2. Kim Garth vs UP Warrioz (4-0-36-5)

Gujarat Giants faced UP Warriorz in the third match of the 2023 season of WPL. After electing to bat first, the Gujarat franchise posted a competitive total of 169 runs on the board. Harleen Deol was the top scorer for the Giants, smashing 46 runs off 32 deliveries while Sophie Ecclestone and Deepti Sharma were sensational with the ball for UP, bagging two wickets each.

Defending 170, ace all-rounder Kim Garth made the ball talk and ripped through UP’s batting line-up. He bowled a remarkable third over, getting rid of Alyssa Healy, Shweta Sehrawat and Tahila McGrath inside six deliveries to leave the Warriorz reeling at 20 for 3.

UP recovered from the perilous situation, courtesy of the sensational half-century from Kiran Navgire. However, Garth got rid of her and also Simran Shaikh in the 13th over to bring Gujarat back into a superior position. But Garth’s valiant effort went in vain as Grace Harris hammered 59* runs off 26 balls to take Healy & Co. across the line.
