🏏WPL 2023 - UP Warriorz vs Gujarat Giants, Match 3 - 7:30PM IST 🏏 - Page 10

How did that happen? After the shattering defeat yesterday, the Gujarat Giants seemed on track to bounce back nicely. They just needed to defend 52 off the last 3 overs. But that wasn't to be as Grace Harris played an absolute stunner to leave them heartbroken. What an assault there at the death it was, with Ecclestone playing her part as well. But it was Harris who took centrestage, taking on Gujarat's star performer with the ball - Kim Garth - and smashing her for a hattrick of fours in the 18th over. Garth had taken a five-for before that, but she went for 20 in that over, and the whole match came alive as Harris just proved unstoppable from there. An unbeaten 59 off just 26 balls to turn the whole game on its head. Take a bow!

Sneh Rana: Disappointed with the loss, but proud of the girls, especially after last night's loss. Kim gave away a lot of boundaries in the last over, we lost there. Girls have played well, we were ready for the challenge, proud of them. I enjoyed my leadership, I enjoy being the leader. When you have responsibility you got to enjoy it. The girls fought really hard today. The dew plays a major role when you field second, it's difficult to grip the ball, but that is how it is.

Healy: Full credit to Grace and our lower-order in particular. Grace is Grace. That's the only way to describe it. She's got the ability to strike the ball like she did. Kiran was sensational. If we lost an early wicket, we were going to send her in for a whack. She was great tonight. When you throw them the ball, you know what you'll get (Sophie and Deepti). We'll celebrate that. It was pretty special.

Grace Harris, Player of the Match: I started poorly. You need to get the conditions to know how to play. Was thankful that Sophie motored along. Great feeling to finish the game off. I actually knew what I wanted to do. Was getting a bit antsy when there were so many breaks with the DRS at the end. I was just really psyched to get out there and have a bat. Have trained a lot. Love batting with a bit of freedom. Healy, the coach supports any decision. She is a clean striker (Sophie). There was a little bit of confusion towards the end, when the ump walked over to say the DRS has gone down. It was a good bit of fun. Don't know where I'll find some burgers in India. Maybe some butter chicken.

That was an upset win, but one of the best matches which kept the audience at the edge of their seats.

Congratulations to UP Warriorz for the win.🥳

GG has a lot of picking up to do.

Cheers..
