GG vs RCB Live Cricket Score WPL 2023 Updates: Harleen Deol Leads Gujarat Giants' Charge Against RCB

Heather Knight with the golden arm again! She removes Dayalan Hemalatha courtesy of a leading edge that is easily pouched by Renuka Singh Thakur at short third. Hemalartha goes for 16 off 7. GG 157/4 in 15.3 – Strategic timeout taken

In-form batter Dayalan Hemalatha comes to the crease and starts with a bang! A slog sweep for SIX off her second delivery. Preeti Bose’s start to her 3rd over is not a good one. Add to that another FOUR – a square cut for FOUR and then ends the over with another FOUR towards extra cover. 150 up for Gujarat Giants. GG 152/3 in 15

ASh Gardner was looking in ominous touch and along with Harleen Deol had combined for a 50-run stand for the 3td wicket; but Heather Knight came to the rescue as she foxes Gardner with a straighter one in her first over itself and Richa Ghosh does the rest behind the stumps with an easy stumping

Harleen Deol in the act now as he takes a SIX and FOUR off Meghan Schutt. Clears the square leg boundary for the SI and then picks up a slower one for the FOUR. GG 120/2 in 12 

Renuka Singh Takhur’s day isn’t getting any better. She concedes 10 runs off her third over with Harleen Deol and Ash Gardner taking one boundary each. 100 up for Gujarat Giants also. GG 107/2 in 11

Shreyanka Patil, right-arm off break, comes into the attack and tough job on her hands. A big run out chance missed by Renuka – Harleen would have been out by a mile had Thakur hit the stumps at the non-strikers’ end or could have easily tossed the ball to the bowler. Dunkley takes a SIX and FOUR , but she falls in the same over, caught at long-off. Big blow for GG. Dunkley goes for 65.

Renuka Singh back for her 2nd over after the break and Harleen Deol in the act now and takes baounday. 7 runs off the over. GG 71/1 in 7 

Smriti Mandhana goes back to Ellyse Perry and Sophia Dunkley smashes it wide of fine leg – another FOUR, but Perry does well to finish the over with just 5 runs. End of powerplay overs. GG 64/1 in 6. Dunkley 54* off 22; Harleen Deol 2* off 3    

Left-arm spinner Preeti Bose in to the attack and the runs continue to flow. Big headache for Smriti Mandhana this as Sophia Dunkley seems to have found her range. 4, 6, 4 ,4 , 4 – BRUTAL. FIFTY for Dunkley. GG 59/1 in 5 

Renuka Sinh Thakur replaces Ellyse Perry, but to no avail for RCB skipper Smirit Mandhana. It’s an expensive over for the Indian international as Sophia Dunkley takes two boundaries and one beautiful SIX over extra cover. 14 runs off the over. GG 36/1 in 4

Poor over from Meghan Schutt turns to a good one as she ends with a wicket – Three boundaries though came in the over. She wa wayward in this over – with couple of deliveries with room and Sophia Dunkley taking two boundaries square of the wicket and Meghana then drove one past mid-off. But Schutt came back well with a back of length delivery coming in and Meghana went for a cur short -Richa Ghosh makes no mistake this time. GG 22/1 in 3 

Ellyse Perry with the new ball and Sophia Dunkley has the first runs for Gujarat with an enterprising scoop shot behind the wicketkeeper. Dunkley picked up the length ball from outside off and with the fine leg up, that shot was on and Dunkey gets it right. Edge off the final delivery , but  Meghana survives. Richa Ghosh grasses a rather tough one diving to her right. Another boundary. 9 runs off the over. GG 9/0 in 2 

Well well, what do we have here: First over to Meghan Schutt paying off for RCB. The Australian starts with a maiden to Meghana. GG 0/0 in 1 

Meghan Schutt has the new ball– finally! – RCB have got this right tonight. Sabbhineni Meghanaon strike for Gujarat Giants and Sophia Dunkley is at the non-striker’s end

Gujarat Giants captain Sneh Rana won the toss and elected to bat first. Rana mentioned it is a used pitch hence the decision. They are unchanged. RCB skipper Smriti Mandhana said she also wanted to bat first, but observed it is a flat deck

The two captains – Sneh Rana and Smriti Mandhana are out in the middle. Toss coming …
