Gujarat Giants dominate UP Warriorz with a ball

Deandra Dottin made an immediate impact with the ball for Gujarat Giants, delivering a stunning dismissal to send Georgia Voll back for a duck in her debut Women’s Premier League (WPL) game. The UP Warriorz opener, who was expected to provide solidity at the top, had no answer to Dottin’s brilliance as she fell in just the first over of the innings.

The dramatic moment unfolded on the fifth delivery of the over when Dottin bowled a full-length delivery with an angled seam outside off. The ball swung in late, deceiving Voll completely as she attempted an ambitious drive away from her body. However, she misjudged the movement, leaving a gap between the bat and the pad. The ball snuck through the gap and clattered into the stumps, lighting them up in spectacular fashion.

Dottin’s celebration was just as fiery as her delivery, as she pumped her fists in excitement, giving the Giants the perfect start to the game. Voll, meanwhile, had a disappointing outing on debut, walking back with a dejected expression after scoring 0 off 3 balls. The early breakthrough jolted the Warriorz, who were already struggling at 2/1 before Voll’s wicket made it 2/2. Dottin had earlier removed Kiran Navgire as well, putting immense pressure on the hosts in their first game at home. With momentum on Gujarat’s side, they will now look to capitalize on this fiery start and tighten their grip on the contest.

The Giants took firm control of the match against the Warriorz with a sensational all-round performance at the Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow. Batting first, Giants posted a daunting total of 186/5, thanks to a magnificent unbeaten knock from Beth Mooney. The Australian wicketkeeper-batter played a near-perfect innings, scoring 96 off just 59 balls, hitting 17 boundaries to anchor Gujarat’s innings.

Harleen Deol provided solid support with a fluent 45 off 32 balls, forging a 101-run partnership with Mooney for the second wicket. Despite losing quick wickets towards the death overs, Deandra Dottin’s quickfire 17 off 8 balls gave the Giants an explosive finish. Sophie Ecclestone was the pick of the bowlers for UP Warriorz, taking 2/34 in her four-over spell, while Kranti Goud and Chinelle Henry chipped in with a wicket each.

Chasing 187, the Warriorz got off to a nightmare start, losing four wickets within the first six overs. Dottin rattled the top order with a fiery spell, dismissing Navgire for a golden duck and shattering Voll’s stumps for a duck as well. Kashvee Gautam and Meghna Singh joined the party, further dismantling the Warriorz lineup by removing Dinesh Vrinda and skipper Deepti Sharma. By the end of the powerplay, the Warriorz were struggling at 29/4, requiring 158 runs from 84 balls at an asking rate of 11.28. With the Giants in a dominant position, the Warriorz will need a miraculous effort to turn things around in this one-sided contest.
