"We let ourselves down in the first 10 overs"- Gujarat Giants captain Beth Mooney after loss vs Mumbai Indians in WPL 2024
GG skipper Beth Mooney reflected on the loss during the post-match presentation, saying:
"Was nervous this week as it was against Mumbai, but got through unscathed. We let ourselves down in the first 10 overs, credit has to go to TK and Bryce, we were 20 runs short to have any real shot at Mumbai. Bryce was very good, great find for us and she has a nice swing with the bat and good with the ball, hopefully it's a sign of things to come for her."
Mooney continued:
"Sometimes you got to take the result out of it, especially when it's a new team, we take the positives out of it and move on. You can't dwell too much, there isn't much time in such tournaments. From my point of view, we have a great bunch of girls, it's a day off tomorrow and will move on to the next match."
Delhi Capitals and UP Warriors will square off in the fourth match of WPL 2023 on Monday (February 26) at the same venue.
