Gujarat Giants vs UP Warriorz in a lopsided race for playoffs
The focus then is on Warriorz, who are in third place and are the only team to beat Mumbai. They can confirm their spot in the playoffs simply by winning one of their last two games or even if they lose their last two games, but by slim margins, and they wouldn’t want to do that.
Gujarat giants (possibly): 1 Sophia Dunkley, 2 Laura Wolvaardt, 3 S Meghana, 4 Ashleigh Gardner, 5 D Hemalatha, 6 Harleen Deol, 7 Ashwani Kumari, 8 Sneh Rana (capt), 9 Sushma Verma (wk), 10 Tanuja Kanwar, 11 Kim Garth
UP Warriorz (possibly): 1 Alyssa Healy (capt & wk), 2 Devika Vaidya, 3 Kiran Navgire, 4 Tahlia McGrath, 5 Grace Harris, 6 Deepti Sharma, 7 Sophie Ecclestone, 8 Simran Shaikh, 9 Parshavi Chopra, 10 Anjali Sarvani, 11 Rajeshwari Gayakwad
“I’ve had a good few weeks since the halfway point of the World Cup, but I think we had a psychologist with us during that tournament and I talked to her a lot. I can.”

“There is no pressure as such, we take it game by game. We focus on ourselves and not what other teams are doing.”
