Preview
The home team put up a dominant performance in the opening clash and walked away with a comfortable nine-wicket triumph. German skipper Anuradha Doddaballapur elected to bowl first after winning the toss and her decision proved to be spot-on. France never got going with the bat as they were restricted to 65/6 in their allotted 20 overs.
In reply, the hosts didn’t break a sweat and crossed the line in just 11.2 overs. Anna Healey’s 27-ball 29 ball made sure there’s no twist in the tale. While Germany would like to continue their dominance, France would like to put up a better show in their upcoming assignment.

Captaincy Picks for GRW vs FRW
Sharanya Sadarangani
As mentioned above, France suffered a batting collapse in the opening game. A lot of credit for that must go to Sharanya Sadarangani. The pacer bowled with hostility and never allowed the opposition batters to get their eyes in. In total, he took two wickets in three overs and conceded mere 10 runs. She would be determined to put up a similar show.
Anna Healey
Another German player who can shine in the upcoming contest is Anna Healey. On a pitch where French batters struggled to get going, Healey scored runs with ease. She looked solid against the challenging deliveries and also didn’t mind dispatching the poor ones over the ropes. Hence, France must find out a way to restrict her.
