Gujarat
Giants
injury
update,
team
news

Gujarat
Giants
have
reported
no
fresh
injury
concerns
as
well
and
will
aim
to
keep
themselves
in
the
play-off
runs,
However,
there
are
problems
aplenty
for
the
Ahmedabad-based
franchise.

Table-toppers
made
lightwork
of
them
in
the
last
game
as
the
struggling
side
could
only
manage
107
runs
in
20
overs
while
chasing
163
and
the
problem
starts
right
at
the
top
of
the
batting
order.

S
Meghana
continues
to
struggle

The
lack
of
depth
of
Indian
players
is
telling
in
the
Gujarat
team.
Opener
S
Meghana’s
dismal
show
with
50
runs
over
five
innings
and
still
keeping
her
spot
explains
why
Gujarat
have
very
less
to
change
despite
the
miserable
show.

The
opener
saw
the
opening
partner
changed
thrice
in
Beth
Mooney,
Sophia
Dunkley,
and
Laura
Wolvaardt.
And
Dunkley
has
been
the
only
player
who
played
a
substantial
knock
of
65
against
RCB
women
in
the
win
but
was
dropped
right
after
in
a
surprise
move
by
the
franchise.

The
English
batter
returned
to
the
team
after
that
but
was
gone
for
a
first-ball
duck.

Harleen
Deol,
sole
Indian
performer
with
bat

Harleen
Deol
has
been
the
only
Indian
player
in
the
Gujarat
sqaud,
who
looked
out
of
place
in
a
struggling
team
with
155
runs
in
her
last
four
innings.
The
young
batter,
however,
failed
to
score
big
in
the
last
two
innings
with
knocks
of
20
and
22.

Middle-order
batter
Dayalan
Hemalatha
showed
form
early
in
the
season
but
in
the
last
three
innings
she
could
only
score
27
runs.

Sutherland’s
form
a
concern

The
onus
of
scoring
runs
in
the
middle-order
was
largely
on
Annabelle
Sutherland
but
the
Australian
has
managed
just
28
runs
in
five
games
and
her
bowling
has
been
largely
ineffective
with
just
three
wickets
to
her
name.
She
also
conceded
42
runs
in
the
last
game
as
the
costliest
Warriorz
bowler.

Gardner
exploits
conditions

Ashleigh
Gardner’s
bat
hasn’t
fired
runs
as
well
with
just
52
runs
in
the
last
five
innings.
The
batter
scored
8
and
a
duck
in
her
last
two
outings
as
well.
However,
the
all-rounder
will
keep
her
spot
in
the
line-up
as
she
took
3/34
in
the
last
game.

In
the
lower
order,
Skipper
Sneh
Rana
and
wicketkeeper
Sushma
Verma
got
some
runs
under
their
bat
with
innings
of
20
runs
(19
balls)
and
18
(19)
as
Gujarat
batting
order
fallacies
were
exposed.

Rana
also
decent
job
with
the
ball
as
she
gave
away
just
17
runs
in
four
overs
for
a
wicket
against
a
strong
Mumbai
Indians
batting
order
with
the
pitch
turning
more
conducive
for
the
spinners.

Tanuja
Kanwar
also
did
a
decent
job
with
a
spell
of
1/32
while
pacer
Kim
Garth
(1/31)
got
himself
a
wicket
as
well.

Delhi
Capitals
injury
update,
team
news,
key
players

There’s
no
injury
reported
from
the
Delhi
Capitals
camp
on
the
eve
of
the
match
and
will
be
heading
into
the
game
with
full
strength
after
beating
Royal
Challengers
Bangalore
and
Thursday’s
rivals
Gujarat
Giants
in
the
last
game.

Shafali
Verma
struggling
to
be
consistent

Openers
Meg
Lanning
and
Shafali
Verma
are
guaranteed
their
spots
in
the
line-up
with
Lanning
also
leading
the
Orange
Cap
race
with
221
runs.
Verma
is
also
on
the
top
run-getters
race
with
179
runs
but
her
consistency
has
always
been
a
concern.

The
Indian
top-order
batter
is
unstoppable
on
her
day
as
Verma
played
hard-hitting
knocks
such
as
84
and
76*
this
WPL
while
having
a
strike
rate
of
190.42.
However,
she
has
also
disappointed
with
innings
of
0,
2
and
17
in
other
innings.
Lanning
too
had
an
off-day
in
her
last
game
with
a
knock
of
15.

Delhi
Capitals’ middle
order
takes
pressure
off
top
order

However,
the
pressure
has
reduced
on
them
with
the
likes
of
Alice
Capsey,
Marizzane
Kapp,
Jemimah
Rodrigues
continue
to
score
runs
in
the
middle-order.

Capsey,
who
missed
out
on
the
Giants
game
earlier,
dealt
in
boundaries
with
eight
fours
during
her
24-ball
38
knock
against
RCB
while
Jemimah
played
another
crucial
32-run
innings
after
scoring
25,
34*
and
22*
in
the
innings
before
while
batting
at
No.
4.

Jonassen
have
been
influential
in
the
death
overs,
striking
at
the
rate
of
192.10
while
Kapp
has
been
averaging
44.50.
The
duo
has
been
influential
with
the
ball
too
with
nine
wickets
between
them.
Kapp,
in
particular,
has
picked
six
wickets
and
has
bowled
the
most
dot
deliveries
(67)
so
far
while
Jonassen
has
bowled
42.

Shikha
Pandey
takes
charge
of
pace
bowling

Pacer
Shikha
Pandey
has
brought
her
years
of
experience
into
the
tournament
with
six
wickets
in
the
last
game
as
the
pitches
have
turned
more
conducive
to
bowl
on.
She
bowled
3/23
and
3/26
in
her
last
two
spells
at
the
DY
Patil
while
sharing
seam
bowling
duty
with
Kapp.
She
may
relish
bowling
at
the
Brabourne,
which
provides
more
help
for
pacers
with
the
new
ball.

Spinner
Radha
Yadav
hasn’t
made
much
of
a
difference
this
WPL
with
just
a
wicket
in
five
games.

The
spin
department
is
looked
after
by
Jess
Jonassen
and
Capsey
but
in
absence
of
the
latter,
the
franchise
brought
in
domestic
spinner
Minnu
Mani,
who
proved
economical
with
18
runs
in
three
overs
but
fail
to
pick
any
wickets.

Jonassen,
on
the
other
hand,
has
gone
without
wickets
in
two
games
but
an
experienced
spinner
of
her
calibre
is
hard
to
keep
away
from
taking
scalps
for
long.

pitch
report
DEL-W
vs
GUJ-W

Brabourne
Stadium’s
pitch
has
slowed
down
considerably
since
the
tournament
began.
Spinners
have
begun
to
take
charge
of
the
bowling
attack
with
the
ball
gripping
on
the
surface
before
coming
to
the
bat.
Dew
has
no
role
to
play
at
this
time
of
the
year
as
batters
are
only
able
to
score
runs
after
spending
some
time
in
the
middle.
Anything
above
160
could
be
a
good
total
to
defend.

Captain
and

choices
Since
spinners
are
dominating
the
play,
going
for
spin
all-rounders
could
be
wise,
making
A
Gardner
and
A
Capsey
ideal
choices.
M
Lanning
and
H
Deol’s
batting
forms
is
hard
to
ignore
as
well.
