Top Bowlers

Right then, that's it from our coverage of this game. Gujarat will face off against UP in their next encounter on Monday, the 20th. The first ball will be bowled at 3.30 pm local time (10.00 am GMT), but as you all know, you can join in early for the built-up. Until then, take care and goodbye from us!

Sophie Devine is the Player of the Match for her 99 and gets the Orange Cap. She says that she is happy to beat Meg Lanning and get the orange cap. She says that the balls were in her slot and was happy to take her chances. Adds that she was not worried about the milestones but wanted to get her side home earlier. Says that she still keeps wishing that they can qualify for the playoffs. Credits the bowlers to keep Gujarat to a par total as the conditions were not easy for the bowlers. Closes by saying that the one that ended in the top tier was the favorite of all her sixes.

Smriti Mandhana, the Bangalore skipper is up for a chat. She says that they took a lot of confidence from the last game. Adds that they kept Gujarat to a par total on a good batting surface. Lauds Sophie Devine for the way she was hitting the ball and made it like a smallish total and did the job easy for her. Mentions that some of the sixes were really massive. Credits her team who have been positive through the season and the improvements have gradually come in all the departments of the game. Closes by saying that she had doubts initially but the back-to-back wins has given her confidence that they have a brilliant side.

Time for Presentations...

Ellyse Perry is up for a chat She says that It would be amazing if they could just speak about Sophie Devine. Says that she is happy to be on the same team as Devine. Adds that She is a pretty unique player, and not many players can do it. Mentions that Sophie Devine is a team player. Adds that they have had some difficulty establishing themselves in the competition. Closes by saying that she is glad to see Smriti Mandhana get among runs and happy with the way Sophie Devine played today.

Gujarat skipper Sneh Rana is up for a chat She says that she is short of words right now, but adds that this is what it is and it's a game of cricket. Mentions that it was a good total on this pitch to defend but they didn't bowl up to the mark that cost them. Adds that they thought of continuing with the momentum and that's why sent Sabbineni Meghana as she is an explosive batter. Closes by saying that they will get out of it and shall come back stronger in the next match.

Earlier in the day, Gujarat got to a fine score of 188 on the back of Laura Wolvaardt's fine fifty and handy knocks from Sabbineni Meghana and Ashleigh Gardner. Harleen Deol and Dayalan Hemalatha gave the finishing touches but it wasn't enough for the day. Shreyanka Patil was the pick of the bowlers for the Bangalore side. We have witnessed a Sophie Devine storm at the Brabourne and this has certainly lit up the Women's Premier League.

Not much to talk about the Gujarat bowling. They were taken to cleaners all around the park and had no answer to Sophie Devine's power-hitting. Kim Garth and Sneh Rana were the pick of the bowlers as they took a wicket each. The rest of the bowlers went over 15 runs to the over and had a poor day in the field. The road becomes difficult now for the Gujarat side going ahead and they have lost their fifth game and are languishing at the bottom of the table.

A thumping win for Bangalore as they beat Gujarat by 8 wickets with over 4 overs to spare. Chasing 189, Sophie Devine and Smriti Mandhana got their side to a rocketing start as they made 77 inside the powerplay. The duo put on 125 inside the 10 overs before Smriti Mandhana was dismissed for 37. Sophie Devine was in fantastic form tonight as she bludgeoned 99 off 36 balls with 9 fours and 8 biggies. Ellyse Perry and Heather Knight completed the final formalities and took their side over the line with 27 balls to spare.
