At the M.Chinnaswamy Stadium, Royal Challengers Bangalore defeated Gujarat Giants in the 2024 Women’s Premier League season. The Gujarat Giants are optimistic in their potential to recover and have an impact on the competition, despite their losses.
After Smriti Mandhana sent them in to bat, the Giants endured early setbacks as their leaders, Beth Mooney and Phoebe Litchfield, were quickly removed from the game. Despite Harleen Deol’s efforts, the Gujarat Giants were unable to sustain their momentum as they lost wickets frequently. On the other hand, one encouraging aspect was Dayalan Hemalatha’s 31 contributions. Sophie Molineux and Renuka Thakur of RCB made an impact with the ball, claiming significant wickets.
RCB skipper Smriti Mandhana responded by leading from the front, giving her team a great start. Despite losing Sophie Devine’s wicket, they maintained control, with Mandhana giving an outstanding effort and scoring her greatest WPL total. Tanuja Kanwer removed Mandhana, but the damage had already been done, and RCB won with eight wickets in hand. Sabbhineni Meghana, a Gujarat Giants alumni, backed up her half-century in the first game with an unbeaten 36 in this one.
The Gujarat Giants’ loss was upsetting, but they are committed to better in our forthcoming contests. The Gujarat Giants will face the UP Warriors in their next game on Friday at the same stadium.
