You need to get the conditions to know how to play. Was thankful that Sophie motored along. Great feeling to finish the game off. I actually knew what I wanted to do. Was getting a bit antsy when there were so many breaks with the DRS at the end. I was just really psyched to get out there and have a bat. Have trained a lot.</p> <p>"Love batting with a bit of freedom. Healy, the coach supports any decision. She is a clean striker (Sophie). There was a little bit of confusion towards the end, when the ump walked over to say the DRS has gone down. It was a good bit of fun. Don't know where I'll find some burgers in India. Maybe some butter chicken," Grace Harris, Player of the Match said after winning the match.</p> <p><strong>ALSO READ | <a title="Smriti Mandhana's Reaction On Being Compared With RCB Legend Virat Kohli" href="https://ift.tt/VCqvNgL" target="_self">Smriti Mandhana's Reaction On Being Compared With RCB Legend Virat Kohli</a></strong></p> <p>Brief scores: Gujarat Giants 169/6 in 20 overs (Harleen Deol 46, Ashleigh Gardner 25; Sophie Ecclestone 2/25, Deepti Sharma 2/27).</p> <p>UP Warriorz: 175/7 in 19.5 overs (Kiran Navgire 53, Grace Harris 59 n.o.; Kim Garth 5/36)&nbsp;</p>
