Giants win = UP Warriorz eliminated. RCB find themselves in a spot of bother as well. They now need to win their remaining (two) fixtures, and also improve their NRR while at it. As for Mumbai (2 games left) and Gujarat (one game left), one win is all they need to seal a spot in the playoffs. Just 3 league games left and 3 teams in contention for 2 spots. Plenty of excitement in store then. Do remember to tune in for all those games. Cheers and goodbye for now!!
Harleen Deol | Player of the Match: Very pleased. I was trying to play till the end, I knew that there were plenty of big-hitters to come. When you bat with Beth is is very easy, she hits boundaries and takes singles as well. You just have to be alert because she is very alert while taking singles and you just have to close your eyes and run. When you bat with the other power strikers like Dottin, you just need to take a single and put them on strike. I know she (Kashvee) is very good at hitting sixes, the ball she hit for six and I just told her that Shikha is bowling straight and the ball is keeping slightly low, so told her to shut her eyes and swing down the ground. When you are scoring runs and the team is winning, that is what you dream of. Can't ask for anything better.
Ash Gardner: We did a good job with the ball to peg them back, we knew it was a par score on this surface. Different people stood up today. Meghna, I was so pleased for her. She puts in a lot of effort in the nets and its good to see her get the rewards. It was just strategy to not bowl myself, people who bowled did a good job and I wasn't needed. Harleen played different roles throughout the tournament and she was able to adopt very well. She struck the ball beautifully tonight, it was awesome to see her play positive cricket.

Deandra Dottin: I was really confident (when I walked out to bat), once I step onto the field I know that pressure is on DC, it is just about taking advantage of the situation. I played a bit too early and I would have definitely gone for it again (talking about the shot that got her out). I think we played superbly and the girls are in good nick and they are hungry and what we continue to do is play fearless cricket and stay confident.
Meg Lanning: We knew it was gonna be a difficult game tonight, credit to the Giants, they put us under pressure and played well in the end. With dew coming in, I felt we were 15-20 short. It was nice to contribute tonight, but would have loved to get the win. Fielding is gonna play a crucial role in the tournament,. the effort was there tonight and we got a few days to reset and looks like it is going to be exciting the next few days. It's about putting your best foot forward whether it is the eliminator or the final.
