Toss Gujarat Giants selected to bowl vs Mumbai Indians
Within the WPL knockouts for the primary time, Gujarat Giants needed to cope with a last-minute blow as their star allrounder
Deandra Dottin was dominated out of the sport with an damage 5 minutes earlier than the toss. Giants received the toss, at the very least, and saved with the pattern of opting to bowl, despite the fact that groups batting first have received the final three video games within the league.
Giants handed a WPL debut to England allrounder
Danielle Gibson as a alternative for Dottin. Gibson hasn’t opened the batting for England in T20Is, however, if she opens tonight with Beth Mooney, may draw confidence from opening for London Spirit within the Hundred. Captain Ash Gardner mentioned it was a “fairly cool alternative” for Gibson, and hoped she would “put us in a profitable place with each bat and ball”.
Mumbai made one change as nicely, bringing in
Saika Ishaque for Parunika Sisodia as a like-for-like alternative. Ishaque has performed only one recreation on this WPL, when she leaked 43 runs in three overs in Mumbai’s opening match, in opposition to Delhi Capitals final month. Sisodia went wicketless for Mumbai within the final two matches.
A contemporary pitch is getting used for the Eliminator, and it’s one with slightly little bit of grass on it. Mumbai have a dominating 6-0 report within the WPL in opposition to Giants. Whoever wins tonight will play Delhi Capitals within the ultimate on Sunday on the identical floor.
Mumbai has been seeing a good bit of swing within the three video games right here, and there was some dew as nicely on the Brabourne Stadium.
