Quick-fire batting from Harleen and Dunkley

Earlier, Gujarat Giants opted to bat first after winning the toss. They were also win-less in the tournament until that time.

Gardner scored 19, Hemalatha scored 16, and Sutherland scored 14 runs. Apart from this, no other batter could play a significant part in the match.

Shreyanka Patil and Heather Knight picked a couple of wickets while Renuka and Meghan also grabbed a wicket each. However, the damage had been done in the start itself and some quick wickets, in the end, gave RCB momentum.
