2025 Women's Premier League 14 Feb-25 March

[NYRB]

Wareham shouldn't be batting 7 or higher, and Garth 8 or higher in any T20 batting lineup. They are good for game where it might come off here or there but they aren't consistent enough to do it on a regular occassion.

Still shake at my head at how Australia used her as a pinch hitter in last years semis.

 

[NYRB]

RCB post 125/7 , with Wareham struggling tonight with bat. That is RCBs equal lowest score in WPL.

 

[NYRB]

And GG do that in a canter with 21 balls to spare and 6 wickets in hand. The win however doesn't lift them off the bottom of the ladder.

How many matches does each team play

How many matches does each team play

8 games each.

 

[CURVE]

With the bat at least, Gujurat appear to be a one women team.

 

[cats_09]

Good to see Mooney find some form

Game 16:

UP Warriorz Women (Playing XI): Grace Harris, Kiran Navgire, Georgia Voll, Vrinda Dinesh, Deepti Sharma(c), Shweta Sehrawat, Uma Chetry(w), Chinelle Henry, Sophie Ecclestone, Gouher Sultana, Kranti Goud

Mumbai Indians Women (Playing XI): Yastika Bhatia(w), Hayley Matthews, Nat Sciver-Brunt, Harmanpreet Kaur(c), Amelia Kerr, Sajeevan Sajana, G Kamalini, Amanjot Kaur, Sanskriti Gupta, Shabnim Ismail, Parunika Sisodia



Mumbai Indians Women have won the toss and have opted to field

 

[NYRB]

Georgia Voll continuing on from her good Australian summer, she has looked a better bat than her former colleague at Brisbane in Grace Harris.

 

[NYRB]

Hate to call people names but this is my last tweet about the coach of UPWarriorz . Jon Lewis is an absolute clown who should be sacked of the coaching position he hold & should never get another one by not sending in Chinelle Henry up the order. Its beyond farcical!

 

[NYRB]

Have to embarrass Vrinda Dinesh for being a professional cricketer. She don’t even have the power to clear 30 yard circle

 

[NYRB]

Deepti isn't as confident batting and hitting shots on the offside I noticed. With her its onside or nutter.

 

[NYRB]

Ecclestone should be batting higher than Uma Chetry.

Henry should be batting higher than Deepti Sharma.

Deepti isn't a top 6 bat and with her she has no offside game with the bat. Very 1 dimensional for me.

 

[NYRB]

Grace Harris' confidence is down in the field as well.

 

[cats_09]

0, 55 and now 99*

Voll is putting herself in a good position to pick up a few tournament contacts with these efforts

 

[NYRB]

Game 20:

​

Teams:

Royal Challengers Bengaluru Women (Playing XI): Sabbhineni Meghana, Smriti Mandhana(c), Ellyse Perry, Richa Ghosh(w), Kanika Ahuja, Georgia Wareham, Heather Graham, Sneh Rana, Kim Garth, Prema Rawat, Joshitha VJ

Mumbai Indians Women (Playing XI): Hayley Matthews, Amelia Kerr, Nat Sciver-Brunt, Harmanpreet Kaur(c), Amanjot Kaur, Yastika Bhatia(w), Sajeevan Sajana, G Kamalini, Sanskriti Gupta, Shabnim Ismail, Parunika Sisodia


Mumbai Indians Women have won the toss and have opted to field

 

[NYRB]

Just pride up on the line for RCB in Game 20 of the tournament.

A MI win and they go straight to the Final.

 

[NYRB]

Well from my 1st post, it turns out the top 3 I predicted to make the Finals was right.

And I think there is a chance that Trifecta may happen with Mumbai v Gujarat as the Qualifier this Friday. Winner will go on to play Delhi on Sunday.

 

[NYRB]

No Dottin tonight

Mumbai Indians Women (Playing XI): Hayley Matthews, Amelia Kerr, Nat Sciver-Brunt, Harmanpreet Kaur(c), Amanjot Kaur, Yastika Bhatia(w), Sajeevan Sajana, G Kamalini, Sanskriti Gupta, Shabnim Ismail, Saika Ishaque



Gujarat Giants Women (Playing XI): Beth Mooney(w), Kashvee Gautam, Harleen Deol, Ashleigh Gardner(c), Phoebe Litchfield, Danielle Gibson, Bharti Fulmali, Simran Shaikh, Tanuja Kanwar, Meghna Singh, Priya Mishra

Gujarat Giants Women have won the toss and have opted to field

 

[NYRB]

Mumbai post 213 in the Qualifier and that was an impressive batting unit against Gujarat.

 

[NYRB]

With Litchfield gone, its going to be a long road back for Gujarat now. Need over 100 runs with 5 wickets in hand

 

[NYRB]

and its Mumbai v Delhi in the Grand Final on the weekend.

 

[cats_09]

While they had a couple of good innings each, got to think that overall, Mooney &Gardner would be a little disappointed in their seasons for Gujarat, while Litchfield never really got going for them

Gardner had a very bright start to the season with a 79* & 52, and seemed she the captaincy was working for her. From there she had only 1 further score over 25, when she scored 58, but come seasons end she had as many single digit scores as she did 50s

Mooney was even more disappointing, she started with 56, mid season scored a then equal WPL high of 96* & if not for her own selflessness she could have scored the first century in the comp. Her only other score of note was a 44 the next innings, but she had 4 single digit scores in there

And Litchfield is one who looks like she's been found out over the summer, and hasn't really been and to go on with things in any innings - been able to get a starts but not go on to have that big score for Australia or now Gujarat


I'm not sure how much player movement we really see in the WPL, but wonder if teams will be looking a little wider for next season, as not sure the Aussies who've been playing this season have necessarily had the impact of previous seasons

 

[NYRB]

Mumabi ended up winning the title against Delhi. Defended a fairly mid range total.

Delhi will rue the one that got away.

Jess Jonassen has now lost 7 finals in a row in franchise cricket I believe. Good thing it's all pretty meaningless stuff in the end.
