3 reasons why Gujarat Giants Women can win inaugural WPL season

1. Solid Indian core

Gujarat Giants have the likes of Harleen Deol, Sneh Rana, Sabbhineni Meghana, and Dayalan Hemalatha in their ranks. These cricketers have proven their mettle in the international arena in the past and could take the Women’s Premier League 2023 by storm with their performances.

Harleen has already displayed her class in the clash against Royal Challengers Bangalore. She took the attack to the opposition right from the get-go and hammered the opposition all across the park, notching up 67 runs off 45 deliveries. Hemalatha has also been brilliant with the bat thus far in the tournament and has smashed 66 runs in three games at a strike rate of 153.48.

Though Gujarat’s stand-in skipper Rana and Meghana, have not been their best, they have the prowess to thrive in WPL 2023. Besides the Indian quartet, the Giants have wicketkeeper-batter Sushma Verma and fast-bowler Mansi Joshi in their arsenal, who have considerable experience of playing in the international circuit and know how to thrive on the big stage. The presence of so many players in the team with such standards is one of the strengths of the Gujarat franchise.
