Delhi bowlers did wonders
Along with the batting of Delhi Capitals, the bowling was also excellent. While bowling brilliantly, Marijne Kapp took the news of the Gujarat Giants batsmen fiercely. He made a punch of wickets by giving 15 runs in 4 overs of bowling. That is, he sent five batsmen of Gujarat to the pavilion. He made Sabbhineni Meghna, Laura Volward, Harleen Deol, Ash Gardner and Sushma Verma victims. Shikha Pandey took three wickets and Radha Yadav took one wicket to restrict Gujarat’s innings to 105 runs.
Gujarat Giants’ performance was very flexible
Neither the batting nor the bowling of Gujarat Giants was good. Kim Garth scored the most runs for Gujarat. He played an inning of 32 runs facing 37 balls. Georgia Wareham scored 22 runs. Harleen Deol played an inning of 20 runs. Apart from this, no batsman could score more than 15 runs. While the bowlers also did not do anything special today. This is the reason why Gujarat Giants had to face a crushing defeat by 10 wickets.
