WPL 2024: After losing a thrilling last-ball match, Ellyse Perry, Smriti Mandhana, and the RCB stars are all emotional.
Royal Challengers Bangalore Women lost their WPL 2024 match against Delhi Capitals Women by only 1 run.
The Royal Challengers Bangalore Women endured a rout in a last-ball spine chiller at the Women’s Chief Association (WPL) 2024. The loss left the whole group shell-stunned in the wake of experiencing a 1-run rout because of the Delhi Capitals women. It was Richa Ghosh who nearly brought the RCB Women back home with her crushing thump of 29-ball 51. However, her run-out turned out to be the definitive point in the game. After the game, RCB stars like Smriti Mandhana and Ellyse Perry were justifiably grief-stricken as their title trusts finished rashly.
While Smriti battled to keep down her tears, Ellyse was all close to home as she understood RCB women were everything except out-of-season finishers.
While pursuing an 182-run target, RCB captain Smriti Mandhana (5 runs from 7 balls) and Aussie player Sophie Molineux (33 runs from 30 balls) came to the wrinkle. Be that as it may, they neglected to give the Bengaluru-based establishment a decent beginning in the game as Mandhana left for only five runs. RCB was 9/1 in 1.3 overs.
In any case, Ellyse Perry (49 runs from 32 balls) took things in charge with her rush thump, yet taking RCB to a superior position was sufficient. Perry crushed seven fours and one six during her experience with the wrinkle. She joined forces with Sophie, taking RCB to 89 of every 11 overs before she was excused through a runout. Sophie was additionally excused by Arundhati Reddy, diminishing RCB to 93/3 in 11.5 overs.
After Perry’s excusal, Richa began crushing and guaranteed her 50 years in only 29 balls. The Indian wicketkeeper player crushed 4 fours and 3 sixes at a strike pace of 175.86. She cooperated with Sophie Devine (26 out of 16 balls, with four and two sixes) and Georgia Wareham (12 out of six balls), taking RCB close to a staggering win. At the point when Sophie and Georgia were excused, RCB was 165/5 of every 19 overs, left with 17 to make in the last.
Richa allowed RCB an opportunity to remain above water with two sixes. However, requiring two sudden spikes in demand for a conclusive ball, she was run out, and RCB passed up a great opportunity with a run.
