Gujrat Giants have pulled rabbit out of heat not just once but twice. They have beaten UP Waariorz by 10 runs and Delhi Capitals Women by 4 runs to defend the target set by them twice and won both games. Their top-order batswomen Sophie Devine came just five runs short of a fabulous hundred against DC Women. Their fielders have taken game saving catches and their bowlers have bowled excellently under pressure.

Fearsome and quick-paced hitting have helped Giants post double ton totals so far. MI Women won the toss today. They are going to bowl first. Well, they have to bowl better than both teams who lost to GG Women so far. That will set up the platform to chase the target.

Lightning intervention didn't let the match between Johannesburg Super Kings and Paarl Royals to complete. Royals failed to chase the paltry target of 139 runs against Pretoria Capitals in the next match.

They will face their direct playoff race rival Durban Super Giants today. Super Giants defeated Sunrisers Eastern Cape after undergoing a stretch of three losses intermittently sandwiched between three abandoned matches (rain intervention). This team still has shot to fight for the playoffs and may cause a setback today. They are no favourites. They have been statistically overestimated all season.

A middle order collapse against mounting required run rate in the high scoring match played against Perth Scorchers has brought the Big Bash League season of Adelaide Strikers on the brink of exit from the playoff race. This team has batting line-up pretty heavy at the top. Sometimes, they fall like a sand castle or a pack of cards when their openers depart. Melbourne Stars overcame three game losing skid by beating intercity rival Melbourne Renegades. Now is not the time to lose even more matches.

Stefanos Tsitsipas is down to # 33 spot in ATP Singles Tour after a very disappointing season on ATP Singles Tour in 2025. He defeated Shintaro Mochizuki, Billy Harris, and Taylor Fritz in United Cup. To counter the winning momentum of Tsitsipas, Aleksandar Vukic has won a couple of qualifiers in Adelaide International. Tsitsipas won against Vukic in Los Cabos Open-24 in straight sets

Emma Raducanu lost to MariaSakkari in three sets in United Cup. Maria 'Cucutena' Serrano lost to Petra Marcinko in Auckland ACB Classic in three sets. Both players have played a couple of matches and neither of them won it. Raducanu won against Serrano in two sets in Citi Open-22. Australian Open will start next week and Hobart International helps as a buildup tournament. But there are practically no solid signs of form of either player.
