GG-W vs UP-W: Gujarat Giants Seek Comeback Against UP Warriorz
Gujarat Giants’ batsmen performed well and set a difficult target of 202 runs in front of defending champion Royal Challengers Bangalore, but their bowlers could not perform as expected and their fielding was also not good.
If India’s wicketkeeper-batsman Richa Ghosh had not got a lifeline on the first ball itself, then the result of this match could have been different. Ghosh took full advantage of this and turned the tables of the match by playing a stormy innings of 64 runs in 26 balls. Gujarat Giants’ Tanuja Kanwar also dropped the catch of Ellyse Perry when she was batting on two runs.
The Australian player also took full advantage of this and played an important role in Bangalore’s victory by scoring 57 runs in 34 balls. For Gujarat Giants, the performance of their batsmen was a matter of relief. Former captain Beth Mooney (56) and Ashleigh Gardner (79 not out) scored half-centuries.
Gujarat Giants Probable XI:
Ashleigh Gardner (c), Laura Wolvaardt, Beth Mooney (wk), Dayalan Hemalatha, Deandra Dottin, Harleen Deol, Simran Shaikh, Tanuja Kanwar, Sayali Satghare, Priya Mishra, Kashvee Gautam
