DC Women won the toss and opted to pitch first against Gujarat Giants (GG) at Brabourne Stadium, Mumbai. GG had a decent power play where they scored 32 runs for the loss of 1 wicket. Laura Wolvardt & Harleen Deol took their time as the pitch was no better. Laura Wolvardt she played the role of host while Ashleigh Gardner was in death mode.
GG is in a precarious position where they only won 1 match out of 5 and is in a must-win situation to qualify for the playoffs at WPL 2023. DC Women, on the other hand, would aim for the top of the position where I’ve won 4 games out of 5 and they’ve looked pretty invincible.

Crucial phase for both teams
If GG scores higher than 150, then he would feel like he has a great chance to win the match. All eyes would be on Ashleigh Gardner, as the hitter has been seen in complete control during innings. Captain Sneh Rana would be aware of the fact that DC Women have a dangerous batting lineup where Shafali Verma can take the game in a couple of overs.
DC Women’s captain Meg Lanning has been magnificent and has shown that she can also play the waiting game, which is priceless in modern cricket. The peculiarity of the DC Women’s hitters is that they have many match-winners present on the team, making them a dangerous unit.
