WPL 2025, Match 12th: RCB vs GG: Captains’ Corner
Over the last couple of games we didn’t bat the way wanted to. Credit to the bowlers tonight, particularly TK (Tanuja Kanwar) and Kashvee. Chasing a low total also gives you the freedom to play your shots and be positive. It’s really nice, that first game we should have won (against RCB). But that’s cricket, people can outplay you. Today we quietened the crowd, which people want to do here. It’s just the trend of the WPL for now (of chasing), without much dew. The game against DC there was a lot of seam movement so it was a challenging wicket. But today was a lot nicer and flat.
Ashleigh Gardner(Gujarat Giants Captain) said post-match
don’t think we batted well in the powerplay, including myself. We tried too hard and didn’t read the conditions well. We tried to get 170-180 but the wicket was a lot different than the other games. (Third loss in a row) the first two games we still played well but ended up losing, but today’s loss will really hurt us because of all three departments. But we have to take it and we have to take these things in our stride. All three departments we want to improve, not just one. As a team we all have to step up, last three games we haven’t played our best game and need to come back stronger. (On Kanika Ahuja and Raghvi Bist) they’ve done well in domestic cricket. Kanika missed out last year and Raghu has a really good head on her shoulders.
