UP-W vs GUJ-W: Watch – Kim Garth Grabs A Sharp Catch In Her Follow-through To Get Rid Of UP Warriorz Captain Alyssa Healy

Gujarat Giants (GG) had won the toss & elected to bat first. Sneh Rana captained the side as Beth Mooney is yet to recover from the injury sustained against MI Women. GG had a topsy turvy power-play where they scored 45 runs for the loss of 2 wickets. Alyssa Healy marshalled her troops & rotated her bowlers smartly. Alyssa Healy would rue the fact that GG scored 102 runs in the last 10 overs.

Harleen Deol played a scintillating knock of 46 runs in 32 balls under pressure as she struck 7 fours. There was intent from the GG batters this time where they didn’t panic even after being in a state of bother at 76-4 in 10.3 overs. Ashleigh Gardner & Dayalan Hemalatha played invaluable cameos & took GG’s score to 169-6.

UP Warriorz in deep trouble

Alyssa Healy’s dismissal could prove to be a turning point as UP Warriorz don’t have a reliable middle-order present. Given the fact that this is a used pitch, it won’t be easy for the batters to go berserk from ball 1. UP Warriorz should take the game as deep as possible as we have seen how the teams have scored runs at the back end of the innings.

Gujarat Giants (GG) would be tested as one partnership of 60-odd runs can prove to be decisive. GG will have to make sure that they dry up the boundaries as chasing 170 is not a big task in modern cricket. Skipper Sneh Rana perhaps should bowl out Kim Garth before 10 overs as she has got good control over line & length.
