Cheers..

A pretty competitive total posted by Gujarat Giants this. A much better performance by them as compared to their batting effort against Mumbai Indians women yesterday. Their openers got them off a brisk start, but UP struck back with three quick wickets. Just when the bowling team was starting to pull things back, Gardner and Deol had a handy partnership for the fifth wicket. Gardner was stumped, but Harleen struck four boundaries in a row, and missed out on a well deserved fifty. Hemalatha played a cameo towards the end and took the Giants closer to the 170-run mark. For the UP Warriorz, Deepti Sharma and Sophie Ecclestone took a couple of wickets each. Back in 10 minutes for the second essay.

Toss: Gujarat Giants (Batting)

Harleen Deol: 169 is a great total, we have a great bowling side. Looking forward to the chase. It was a strategy, I saw the batters coming. So it was like a strategy. That was the conversation going with me and Gardner. That really helped me going. It's a really good and nice wicket to bat on. We saw our dismissals last night, everybody has bad days. You need to forget the past and focus on the future.

The surface has looked true so far, so 169 might not be enough for a powerful Warriorz unit but Giants have a score on the board which is important.

Harleen Deol: I think 169 is a great total, we have a great bowling side. Looking forward to the chase. It was a strategy, I saw the batters coming. So it was like a strategy (playing risky shots and getting out). That was the conversation going with me and Gardner. That really helped me going. It's a really good and nice wicket to bat on. We saw our dismissals last night, everybody has bad days. So you need to forget the past and focus on the future.

Welcome back. There is a laser show going on at the moment. All set now. The two Warriorz batters, Alyssa Healy and Shweta Sehrawat are out in the middle. Giants in a huddle.

Jethro: "Hemalatha is impressive so far.. " Very impressive.
