A Breakout Performance

Harleen Deol's match-winning innings of 70* against Delhi Capitals Women in the 17th match of Womens Premier League 2025 was a testament to her growth and maturity as a batter. Chasing a tricky target of 178, Deol held one end up, building crucial partnerships with her teammates, including Beth Mooney, Ash Gardner, and Deandra Dottin. Her unbeaten 70 off 49 balls led Gujarat Giants Women to a thrilling win with three balls to spare.

A Season of Transformation

Deol's breakout season with the national team has been a significant factor in her success in the Womens Premier League 2025. Her ability to adapt to different roles, whether batting through the middle or at the top order, has made her an attractive player to have in the T20 squad. Head coach Michael Klinger praised Deol's efforts, saying, "It was an extremely mature knock, that one... She has been flexible and ready to do the team thing for us."

A Balanced Squad

The balance of the Gujarat Giants Women squad has been a key factor in their improved performance this season. The domestic Indian bowlers, including Kashvee and Priya, have stepped up, providing eight extra quality overs and allowing overseas stars like Ash Gardner and Deandra Dottin to express themselves with more freedom. Klinger attributed the squad's stronger temperament to their exposure to high-level cricket, including six players representing India A against Australia A and five representing India for the first time. This experience has given them the confidence to take on high-class Indian players and international players, making them a formidable team in the Womens Premier League 2025.
