Deepti Sharma to Harleen Deol. Off break back of a length, outside off stump on the back foot pulling, in the air under control to backward square leg for 1 run, mis-fielded by Thakor, fielded by Ecclestone. That's the winning runs. Gujarat Giants win by six wickets to claim their first win after defeat on Friday, whereas UP Warriors lose their opening match. They were in early trouble losing two wickets with only two runs on the board, but Laura Wolvaardt and Ashleigh Gardner beautifully stabilized the innings with their graceful stroke play. Gardner brought up a half century and even though she fell shortly after, Harleen Deol and Deandra Dottin then joined forces, the latter hitting two sixes, as they effortlessly sealed the victory with 12 balls to spare. Sophie Ecclestone took two wickets, but was little support after their initial burst. Ashleigh Gardner is the Player of the Match.
