Lanning admitted that explosive batter Shafali Verma produced a knock against Gujarat Giants on Saturday that no one saw coming in the Women바카라s Premier League (WPL).
After Marizanne Kapp바카라s 4-0-15-5 blew away the Gujarat Giants, who could manage a mere 105/9 in their 20 overs, Shafali hammered five sixes and 10 fours in the company of Lanning (21 not out) to power Delhi Capitals to a 10-wicket win.
바카라I did not see that coming from Shafali, I do not think anyone did,바카라 said Lanning to the media after the match here at the DY Patil Stadium.
바카라She played to her strengths and got on a roll and when that happens in T20 cricket you just got to be going with it.바카라
The Delhi Capitals captain said the pitch assisted the pacers early on.
바카라The pitch was a new-ball wicket. The was a little bit (of help) there if you got it in the right areas which we felt like we did,바카라 Lanning said.
바카라But Shafali took the wicket out of the equation, she backed herself, played to her strengths, stayed still and hit straight. On these wickets if you do that, you are going to be successful. I loved standing at the other end watching her do her thing,바카라 she added.
Lanning praised Marizanne Kapp for her stunning five-for that set the platform for Delhi Capitals.
바카라She just bowled her stock ball with the natural length. She was able to get a little bit out of the wicket. She had been a little bit down, I do not think she has bowled that badly throughout the tournament, that is the nature of the game. But to see her get some rewards was good,바카라 Lanning said.
Gujarat Giants head coach Rachael Haynes admitted that her side made an error by leaving out Sophia Dunkley, whose 65 against Royal Challengers Bangalore made the difference.
바카라Marizanne is a great bowler and I do not want to take anything away from her. To take a batter out who had performed in the game before (last match), I am not sure (if) that was the right call,바카라 Haynes said.
바카라We have had two players in this tournament who made half-centuries and Dunk바카라s (Sophia Dunkley) was probably one of the best T20 innings I have seen in quite some time. We need to (have) the in-form players batting in this competition, the best players facing the most balls and unfortunately a good bowler just went through us tonight,바카라 she added.
