Saika Ishaque is being replaced by Parunika. Kamilini is playing as well. At the toss, Harmanpreet said, “They are really driven, and [I am] excited to play with them.”
“First, we’re going to bowl. Bowling first is crucial for the first six overs, and we want to take advantage of it. We are facing two debutants today, and we played excellent cricket, staying in the game till the very end.
In a like-for-like swap, Sisodia replaced Saika Ishaque, the WPL’s top wicket-taker among Indian players who have competed in the competition till the start of the current match.
In her team’s first match of the season, the crafty left-arm spinner failed to find her length. In a match that went right down to the wire, she ended up going wicketless after giving up 43 runs in the three overs she bowled.
However, the Gujarat Giants Women, captained by Ashleigh Gardner, selected the same starting lineup as in their last match.
“We also planned to go bowling. We are aware that defending here is difficult. We scored 200 in the first game, which is a very defendable amount. If we can score that much tonight, there’s no reason why we can’t defend. “We’re using the same lineup,” Gardner said.
Laura Wolvaardt, Beth Mooney (wk), Dayalan Hemalatha, Ashleigh Gardner (c), Harleen Deol, Deandra Dottin, Simran Shaikh, Tanuja Kanwar, Sayali Satghare, Kashvee Gautam, and Priya Mishra are the Gujarat Giants women’s playing XIs.
G. Kamalini, Amelia Kerr, Sajeevan Sajana, Amanjot Kaur, Sanskriti Gupta, Shabnim Ismail, Parunika Sisodia, Hayley Matthews, Harmanpreet Kaur (c), Yastika Bhatia (wk), and Nat Sciver-Brunt are the women of the Mumbai Indians.
