Gujarat Giants, in return, could not cope with the demanded pace of scoring and were eventually outperformed. The team lost the prime wickets in a queue; Beth Mooney was out at the very beginning of the chase, making just 6 runs.
Harleen Dewal (8 runs) and Gibson (34 runs off 24 balls) made short interventions that couldn’t improve the situation as none of them got the impetus of their starts.
Bharti Phoolmali was the one who brought GG back into the game with a very decent 30 runs off 20 balls. Nevertheless, the repeated failure of wickets cleared their pathway, and Gujarat Giants’ final score was restricted to 166/10, resulting in the loss of the game by 47 runs.
