    WPL 2026: Gujarat Skipper Gardner Rues 'dropped Catches' After Frustrating Defeat To RCB

    Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Gujarat Giants skipper Ashleigh Gardner was disappointed with their 61-run defeat to Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and rued missed chances and dropped catches as the difference, while stressing that the team must regroup quickly and win their remaining two games despite the growing frustration.

    Sayali Satghare’s impressive three-wicket burst, along with a strong batting performance led by Gautami Naik (73), propelled RCB to their sixth straight victory in WPL history and entered the playoffs of the 2026 season.

    "It's pretty frustrating. I'm not going to lie here. When you drop catches, and they go on to score runs. It's those small moments that we are not winning at the moment. We have to win the last two games. But it's frustrating. You have to fight. You have to keep the stumps in play as much as possible. If you saw our wickets, we tried to go across the line. Keeping the stumps in play was the best option. Going down the ground was the best option. There are plenty of learnings, which is a positive, but standing here after the loss is not good," said Gardner after the match.
