"Credit goes to the bowlers"- GG captain Ashleigh Gardner after win vs RCB in WPL 2025 clash

At the post-match presentation, GG skipper Ashleigh Gardner reflected on the win against RCB, saying:

"Over the last couple of games we have not batted as would have liked to but credit goes to the bowlers, particularly TK (Tanuja), Kashwee and it is nice to chase such a low score, you can get into your innings and play your shots. We should have won the first game but that is cricket, people can outplay you. We quietened the crowd, that's what people want to do when they get here. It is the trend of WPL at the moment (chasing)."

She added:

"It is nice to not have a lot of dew. The wickets has shown it has had quite a lot in it. In the game against Delhi Capitals, it was a green wicket and it moved around a lot. We spoke about getting better with the bat, we just lost one in the powerplay even though we were not going at tens. Pleased to see the batters go about their job. Bowlers are doing a fantastic job, we want to keep putting points on the board."

DC and MI will lock horns in the 13th match of WPL 2025 on Friday (February 28) at the same venue.
