In an exciting clash between UP Warriorz and Gujarat Giants Women in the at the iconic M.Chinnaswamy Stadium, it was a display of exceptional performances by Sophie Ecclestone and that stole the spotlight.
Sophie Ecclestone sizzles with the ball
The UP Warriorz, led by their brilliant bowler Ecclestone, showcased a dominant performance in the field after winning the toss and electing to bowl first. Ecclestone’s precise bowling line and length troubled the Gujarat Giants Women’s batting lineup, claiming three crucial wickets for just 20 runs in her spell of 4 overs. Her ability to extract turn and variation kept the opposition batters in check throughout their innings.
Grace Harris leads UP Warriorz over the finish line
In response to Gujarat Giants Women’s competitive total of 142/5, the UP Warriorz mounted a formidable chase, powered by an outstanding batting display from Harris. The dynamic all-rounder showcased her prowess with the bat, smashing an impressive 60 runs off just 33 deliveries. Harris’s innings was adorned with elegant strokes, including nine boundaries and two towering sixes, as she led her team from the front with a breathtaking display of power-hitting.
Despite the efforts of the Gujarat Giants Women bowlers, including Tanuja Kanwar‘s two wickets for 23 runs, they were unable to contain the onslaught led by Harris. Her aggressive yet calculated approach to batting proved to be the difference-maker as the UP Warriorz secured a convincing six-wicket victory with 26 balls to spare.
