On “Match Center Live,” JioCinema and Sports18 WPL analyst Reema Malhotra talked about Grace Harris’s (60* runs) form and Gujarat’s dismal start to the season. Deepti Sharma also discussed the course of the game. The UP Warriors defeated the Gujarat Giants by six wickets on Friday at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru, giving them their second straight victory in the WPL 2024. The Warriorz took 15.4 overs to successfully hunt down the target of 143.
“Obviously our win over Mumbai because it was our first win of the season,” said Deepti Sharma when asked about the most significant victory of the season thus far. Mumbai is also a positive aspect. Your confidence increases with each stronger squad you defeat.”
About teamwork, Sharma says, “We have complete faith in each other.” We think that even in the event that we lose, we can still win. That was our plan: a good team battles and advances forward. Our goal was to take what we had learned from the first two games and apply it to the future. At the same time, we move forward with the things we are doing well.”
Reema Malhotra on the Gujarat Giants’ poor performance: “You’ll run into problems if you can’t make alliances. You’re batting first, but you were unable to form a collaboration. With a flimsy foundation, how will you construct a monument? A total of 140–150 won’t put any side under strain on the Chinnaswamy field, where runs may be scored and the ground is small. In actuality, pressure will be released. For the Gujarat Giants, this is a headache. They have hitters on their roster, but they want runs and form. The ship is sinking; who will save it? Reassigning duties is necessary, in my opinion. You anticipate great performances from big players, but they also need to be able to deliver.”
Malhotra: “Those who appear to be the favorites are the UP Warriorz and Grace Harris.
” Grace Harris’s beautiful batting is the best thing going for her and the UP Warriorz. She’s making terrific shots, knowing that she needs to win the match as well as establish it. She is fulfilling the role that has been assigned to her. A match-winning player is a full match-winner if they possess the ability to bat at any strike rate and perform effectively against pacers and spinners. In the middle and death overs, Grace Harris exemplifies effective batting.
