Aggressive Start Smiti Mandhane broke the precision of Ashleigh Gardner
Mandhana came out with the intention, hitting two sharp boundaries early to signal an attacking approach to the RCB of their terrifying chase 202. However, Gardner, leading a gujarat on the front, produced a master class in bowling, cutting the RCB captain’s stay.
At just the second delivery of the match, Gardner bought the ball for the back that threw herself on the stump and skipped sharply with the angle.

Danni Wyatt-Hamge falls next, middle degree flattered
RCB, who was already angry with the early departure of his captain, had no time to recover before Gardner hit again, dismantling Danni Wyatt-Hamge this time. The English opener just opened his account with the border and wanted to settle down, but Gardner’s relentless accuracy did not allow her that luxury.
At the last ball of the same, Gardner delivered a sliding, full ball that was targeting Pamp. Wyatt-Hamge, in an attempt to sweep, surrendered too soon to shoot without approaching the ball ground. The result was catastrophic – she completely missed, and the ball collapsed into the middle stump, sending her flying.
As the bail set on fire and the stitch became rooted, Wyatt-Hodge could only look back in despair before walking in just 4 of 4 balls. Giants Gujarat broke out in the celebration, and Gardner, with the figures 2/2 at the end of his first one, completely turned the match on his head. Since both openers were fired in fast inheritance, the RCB chase for 201 suffered a huge early downtime, leaving them a huge medium -row recovery to stay in the game.
