Harleen Deol to Jonassen, out Caught by Gardner!! Harleen Deol gets the wicket!! Jonassen charged out seeing the flight and chipped it over the infield.

Gujarat Giants won by 11 runs

Gujarat get back to winning ways but they were really made to sweat in the end. This game had no business getting so close after Delhi were floundering at 100/8 by the 15th over. Delhi lost Verma in the first over, and Meg Lanning couldn't get a big score herself. Alice Capsey looked promising but she was sold down the river by Jemimah, and then the Indian batter was also dismissed cheaply. Marizanne Kapp struck a few meaty blows, but she too fell victim to a run out, with a direct hit. The Gujarat Giants bowlers were hunting in packs, their top three bowlers also picked two wickets apiece, but they were nevertheless given a scare by Arundhati Reddy in the end. She showed her top-order peers how to hit over the infield on this pitch, striking four boundaries and getting it down to a run a ball. However, Kim Garth picked the crucial wicket in her last over, and then Ashleigh Gardner came back to complete the job. A big win for Gujarat, Delhi have their poor top-order display to blame for today's loss.

Meg Lanning | DC captain: We felt that if we bat out the overs, we could actually get over the line. Gujarat team bowled very well. We didn’t play to our potential tonight. Our bowlers did an excellent job and I think they were 20-25 short. We didn’t take that many wickets but we contained them quite well. With wickets in the back end, obviously they would score a bit. It is a good learning opportunity for us. My shot playing across the line was poor and two key run-outs. We lost momentum as we lost a few wickets but credit to Gujarat. (On Harleen Deol) We spoke a bit about her, she bowls a bit of off spin and leg spin. She put the balls in the right areas and got the reward. Everyone has been busy so they will enjoy their time off tomorrow.

Sneh Rana | Gujarat Giants Captain: The smile is always there. We felt 150 was a par score with this ground and conditions. (On Meg Lanning wicket) Yeah, it was a big wicket, enjoyed it. I think the momentum was in our favour only, Kim Garth started brilliantly. Whoever contributes to the team, will be the best. We need two good partnerships to get a good score, and we got that today. Everyone was in a positive mindset right from warm-ups, and we knew we had to do it today.

Ashleigh Gardner | Player of the Match: This was the game I was searching far. Felt I have inconsistent, but today the performance was right with bat and ball. Found the right balance.

Unfortunately for RCB fans, their team moves back to the bottom position after tonight as Gujarat Giants channelled a big performance to get their second win of the tournament. The race for the playoffs is heating up now, let's see what happens on Saturday's double header now after the rest day tomorrow.

Congratulations to GG team for their victory. ⭐️
