    WPL 2025: GG's Skipper Gardner Calls For Stronger Opening Stand After Losing To MI

    By IANS News February 18, 2025 • 23:26 PM View: 766
    Gujarat Giants: Gujarat Giants (GG) skipper Ashleigh Gardner stressed the importance of a solid opening stand after her team’s five-wicket loss to Mumbai Indians (MI) in the 2025 Women’s Premier League (WPL) at the Kotambi Stadium here on Tuesday. Mumbai Indians chased down Gujarat Giants’ target of 121 with ease, winning with 23 balls to spare.

    "We just lost wickets in clumps. We put a lot of onus on the top order to score a bulk of the runs but it wasn't to be (tonight). Wicket played differently to the other two, but I don't think we necessarily adjusted fast enough. It seemed to be a little bit faster in the first ten overs. There was a bit of turn when the spinners came on and bowled slower," Gardner said after the match.

    GG’s opening duo, Laura Wolvaardt, and Beth Mooney, struggled to find momentum as MI’s bowlers kept them in check. Mooney was dismissed for just 1 in the second over by Nat Sciver-Brunt, and Wolvaardt followed soon after for 4, caught at deep extra cover off Shabnim Ismail.
