Gujarat
Giants
injury
update,
key
players
in
WPL
2023

Gujarat
Giants
are
likely
to
see
Beth
Mooney
return
to
the
side
after
she
was
retired
hurt
in
the
first
game
and
subsequently
missed
the
UP
Warriorz
game.
As
per
reports,
the
skipper
has
resumed
training
at
the
nets.

This
could
effectively
mean
that
English
opener
Sophia
Dunkley
will
make
space
for
the
captain
in
the
line-up.
Her
inclusion
is
also
the
important
fact
that
she
will
keep
the
wickets,
giving
Gujarat
Giants
further
option
to
play
an
extra
bowler.

Giants’ Indian
batters
find
some
runs

Opener
S
Meghana
in
all
certainty
will
keep
her
spot
as
she
is
among
the
few
capped
Indian
players
in
the
squad.
She
made
a
decent
contribution
of
24
runs
in
the
last
game
after
scoring
just
two
runs
in
the
inaugural
match
of
the
season.

Harleen
Deol
got
some
runs
to
add
further
confidence
for
the
side
as
she
scored
46
in
the
last
game,
which
is
the
highest
by
any
member
of
the
team
so
far.

At
No.
5
D
Hemalatha
has
been
the
lone
consistent
performer
with
knocks
of
*
and
21*
with
a
positive
attitude
while
things
were
falling
apart
around
her.

Annabelle
Sutherland
a
star
failure

Annabelle
Sutherland,
who
was
expected
to
guide
the
middle
order,
has
been
largely
disappointing
with
a
sum
of
14
runs
in
24
balls.
Her
pace
bowling
has
been
below
par
too
as
she
conceded
runs
at
an
economy
above
10.

Gardner
not
playing
her
A
Game

Ashleigh
Gardner
was
a
bigger
disappointment
as
the
T20
World
Cup
player
of
the
tournament
was
expected
to
lead
the
charge
but
she
has
neither
impressed
with
the
bat
nor
the
ball
so
far.

However,
a
player
of
her
stature
is
expected
to
fire
sooner
or
later,
in
Giants’
case
sooner
the
better.
Her
19-ball
25
in
the
last
innings
should
give
her
confidence
going
forward.

Kim
Garth
holds
key
to
bowling

Spinner
Sneh
Rana
took
two
wickets
in
the
first
game
but
conceded
43
runs
in
his
full
quota
of
overs.
Things
didn’t
improve
much
in
the
next
game
for
the
vice-captain
as
she
gave
herself
just
two
overs
while
giving
away
16
runs.

In
fact,
the
story
for
the
rest
of
the
Indian
bowlers
in
the
line-up
is
mostly
the
same
or
worse.
The
likes
of
pacers
Mansi
Joshi
and
Monica
Patel,
and
left-arm
spinner
Tanuja
Kanwar
have
either
leaked
runs
or
been
ineffective.

Kim
Garth
was
like
a
breath
of
fresh
air
in
the
team
as
she
picked
5/36
on
her
WPL
debut
and
will
be
the
bowler
to
watch
out
for.

Spin
all-rounder
Georgia
Wareham
may
return
to
the
line-up
as
well
with
Sushma
Verma
not
needed
while
the
likes
of
Hurley
gala,
Ashwani
Kumari
and
Shabnam
Shakil
may
see
an
opening
in
the
line-up
with
Indian
pacers
not
doing
the
job.

Royal
Challengers
Bangalore
women
injury
update,
team
news

No
injuries
have
been
reported
from
RCB
women’s
camp
but
they
have
plenty
of
problems
to
solve
after
being
brushed
aside
by
two
rivals
in
space
of
two
days.

RCB
overseas
batters’
lack
of
form
put
pressure
on
Smriti
Mandhana

Leading
into
the
WPL
season,
there
was
always
a
question
mark
over
the
form
of
overseas
batters
like
Sophia
Devine,
Ellyse
Perry
and
Heather
Knight.

The
worries
were
not
unfounded
as
none
of
the
trio
have
exerted
themselves
into
the
team
in
comparison
to
other
overseas
players
plying
trade
with
the
rival
franchise.

Experienced
Sophie
Devine,
who
was
promoted
to
opening
slot,
has
scored
just
30
runs
in
two
games,
which
is
more
than
what
the
New
Zealander
scored
(19)
at
the
World
Cup
while
her
side
made
group
stage
exit.

She
did
seem
in
good
touch
on
flat
Mumbai
tracks
but
hasn’t
shown
the
mileage
that
was
expected
of
her.

The
same
is
true
of
T20
World
Champion
Ellyse
Perry,
who
scored
31
and
13
in
her
two
innings
and
hasn’t
really
shown
the
dominant
game
that
she
is
known
for.

English
captain
Heather
Knight
came
to
WPL
in
better
touch
in
comparison
to
her
other
overseas
teammate
with
95
runs
across
five
innings
and
started
off
well
with
a
knock
of
21-ball
34
at
No.6
but
was
gone
for
a
first-ball
duck
in
the
very
next
match.

This
has
added
to
the
responsibility
of
skipper
Smriti
Mandhana,
who
appeared
in
good
touch
with
innings
of
35
and
23
following
a
strong
showing
at
the
World
Cup
but
it
was
evident
that
RCB
batters
weren’t
dominating
the
bowlers
once
the
southpaw
was
gone.

Richa
Ghosh
yet
to
fire

There
was
much
expectation
of
wicket-keeper
Richa
Ghosh
too
as
she
was
the
most
in-form
Indian
batter
at
the
World
Cup
and
was
expected
to
go
better
on
sub-continent
wickets
with
the
power
she
produces
in
her
shots

However,
she
scored
just
28
runs
in
two
innings
so
far
at
No.
5
despite
getting
the
opportunity
to
bat
early
than
expected.

Indian
lower-order
batters
sorted

Amid
the
two
defeats,
RCB
had
at
least
a
positive
of
finding
their
lower-order
batters
in
Kanika
Ahuja
and
Shreyanka
Patil,
who
showed
against
Mumbai
Indians
that
they
are
capable
of
scoring
runs
at
the
fag
end
of
the
innings.

However,
Megan
Schutt
showed
in
two
back-to-back
innings
that
it
would
be
better
if
she
bats
ahead
of
the
two
abovementioned
Indians.
The
Australian
is
the
highest-scoring
overseas
batter
(50
runs)
in
the
team
at
the
moment
despite
batting
as
low
as
No.
9.

At
the
top
order,
Disha
Kasat,
rated
as
an
upcoming
talent,
has
disappointed
with
two
poor
outings
of
9
and
0.

RCB
bowling
a
major
concern

RCB
bowling
at
the
same
time
has
been
painful
to
watch.
Frontline
pacers
Renuka
Singh
and
Megan
Schutt
found
it
hard
to
get
anything
out
of
dead
sub-continent
pitches.
However,
the
duo
was
at
fault
for
not
adjusting
their
lines
as
per
the
requirement
of
the
game
as
they
leaked
129
runs
in
the
13
overs
combined.

Devine
and
Perry
have
been
ineffective
with
the
ball
as
well
with
Mandhana
often
not
trusting
them
for
multiple
overs
in
two
games.

Left-arm
off-spinner
Preeti
Bose
has
been
average
bowling
at
an
economy
of
8-plus
while
picking
just
a
wicket.
However,
her
stats
appear
still
better
than
the
likes
of
Shobana
Asha
and
Shreyanka,
who
just
couldn’t
contain
runs.

With
the
bowling
combinations
and
middle-order
not
working,
Dane
van
Niekerk
or
Erin
Burns
may
get
a
look
into
the
batting
order
with
their
spin-bowling
ability
also
providing
for
the
gulf
of
talent
in
the
spin
department
as
Heather
Knight
hasn’t
received
much
support
from
the
other
end.

GUJ-W

Braboune
Stadium
has
some
swing
on
the
offer
early
in
the
first
innings
of
evening
matches,
it’s
something
that
both
captains
may
like
to
exploit.
Once
seeing
out

overs,
it’s
all
batters
game
and
the
misfiring
star
batters
of
both

will
like
to
make
the
most
out
of
it.

200-plus
has
been
never

and
teams
with
180-plus
total
are

to

making

a
