Lisa Keightley on the Match Outcome
Reflecting on the game, Keightley stated, “Gujarat Giants played really well, bowled effectively in the middle overs, and restricted us to a lower total. We were probably 10-15 runs short. Had we reached around 190, it would have been a more competitive total on this ground.”
She acknowledged that Delhi Capitals were in the game for a long period but credited Gujarat Giants for holding their nerve and securing the win.
Praise for Captain Meg Lanning
Keightley had high praise for Meg Lanning, emphasizing her consistency and leadership.
“It just shows what a quality player Meg Lanning is. She enjoys playing in India and being part of the WPL. Right now, she looks happy, playing her natural game while also supporting her teammates,” Keightley said.
