Batting at no 6 against West Indies which is a equally good team in the shortest format, she scored a 19 ball half century with 5 sixes.
Though West Indies won the match because of superb unbeaten hundred from Mumbai Indians Hayley Mathews, Phoebe Litchfield already done enough to carve out space in Gujarat Giants squad.
She is also the youngest player to score a half century in WBBL.
Bought in at the price of 1 cr, she is also more than useful in bowling with her leg breaks and provide an option for her captain Beth Mooney to chip in with some overs when needed.
