Gujarat Giants climbed to fourth position in the WPL 2023 points table after a 11-run win against the Royal Challengers Bangalore earlier today (Wednesday, March 8).

Harleen Deol and Sophia Dunkley were the stars of the night for the Ahmedabad-based franchise. Playing in the top-order of the Gujarat Giants team, Harleen and Sophia smacked a half-century each. Their brilliant knocks guided the Giants to 201/7 in their 20 overs.

Chasing 202 runs for their first win in WPL 2023, the Royal Challengers Bangalore took the game to the final overs. Opener Sophie Devine scored a 45-ball 66 to take RCB closer to the target. However, they eventually fell short by 11 runs.

RCB needed 24 runs off the last six balls and Gujarat Giants handed the ball to Annabel Sutherland for the last over. Shreyanka Patil smacked a six and a four in the over, but her efforts were not enough.
