RCB's chase of 142 was dominated by none other than Smriti Mandhana , who led from the front with a blistering 81 off 47 balls. She was in sublime touch, finding the boundaries with ease and taking charge from the very beginning. Partnering with Danni Wyatt-Hodge , who contributed 42 runs, the opening pair gave RCB a rock-solid foundation. Even after Wyatt-Hodge fell, Ellyse Perry ensured the momentum stayed with RCB, playing a composed knock.
The moment of the match came when Richa Ghosh walked in , and with RCB needing just a few runs to win, she wasted no time. With a powerful shot over long leg, she sent the ball sailing into the stands, sealing the win in style. It was an electrifying moment, capping off an incredible chase.
Earlier in the game, DC struggled to put up a strong total. Their batting lineup saw a few promising starts, but RCB's bowlers, especially Renuka Singh and Georgia Wareham , kept them in check. Jemimah Rodrigues (34) and Annabel Sutherland (19) tried to stabilize the innings, but wickets kept falling at regular intervals. The lower order couldn't contribute much, and DC were bowled out for 141 in 19.3 overs .
For RCB, this was a statement win. After losing to DC in all previous league-stage encounters, they turned things around in spectacular fashion. Smriti Mandhana's captaincy was spot on , the bowlers executed their plans well, and the batters chased down the target with ease.
This victory not only gives RCB a crucial edge in the tournament but also proves that they are serious contenders this season. If they continue to perform like this, the road to the playoffs looks promising!
What a night for WPL fans! If you missed this game, you surely missed a thriller. Stay tuned for more action-packed cricket!
