WPL 2023: Team-wise opening combination for 2nd edition
In the upcoming WPL season, all franchises will look to go with settled opening combinations to fare well.
3. Gujarat Giants- Beth Mooney and Laura Wolvaardt
Gujarat Giants (GG) missed their skipper and ferocious opener Beth Mooney in the last season. After Mooney’s exit from the tournament due to a hamstring injury, Dunkley and Meghana couldn’t justify their roles in the team. Laura Wolvaardt also played four matches as an opener and looked impressive with her bat.
GG parted ways with Meghana and Dunkley before the 2024 auction and now they might assign Wolvaardt the task to open the innings with skipper Mooney in the second WPL edition. The South Africa opener looked extraordinary with her bat in the 2023-24 Women’s Big Bash League (WBBL).
In Adelaide Strikers’ title victory, she chipped in with 402 runs in 15 games at a strike rate of 108.64. Mooney also performed brilliantly with her bat in the Australian league, notching up 557 runs in 15 contests at a strike rate of 143.18. Noting both openers’ performances, Gujarat supporters will be excited to witness them in the second WPL season.
