Grace Harris and Sophie Ecclestone Power UP Warriorz to Six-Wicket Victory Over Gujarat Giants in WPL Clash

As the 2024 Women’s Premier League (WPL) nears its halfway point, the UP Warriorz, who began the competition with two losses, are gradually getting back on track with their big stars clicking. The team captained by Alyssa Healy defeated Gujarat Giants by six wickets at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Friday. Sophie Ecclestone wove a web with the ball, and Grace Harris dominated at the bat.

The Giants, who placed fifth and last in 2023, were unable to score in this season as well. Chasing 143, the Warriorz reached the goal with 4.2 overs remaining. In the WPL, the Warriors also made sure they continued to be undefeated against the Giants.

Warriorz’ Spin Mastery and Ecclestone’s Brilliance Stifle Giants’ Momentum

The world’s top T20I batsman, Laura Wolvaardt (28 off 26), and chief Beth Mooney (16 off 16), set up a languid yet strong beginning for the Goliaths. In any case, spinner Chamari Athapaththu (4-0-19-0) kept them from scoring quick, with only 41 runs being made in the initial six overs.Although Harleen Deol (18 off 24) got some margin to get comfortable, her 27 minutes at the wrinkle didn’t bring about a huge score as she was gotten as the strain expanded.

The Warriorz bowlers were outstanding, preventing the Giants from gathering momentum. Ecclestone (3/20), a left-arm orthodox bowler, was the standout performer. With two vital wickets, the spinner further slowed down the Giants by taking out both openers. From the eighth to the tenth over, there were no boundaries thanks to two new batsmen at the crease.
