Gardner puts up a lone fight
Chasing 179 in the game, the Giants never really got going, with RCB's bowlers keeping them under pressure throughout. Ashleigh Gardner was the only bright spot for the Giants, scoring a half-century. Such was GG's misery that their skipper was the only one from the team to breach the 20-run mark. However, her efforts weren't enough to get her team across the line as they (117/8) fell short by a huge margin.
