GG vs UPW Match 3 Results

5:51 PM IST Ash Gardner, the Skipper of Gujarat is also the Player of the Match. She is very pleased with the win as they went too far in that first game too but eventually they lost because of bowling. Adds that they have played a brand of cricket here and this was a near-perfect game for them. But there is still a lot of improvement there and someone like Priya Mishra getting three wickets at this age provides a different confidence in the whole group. Mentions that she targets the stumps when she comes in to bowl and hopefully, she bowled so far in the first two games, and the boundaries are too frequent here as you have to bowl on the tighter lines and lengths. Further adds that there have been individual assessments as every different person has their game plans for their batting as Deandra Dottin just whacks every other ball. Concludes that players like Laura Wolvaardt and Beth Mooney in the team do help as they know how to play under pressure.
