Second-placed Gujarat Giants are yet to beat third-ranked Mumbai Indians in the WPL so far. \u201cWe just have to look at the games that we\u2019ve won. We\u2019ve always set a really good marker early on in our innings. Ultimately, we\u2019re basically playing a quarterfinal here, so we know we have to do both skills really well.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cBut I think we can set the game up with the bat in hand and then hopefully try and defend it with the ball. The past is the past, and we just need to focus on what the present looks like. I know when we play really good cricket, we win games of cricket.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cWe just have to reflect on the last game we played against these guys. We put on 190 and obviously weren\u2019t able to defend it, but there are so many positives we can take out of that game, and also positives from this season. The stats speak for themselves, but I think we have a great opportunity tonight to try and change that,\u201d said GG skipper Ashleigh Gardner.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Mumbai Indians captain Harmanpreet Kaur said she was wishing to bowl first. \u201cWe wanted to bowl, so I\u2019m glad we\u2019ve got that opportunity because as a team that\u2019s what we all decided. It\u2019s a great opportunity for us to start with a good powerplay.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cIf we\u2019re able to get a few wickets, that will be a great win for us. I feel every match is a new match. Every day is a new day. I know we have a great record, but at the same time, every day we have to come and play good cricket against them. Today is another day where we want to play good cricket,\u201d she said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
