Gujarat Giants Rely On Captain Ashleigh Gardner To End Mumbai Indians Curse

Gujarat Giants Rely On Captain Ashleigh Gardner To End Mumbai Indians Curse

Published by Webster

Historically, Mumbai Indians have dominated against Gujarat Giants, winning all four previous encounters, including a thrilling last-ball heist in 2024. However, GG have shown early promise in this edition and will be eager to turn the tide, when they face the 2023 champions on Tuesday. Unlike their sluggish start in 2024, where they had to wait five matches for a win, GG registered their first victory in just their second game this time, comfortably defeating UP Warriorz. However, their death bowling remains a concern, with RCB plundering 79 runs off the last 4.3 overs in their opening game loss and UPW smashing 26 in the final eight deliveries of their innings. Ashleigh Gardner, GG’s captain, will be looking for stronger performances from the top order after their top three combined for just 22 runs against UPW. On the bright side, Deandra Dottin has made an immediate impact in her maiden WPL season, striking at an explosive rate in both outings. Her finishing prowess could be key if GG hope to break their MI …

Mumbai Indians Look To Put Run-Out Controversy Behind Against Gujarat Giants

Mumbai Indians Look To Put Run-Out Controversy Behind Against Gujarat Giants

Published by Webster

Gujarat Giants will seek more runs from their top-order to extend their belligerent run with the bat while Mumbai Indians will look to hit their strides after a tough opener in the Women’s Premier League in Vadodara on Tuesday. Gujarat Giants, who finished last in the previous two seasons, seem to have fix their batting woes with Australian all-rounder Ashleigh Gardner doing the heavy lifting in the first two games. Beth Mooney has scored a fifty at the top of the order but her opening partner Laura Wolvaardt is yet to come good. Giants amassed 201 in their opening game but still lost before Gardner ensured they gunned down a 144-run target rather comfortably. The pressure is increasing on the Indian batters to deliver especially number three D Hemalatha. With the ball as well, captain Gardner has led from the front and has got good support from leg-break bowler Priya Mishra. Mumbai Indians, on the other hand, would like to put the controversy over multiple run-outs in their tournament opener behind when they …

Gujarat Giants Eye WPL 2025 Comeback vs UP Warriorz After Loss To RCB

Gujarat Giants Eye WPL 2025 Comeback vs UP Warriorz After Loss To RCB

Published by Webster

Gujarat Giants will hope their bowlers complement the batters and fielding shows overall improvement after a crushing defeat in the Women’s Premier League season opener, when they take on the UP Warriorz here on Sunday. Gujarat Giants produced a unified batting show to set a commanding 202-run target against the defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru but their bowling frailties were exposed in the first game of the season itself when as many as six options also could not contain the opposition batters. Richa Ghosh was dropped on the first ball she faced and the India wicketkeeper-batter made GG pay a hefty price for the mistake, striking 64 off only 26 balls (7x4s, 4x6s) to quickly turn the tables. GG’ Tanuja Kanwar had also spilled Ellyse Perry’s catch when she was batting on two. The Australian great too made the most of the reprieve as she hit a 34-ball 57 to anchor RCB’s record chase. Gujarat Giants had earlier produced a fine batting show with fifties from former skipper Beth Mooney (56) and incumbent …

Ashleigh Gardner Appointed Gujarat Giants Skipper For Upcoming Women’s Premier League

Published by Webster

Australia all-rounder Ashleigh Gardner was on Wednesday appointed as captain of Gujarat Giants for the Women’s Premier League, beginning later this month. The 27-year-old replaced another Australian stalwart Beth Mooney, who will now focus only on her batting. The third edition of the tournament begins on February 14 with Gujarat Giants taking on Royal Challengers Bengaluru. Gujarat Giants have finished fifth and last in the two editions of the WPL, since its inception in 2023. A key figure in Australian team, Gardner made her debut in 2017 and has played 95 T20Is, scoring over 1400 runs and taking 78 wickets with her off-spin. Winner of the Belinda Clark Award, a prestigious honour in Australian women’s cricket, played a key role in her country’s gold-winning performance at the 2022 Commonwealth Games, and was the ‘Player of the Tournament’ at the T20 World Cup in South Africa in 2023. An integral part of the Gujarat Giants since the commencement of the league, Gardner has scored 324 runs and bagged 17 wickets. “It is an absolute …

Drama On Field As TV Umpire Says Not Out But Ground Umpire Signals Out During Australia-South Africa Women’s 2nd ODI. Watch

Published by Webster

Cricket, the gentlemen’s game, sometimes becomes so funny that you can’t help but roll on the floor laughing. In one of the funniest incidents that ever happened on a cricket pitch, the TV umpire said not out to an LBW review but the ground umpire mistakenly signalled it out. And this didn’t happen in a domestic competition but in an international game. It was the second ODI of the three-match series between South Africa and Australia Women at North Sydney Oval. It was an LBW appeal from Australia against Sune Luus on the bowling of Ashleigh Gardner. Ground umpire Claire Polosak gave it not out initially before Australia went upstairs. TV umpire Sue Redfern found out that the ball was pitched outside off stump and the impact was also well outside it. “Pitching outside off, impact outside. Back to Claire on field, please. Stay with not out. Stand by. Signal not out now,” said the TV umpire. During this the camera re-focused on ground umpire Claire, who mistakenly raised her finger to give …
