Gujarat Giants have inked their first win of the WPL against Royal Challengers Bangalore in a contest where batters dominated the proceedings. After Gujarat won the toss and opted to bat, Sophia Dunkley proved her captain’s decision right with a blistering knock. She led the batting unit scoring 65 runs from just 28 balls including three sixes in the knock. Harleen Deol was another star in the show as she amassed 67 runs from 45 balls. Thanks to the carnage from these two, Gujarat posted a total of 201/7 in the first innings. 

Sophie Devine was brilliant for RCB during the chase but her valiant knock of 66 runs from 45 balls went in vain as they lost the game by 11 runs. Ashleigh Gardner was superb for Gujarat taking three wickets for 31 runs while Annabel Sutherland chipped in with a couple of wickets, They restricted RCB to 190/6 in the end and orchestrated an 11-run win.
