Jess Jonassen showed her value as an allrounder in the match against Giants. Coming in at No. 3 after Lanning’s dismissal, she targeted the square boundary and plundered 61 off 32 balls. She put on a 74-run stand off just 37 balls with Shafali Verma and wrapped up the match in a hurry. In the loss against UPW too, she had contributed with the ball, finishing with figures of 4 for 31 which included the wickets of Chinelle Henry and Deepti Sharma.
Sanskriti gupta produced a spell of 2 for 11 in her two overs against UPW, where she dismissed Tahlia McGrath and the set Vrinda Dinesh with her offspin. She varied her speed to great effect, even having McGrath bowled with a 95.1kph yorker. Bought at the auction by MI for INR 10 lakh, Sanskriti had been key in Madhya Pradesh’s title win in the Senior Women’s One Day Trophy, finishing with 16 wickets in nine games. She’ll want to continue to make an impression in the MI line-up to cement her spot in the XI.
