What say, Paltan? How do you think this is going? It’s the first time in this tournament so far that our lower middle-order has gotten an opportunity to bat. It’s the first time that Hayley Matthews fell early. It’s also the first time that we haven’t gotten the usual big finish at the death.

Nevertheless, 162/8 is a solid total. But against an equally solid GG lineup, we cannot take our foot off the accelerator. All our bowling changes, field placements and strategies need to be on point.

So, go on, put yourself in Harman’s shoes. Put yourself inside Jhulan’s head. Charlotte is all ears. Imagine you have all the access you need, all the super power possible. Quick, leave your opinion/advice/rant in the comments section. You have only an hour. We are taking notes ..

* The Nat-Yastika foundation: It wasn’t the easiest of pitches to bat on at the start. There was a bit of grass on it, and the ball was stopping at the batters. But Natalie Sciver-Brunt and Yastika Bhatia took their time at the start, going about at just around a run-a-ball, before cutting loose and laying the launchpad in the middle overs.

* Harman, well, does a Harman, again: It’s not her skill or her ability that’s surprising us. It’s just her consistency. Finishing an innings is arguably the toughest job in cricket, but Kaptaan Kaur just kept smashing them around, cleanly, neatly, like only she can. The end result: 51(30) [4s-7 6s-2]

* The Giants claw back at the end: With skip and Amelia (Mumbai)Kerr counter-attacking their way out, it really looked like 170 was on the cards. But Sneh Rana pulled it back superbly in the 18^th over, conceding just two runs and getting rid of Issy Wong. Harleen Deol then pulled off a seriously good direct hit from the deep to find Humairaa Kaazi short of her ground, and took an even better diving catch to end Harman’s stay.
