On February 16, you need Sophie Ecclestone, your greatest spinner, to be at her peak in order to defend 144. With an early wicket to dismiss Gujarat Giants’ No. 3 Dayalan Hemalatha, the English left-arm spinner did not let anyone down.
Warriorz captain Deepti Sharma, however, sent the ball back to Sophie Ecclestone,
The top bowler in the Women’s Premier League (WPL), as Ashleigh Gardner and Laura Wolvaardt were stroking it around the ground. After bowling tight lines, the left-arm spinner gave Wolvaardt no space at all and castled him.

The South African batter was disqualified for the sixth time against Ecclestone, continuing the unfavourable matchup. The English all-rounder already has 29 WPL wickets, and she has a good chance of becoming the first bowler to take 30 in league history.
