Toss UP Warriorz chose to bowl vs Gujarat Giants
The coin fell in Deepti Sharma’s favour on Lucknow’s WPL debut and UP Warriorz had little hesitation in bowling first against Gujarat Giants. This is the first time the Ekana Stadium is hosting a game in this competition. It is the official home of the Warriorz.
Giants, who are at the bottom of the pile, went in unchanged, keeping belief in a side that defeated Royal Challengers Bengaluru in their last outing.
The pitch at the Ekana Stadium had a slight covering of grass and was a mixed-soil surface. One square boundaries, as Natalie Germanos put it at the pitch report, was “rather deliciously short” at 50metres with the other measuring 59metres. The straight hit was also short in comparison to Bengaluru and Vadodara, measuring 66metres.
UP Warriorz: 1 Kiran Navgire, 2 Georgia Voll, 3 Vrinda Dinesh, 4 Deepti Sharma (Capt), 5 Shweta Sehrawat, 6 Grace Harris, 7 Uma Chetry (WK), 8 Chinelle Henry, 9 Sophee Ecclestone, 10 Kranti Goudi, 10 Gouher sultana
Gujarat Giants: 1 Beth Mooney (WK), 2 D Hemalatha, 3 Harleen Dol, 4 Ash Gardner (CAPT), 5 Phoebe Litchfield, 6 Deandra Dottin, 7 Kashvee Gautam, 8 Bharti Fulmali, 9 Tanuja Kanwar, 10 Meghna Singh, 11 Piya Mishra
