Delhi capital 131 for 4 (Jonassen 61 *, Shafali 44, Gautam 2-26) Beat Gujarat Giants 127 for 9 (Fulmali 40 *, Dottin 26, Kapp 2-17, Pandey 2-18, Sutherland 2-20) by six counters
Kapp, Pandey leaves the giants helpless
As she often does, Kapp noted the ball of the right -wing strikers regularly. Harleen Deol, opening the sleeves, cuts such a delivery, but the edge fell just below Lanning in the first shift.
Deol could not take advantage of his luck for a long time, because Kapp prompted another outside edge in his neighbor. This time, the ball has comfortably worn in the gloves of Sarah Bryce. Phoebe Litchfield, who had replaced Laura Wolvaardt in the XI, lasted only three bullets; Kapp has trapped its LBW for a duck.
Kapp’s double -counter girl left GG out of 16 for 2 after four overs. In the next one, Pandey has won the rear counters on consecutive deliveries. Beth Mooney started the finish by shouting Pandey through the covers for four. Pandey passed around the counter and found immediate success when the Mooney pick-up shoot was landed in the hands of Niki Prasad on a long leg.
For the hat balloon, Pandey has become short again. She beat Deandra Dottin on the traction and hit her on the helmet. After a concussion check, Dottin beat the ball flat out of four. In the next one, she repeated the blow against Kapp for the same result. These limits lent the partition of respectability while GG finished the power game on 31 for 4.
Fulmali leads the fight
In the ninth, Titas Sadhu hunted Ashleigh Gardner, the GG captain and their dough, for 3 balls on 9 balls. Two letters later, Annabel Sutherland ended the Dottin counterattack. But Fulmali, playing his first game of the season, led the fight. In the 15th, she pulled Minnu man on a deep square leg for the first six of the sleeves. With Tanuja Kanwar, she added 51 in 40 balls for the seventh window and directed the side after 120.
Lanning’s decreasing yields
Jonassen, Shafali kills the game
The move of DC to send Jonassen to No. 3 has reimbursed generously, in particular with a square limit being much shorter than the other – 51 meters against 63 meters. When the shorter border was on the side of Jonassen’s leg, she scored 23 points out of eight bullets in this region, including her six. She was aggressive against all launchers. Its lowest striking rate was against Gautam, offer to whom it scored 15 out of nine at 166.66.
Shafali preferred the side of the leg, regardless of the shorter side of the border. Of his 44 points of 27 balls, 32 came from the side of the leg. When Gardner trapped his LBW in the ninth, DC had reached 88.
Jonassen spoke of his first Fifty WPL out of 26 bullets. Even if DC lost Jemimah Rodrigues and Sutherland at a lower cost, their victory has never been in doubt.
