Left-arm England spinner Sophie Ecclestone was probably the most profitable UP Warriorz bowler, returning figures of two/25, whereas high Indian bowler Deepti Sharma too claimed two wickets to limit Gujarat Giants to a chaseable whole.
“I feel 169 is a superb whole, we have now an amazing bowling aspect,” Harleen Deol stated within the mid innings break. “Trying ahead to the chase. It was a method, I noticed the batters coming. So it was like a method (enjoying dangerous pictures and getting out). That was the dialog going with me and Gardner. That actually helped me going. It’s a extremely good and good wicket to bat on. We noticed our dismissals final night time, all people has dangerous days. So you might want to overlook the previous and concentrate on the long run.”
Temporary scores: Gujarat Giants 169/6 in 20 overs (Harleen Deol 46, Ashleigh Gardner 25; Sophie Ecclestone 2/25, Deepti Sharma 2/27)
