🏏WPL 2024: Match 8: GG W vs UP Warriorz W🏏 - Page 3

Pitch and Conditions: "Pitch no. 9 has had the most swing and that is the pitch we are playing on today. There is on green grass. But the conditions are getting cooler and that might play a part. One side square is 48 meters and the other is 61," informs Natalie Germanos.

Teams:

Gujarat Giants (Playing XI): Harleen Deol, Beth Mooney(w/c), Phoebe Litchfield, Laura Wolvaardt, Ashleigh Gardner, Dayalan Hemalatha, Kathryn Bryce, Sneh Rana, Tanuja Kanwar, Mannat Kashyap, Meghna Singh

UP Warriorz (Playing XI): Alyssa Healy(w/c), Kiran Navgire, Chamari Athapaththu, Grace Harris, Deepti Sharma, Saima Thakor, Shweta Sehrawat, Poonam Khemnar, Sophie Ecclestone, Anjali Sarvani, Rajeshwari Gayakwad

Beth Mooney: It would be nice if we could put 190 on the board. We have two changes. Laura Wolvaardt comes in for Tahuhu, Veda also misses out and Mannat Kashyap replaces her. You got to be feeling you can win the game no matter what situation are in. It is a long tournament in some ways and shorter in others, hope we get it right tonight.

Alyssa Healy: We are going to have a bowl. They have all played pretty similar. But chasing looks more comfortable for the teams. Hopefully much of the same, that was the blueprint we want to play. Chamari comes in for Tahlia McGrath.

Vicky: "This is a poor innings from Harleen. 14 off 18 is just not good enough. Building pressure on others as well. Two similar innings here from Harleen and Mooney. Need to kick on asap else this match is over for GG." She needs to learn to change gears, which is what the tournament like WPL is for, for players like her
