GG also shuffled its uneven top order, with Harleen Deol starting for the first time this season and Phoebe Litchfield replacing a poor Laura Wolvaardt.
Despite the fact that the Gujarat Giants lost to the Delhi Capitals on Tuesday at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, bowling coach Pravin Tambe believes the long gap between matches helped the team prepare for unfamiliar conditions.After seven days away from WPL action, the Giants defeated the two-time finalist by six wickets to begin their Bengaluru leg.
“I don’t believe that the gap caused more harm than good.” We had enough time to evaluate things after playing three straight games in Vadodara. The wickets were obviously different since they were going from black to red soil. However, the former Indian Premier League (IPL) bowler told reporters following the game, “I don’t think that affected us that much.”Additionally, GG moved around its patchy top-order in the game, with Phoebe Litchfield replacing a poor Laura Wolvaardt and Harleen Deol opening for the first time this season. Tambe justified the decisions even though these adjustments didn’t leave a lasting impression.”We have a talented team. There wouldn’t be a question if we achieved 200 today. We did alter things, but only in accordance with the circumstances under which we would play. We were maybe 30 to 40 runs short. This wicket had a lot of seaming, and the DC bowlers bowled incredibly well. The Australian all-rounder Jess Jonassen, who impressed with the bat after hitting her first WPL half-century, also commented on the dual nature of having long gaps in a tournament like this. “Our squad has the potential. If we scored 200 today, then this question wouldn’t be asked. We did make changes, but those were based on the conditions we were going to play. I think we were about 30-40 runs short. The ball was seaming a lot on this pitch, and the DC bowlers bowled really well.”
Both ways are possible. It can be beneficial if you are able to land a winning roll. Conversely, it may have the opposite effect if you lose a string of games. The good news for us is that we have so much experience in the dressing room that we can never be derailed by a single bad night. With a short turnaround, you don’t have time to think about your errors.
