WPL 2023: Best Overseas XI from first week
Certain overseas cricketers brought their A-game into play in the first week of WPL 2023.
9. Kim Garth
Kim Garth has been a consistent performer in the international circuit. She has bagged 43 wickets in 54 matches at an economy of 5.92 and scored 762 runs at an average of 23.09. The 26-year-old has taken 23 wickets at an economy of 4.40 and scored 450 runs in those outings.
Kim Garth was outstanding for Gujarat Giants in the first week of the Women’s Premier League 2023. In the encounter against UP Warriorz in the third match of the marquee tournament, defending the target of 170, she made the ball talk at the start of the innings and sent Alyssa Healy, Shweta Sehrawat, and Tahila McGrath back into the hut.
Then the right-arm pacer took two more scalps in the middle phases of the innings to put up her team in a strong position. However, her astonishing five-wicket haul was not enough for Gujarat to trump UP as the latter side won the game by three wickets. The Gujarat franchise would hope Kim plays in the same vein going ahead into the high-profile competition.
