Renuka Singh Thakur bowled a brilliant opening spell as well, picking two wickets for just 14 runs in her four overs. Dayalan Hemalatha was the top scorer for the Giants with an unbeaten 31.

Harleen Deol (15), Veda Krishnamurthy (8); Ellyse Perry 1-0-8-0

 

Six!! First of the match and it has come courtesy of Veda against Ellyse Perry and on the very next ball, she has been declared caught out. She goes for the review, but does not look confident. 

 

The length was a bit pulled back and the review shows that the bat had hit the pads and not the ball and Veda survives. Not a good day for the umpires so far, two reviews and both of them have gone against them.

Veda Krishnamurthy is the new batter in and she gets a pearler from Renukla which pitches on middle and leaves the better in the shape of a banana. What a spell from Thakur as she concedes only 14 in her four overs and takes two wickets as well.
