Womens Premier League 2024 (Feb 23- March 17)

[NYRB]

Gujarat finish on 190/7 from their 20 overs and thats a challenging target for Mumbai.

Gujarat have belief they can keep their season alive right about now.

 

[NYRB]

Mumbai need 23 off 12 balls with Kaur still there to win this. They have come from nowhere to be back in contention here.

Litchfield drop of Kaur could prove costly here.

 

[NYRB]

Mumbai need 13 off the last over with Kerr and Kaur there. Its game on here . Gujarat probably will still back themselves to defend that.

 

[NYRB]

Why would you bowl a spinner in the last over?

 

[NYRB]

Dont know what Beth Mooney is thinking.

 

[NYRB]

And thats a famous win for Mumbai , Kaur was outstanding after getting a life.

Had Litchfield held onto that catch, Mumbai would have needed 70 runs off 26 balls to win.

Such are the fine margins in T20 cricket. Dropping catches doesnt win matches.

 

[NYRB]

Standings after Game 16:



With that win Mumbai book their passport to the Finals and have a sight on top spot.

Gujarat path to make the finals requires them to win both games, and hope RCB lose both their remaining games.

 

[NYRB]

A Win for Delhi tonight confirms their passport for the Finals.

 

[NYRB]

Asha strikes in her 1st over.

 

[NYRB]

Jemimah brings up her 50 off 26 balls and the home crowd absolutely love that innings.

 

[NYRB]

2nd fastest 50 in TATA WPL 2024 from Jemimah tonight.

 

[NYRB]

Delhi post 181/5 from their 20 against RCB

and you feel that in an important game with runs on the board, its advantage Delhi in front of their home crowd tonight on Sunday prime time in India.

 

[NYRB]

Charles Dagnall saying this is the wicket they used last nights match.

 

[NYRB]

Kaurs bat in her match winning innings was questioned by the umpires last night:

 

[NYRB]

If Devine is still here come close to the 19th over, one imagine RCB wins this.

 

[NYRB]

RCB need 53 off 27 but if Devine is there till the 19th over they win this batting the way she is.

 

[NYRB]

Sophie Devine goes past 11,000+ T20 runs in her career.

 

[NYRB]

Delhi beat RCB by 1 run in a humdinger on Sunday night.

 

[NYRB]

Standings after Game 17:



Delhi book their spot in the finals.

 

[NYRB]

Game 18:

UP Warriorz (Playing XI): Alyssa Healy(w/c), Kiran Navgire, Chamari Athapaththu, Grace Harris, Deepti Sharma, Shweta Sehrawat, Poonam Khemnar, Sophie Ecclestone, Saima Thakor, Rajeshwari Gayakwad, Anjali Sarvani

Gujarat Giants (Playing XI): Laura Wolvaardt, Beth Mooney(w/c), Phoebe Litchfield, Dayalan Hemalatha, Ashleigh Gardner, Bharati Fulmali, Kathryn Bryce, Mannat Kashyap, Tanuja Kanwar, Meghna Singh, Shabnam Md Shakil



Gujarat Giants have won the toss and have opted to bat

 

[NYRB]

Pitch lightning quick tonight.

 

[NYRB]

Litchfield has been the disappointment of WPL 2 this season.

 

[NYRB]

Gujarat post 152 and that was a handy flurry there in the end.

UPWarrirorz will still be happy but the task is a tad harder now.

 

[NYRB]

Shakil with 2 wickets in the same over and Gujarat are right back in this game .

 

[NYRB]

3 wickets inside the first 2 overs and the UPWarriorz are crumbling right in front of our very eyes.
