Gujarat Giants suffer second loss in two days after final-over drama, heightened by DRS and wides UP Warriorz  175 for 7 (Harris 59*, Navgire 53, Garth 5-36) beat  Gujarat Giants  169 for 6 (Deol 46) by three wickets In the first two games of the  Women's Premier League  (WPL), the team batting first scored more than 200 and the chasing side failed to challenge the total. On Sunday night,  Grace Harris  bucked the trend to help deliver the tournament its first proper thriller. Harris starred for UP Warriorz with the kind of devastating knock that has brought her back to the top level and made her a mainstay in the Australian team. A day after going down by 143 runs  to Mumbai Indians  and losing their captain Beth Mooney to injury, Gujarat Giants recovered from 76 for 4 in ten overs to put up 169 for 6. Then they had Warriorz down at 105 for 7, but not out. With 65 needed off 26 balls, Harris stole Warriorz a win out of nowhere. RELATED Gujar...
