Beth Mooney and Laura Wolvaardt will be the leaders of the Gujarat Giants’ batting unit. The Giants missed Beth Mooney last season as the veteran Aussie batter missed the whole season after playing only one match.
Lauren Cheatle is expected to be their main pacer this time around, while Sneh Rana is expected to be the main spinner for the side. Dayalan Hemalatha and Harleen Deol will have to play the supporting role to the overseas batters. Meanwhile, Meghna Singh will have to play a vital role with the ball.
