are currently in fourth place on the WPL points table, with two wins in the tournament so far.
