“I might drop myself down the order if I don’t get going”: GGT skipper Beth Mooney

Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], February 28 : Following Royal Challengers Bangalore’s (RCB) eight-wicket win against Gujarat Giants (GGT) in the fifth match of the Women’s Premier League (WPL) on Tuesday at M Chinnaswamy Stadium, GGT skipper Beth Mooney opined that she might drop herself into the middle-order if she is not able to perform in the future.

Mooney asserted that she doesn’t believe in form in T20s. If our team starts scoring in the next two games then everyone will forget our performance in the first two matches, she said.

“That it’s over. I don’t have much for you Mel. Defending low totals on these wickets is always tough with the batting RCB have got. I will have to go back to the drawing board. I don’t believe in form in this format, if we start scoring runs in the next two games, then everyone will forget the first two. Perhaps we’re just not taking the high percentage options at the right time. We have to score through the middle-overs, we need wickets in the shed for that as well. We need to get 140,” Mooney said in the post-match presentation,” she said.

The Australian opener further stated that the girls in the team have been picked-up for a reason and they have to back their skill-sets.
