- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.6 Dottin strikes! Navgire reviews this straightaway. It's a full length delivery, pace on, pitched on the middle stump and seamed in off the deck to hit her back pad. Navgire loses balance while trying to defend. UltraEdge shows there is a clear gap between bat and pad. Replays show that it would be hitting the leg stump on umpire's call. Navgire has to depart, good decision from the umpire. 22/12.4 Another slog sweep and Vrinda is gone! Wrong delivery to do so, another early wicket for Gardner. Bowls a full length delivery on middle and off, invites the batter to play another slog sweep, the ball spins in a bit, Vrinda misses and Gardner hits the stumps. Warriorz in some early trouble 22/29.6 Straight to Mishra! Chetry didn't time that at all. Another short ball pitched outside off stump, Chetry tries to go over the mid-on fielder but fails. Second wicket of the day for Dottin 73/314.5 The flying Gardner does it and Mishra gets the big fish Deepti! Strange tactics from the Warriorz captain to take on Giants' best bowler in her last over. She sees a tossed up ball and makes room to go inside out over cover. There was no one in the deep there after the previous shot - deep point was in place. But it was the googly, which meant she toe-ended the shot. Now Gardner runs to her right from mid-off, dives full-stretch to hang on. Crucial strike for Giants 101/610.3 Slider and that is a goner! Mishra celebrates but McGrath reviews straightaway! Inside edge? She slipped it in on a length, it skidded on in line of middle and off. McGrath comes forward but then quickly goes back to keep it out. Gets a big inside edge and that saves her. The TV umpire Gayathri Venugopalan just wanted to be a 100% sure and looks at multiple frames. Oh my word! She is convinced it is pad first and rules McGrath out! The split-screen frame with the UltraEdge convinced her that the ball hit the pad first before hitting the bat. Looked otherway round in the first instance but ended up being a verrryy close call 74/410.5 Mishra castles Harris and celebrates wildly! Flights this one after bowling the previous one flatter, enticing Harris to go for the big shot. She goes for the slog across the line, misses it completely on the inside edge and sees the stumps light up. Massive wicket this because she was the Player of the Match in two of the last three contests against Giants. Gujarat taking Giant strides at taking full control of the contest 78/515.6 Slows it down and gets the reward! Tossed up on a fullish length just outside off, 83.7kph, Sehrawat once again goes back instead of coming forward. Pushes at it away from the body, the ball skids on and takes the inside edge and goes onto the stumps 111/717.5 Castled! Ecclestone swings across the line again and loses leg. Angled in on a length at 106.5kph, it was the cross-seam one as well. She's a stronger bowler after coming back from injury and gets her first of the game 117/819.6 Tossed up outside off, skies the sweep towards backward square leg. They hare back for the non-existent second. Shaikh fires a flat throw to Mooney, who does the rest. Warriorz finish on 143 for 9, a total they will be satisfied with given where they were 143/9Extras3 (w 3)TOTAL143/9 (20 Overs, RR: 7.15)Did not bat: K GoudFall of wickets: 1-22 (Kiran Navgire, 1.6 ov), 2-22 (Dinesh Vrinda, 2.4 ov), 3-73 (Uma Chetry, 9.6 ov), 4-74 (Tahlia McGrath, 10.3 ov), 5-78 (Grace Harris, 10.5 ov), 6-101 (Deepti Sharma, 14.5 ov), 7-111 (Shweta Sehrawat, 15.6 ov), 8-117 (Sophie Ecclestone, 17.5 ov), 9-143 (Saima Thakor, 19.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR8.3 Ecclestone gets the better of Wolvaardt! Pitches this up on off and middle, quicker, it spins in a bit. Wolvaardt is stuck on the crease trying to hit this across and she gets beaten on pace. The ball crashes on to her middle stump 57/30.4 Harris strikes! Soft dismissal for Mooney. Harris bowls a full toss from around the wicket and she heaves this straight to McGrath at mid-on. She is visibly disappointed 1/11.3 Ecclestone is ecstatic! Hemalatha is cleaned up. Another missed opportunity for her. Ecclestone bowls a full length ball around off stump, Hemalatha stays back and looks to slice it but ends up inside-edging this one on to the stumps 2/211.5 A wicket against the run of play! A nothing ball really. Gardner is fuming as she walks back. McGrath digs it in, angles it down leg, it is the offcutter. Gardner could have pulled it wherever she wanted but finds short fine leg to perfection. A big breakthrough this, can Warriorz claw back from here? 58 needed off 49 86/4Extras3 (lb 1, w 2)TOTAL144/4 (18 Overs, RR: 8)Fall of wickets: 1-1 (Beth Mooney, 0.4 ov), 2-2 (Dayalan Hemalatha, 1.3 ov), 3-57 (Laura Wolvaardt, 8.3 ov), 4-86 (Ashleigh Gardner, 11.5 ov)
