GG Vs UPW Live Cricket Score, WPL 2026: Kranti Gaud Strikes Again, Anushka Sharma Out

Kranti Gaud strikes, and she’s earned that one! She keeps teasing Anushka Sharma with that length outside off, the ball nipping away just enough. Anushka can’t resist the cut, throws the bat at it, there’s a faint noise and the appeal is instant.

Up goes the finger and Shweta Sehrawat completes a sharp catch. Another batter undone by a cross-bat shot, another reward for a bowler who’s been moving it both ways and attacking the stumps relentlessly. Anushka walks back after a brisk 14 off 8, three boundaries lit up the start, but Gaud has the breakthrough.

And we are underway, and straight away the drama arrives! Kranti Gaud starts full and straight, Beth Mooney beaten on the flick and struck on the pads, the fielding side roaring in unison for LBW.

It looks close, very close, but the umpire shakes his head and after a quick huddle the review is wisely abandoned. Gaud goes again, Mooney leans forward and strokes a neat drive to mid-off, Danni Wyatt-Hodge hesitating before sprinting through, late, scrambling, but just safe. Two balls in and this game already has a heartbeat.
