Strategic Break! Bengaluru struck early, grabbing a couple of key wickets, but that expensive last over has completely shifted the momentum away from them. Ash Gardner looks in sublime touch, staying composed as she guides Gujarat towards victory. With their middle-order vulnerabilities, this partnership will be crucial in seeing them through. For Bengaluru, the task is clear - tighten the screws, cut off the scoring options, and strike quickly to claw their way back into the contest. A defining phase of play awaits! Georgia Wareham comes into the attack now.

Strategic break! With Gujarat on the brink of victory, this is turning into yet another painful night for the home side, Bengaluru. They simply failed to contain the scoring or take enough wickets, and now, they are staring at their third consecutive defeat. With just 9 runs needed, Gujarat will be eager to close this out quickly and give their net run rate a healthy boost. Bengaluru, on the other hand, will be left searching for answers as their struggles continue. Deandra Dottin comes in to bat at number 6 for Gujarat.

Is Deandra Dottin stumped? This is sent upstairs and looks close. The side on camera shows Dottin to have managed to drag her back foot back in time. NOT OUT it is!

Right then, that’s a wrap on this game, where Bengaluru suffer their third consecutive defeat. Meanwhile, Gujarat finally break their losing streak, securing a much-needed win and hoping this marks a turning point in their campaign. Next up in the Women's T20 League is Match 13, a high-voltage showdown between two powerhouses where Delhi take on Mumbai. Expect nothing short of a blockbuster encounter as these two sides battle it out at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on 28th February. The first ball will be bowled at 7.30 pm IST (2 pm GMT), but as always, we'll be here well in advance to bring you all the build-up, insights, and excitement leading into the game. Until then, take care and see you soon!
