STRATEGIC BREAK! Delhi Capitals are all over the Giants here. Nothing has worked for GG so far, but the only positive for them is that Beth Mooney is still out there and will need to stay as long as possible. They are in desperate need of partnerships that will help them get to a fighting total because it is not an easy wicket to bat on. The Capitals do not need to do anything different, they know that the pressure is already on the batting side, and they just have to keep it like that, and the opportunities will arise for them. Also, Georgia Wareham joins Mooney out in the middle now. GG needs these two to step up big time.
Minnu Mani to Kanika Ahuja, OUT! STUMPED! Kanika Ahuja runs out of patience and loses her wicket. Mani offers flight, on a nagging length, on off. Kanika shimmies down the pitch, but like the previous ball, she is unable to get to the pitch of the ball. Moreover, she stays leg side of the ball, and there is no second line of defence. She swings to go against the turn, but the ball lands and spins past her blade, and the keeper, Lizelle Lee, does the rest. Ahuja tried to turn around and plonk her bat in, but Lee was quick enough to whip the bails off. Ahuja departs cheaply. Gujarat Giants are now 59/4.
