TEAMS PREVIEW
Gujarat Giants Preview
Ashleigh Gardner will be upset with the 6-wicket loss against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the last game. They performed well with the bat, putting up 201 runs on the board, but the bowlers failed to defend it. Gardner expects a better show from her bowlers in this game and earns their first points for the season.
Beth Mooney looked good in the last game and must deliver a good start with Laura Wolvaardt. Ashleigh Gardner played an electrifying knock and will look to build partnerships in the middle order with Dayalan Hemalatha and Deandra Dottin. Simran Shaikh and Harleen Deol add firepower to the batting.
The bowling attack looked rusty in the last game, and they must improve their show. The team needs early wickets from Ashleigh Gardner and Kashvee Gautam with the new ball. Deandra Dottin must use her experience and do well in the middle overs with Tanuja Kanwar. Sayali Satghare and Priya Mishra must do well in the supporting role.
UP Warriorz Preview
Deepti Sharma takes over the team’s captaincy this season and will look to make a good start. They didn’t do well last season despite individual promises from some players. Sharma would like her players to draw inspiration from their good record against the Giants and start the season with a big win.
Chamari Athapaththu is an attacking player and is looking to deliver a strong start in this game with Kiran Navgire. The middle order is formidable, and the team expects partnerships between Deepti Sharma, Tahila McGrath, and Grace Harris. Uma Chetry, Grace Harris, and Poonam Khemnara add strength to the lineup and must do well.
Gouher Sultana and Saima Thakor must use the new ball to their advantage as the Giants Women have good hitters at the top. Sophie Ecclestone and Deepti Sharma are experienced bowlers, and the team expects a strong show from them in the middle overs. Athapaththu, McGrath, Rajeshwari Gayakwad, and Harris add depth to the attack.
Weather Conditions
We expect clear skies over Vadodara and good conditions. The track would be good to bat, where batters can easily play their strokes. There isn’t much on this wicket for the bowlers. The average first-innings score at this venue is 157 runs. The side batting first would like more than 180 runs on the board.
GGW vs UPW Pitch Report
Kotambi Stadium, Vadodara, is a great venue for T20 cricket. This venue sees high-scoring games. Batters can play fearlessly as the ball comes onto the bat nicely. Fast bowlers must bring out their variations to do well here, and the spinners enjoy good support from the wicket.
Toss: To Bowl
In the last two seasons of the tournament, most of the teams chasing the score have won games. Bowling in the second half with the dew setting is always challenging. The side win-ning the toss won’t hesitate to bowl first.
