A packed Chinnaswamy Stadium gave RCB a rousing send-off in their last home game on Monday night, and Smriti Mandhana\u2019s team acknowledged the loving cheers of their 12th Man Army with a victory lap after their win against UP Warriorz. The unwavering support had lifted the team during tense moments in their matches, said the leg-spinner Georgia Wareham.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cThe crowds are a massive win for us. I think it\u2019s a little bit intimidating at first, but it\u2019s nice knowing that they\u2019re all cheering for us, which as an Australian being over here is a little bit different.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cBut, yeah, it\u2019s like having a 12th man. They call it a 12th Man Army. So, yeah, it\u2019s really special and I think having that noise is really cool for us and I think it brings us through big moments and, yeah, it sort of lifts the team when we need lifting,\u201d Wareham said at the post-match press conference following RCB\u2019s comprehensive 23-run victory, their third in this WPL.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Looking forward to the Delhi leg, Wareham said that consistency would be an important factor for RCB. \u201cMore than anything, consistency. I think we\u2019ve been a little bit up and down over the past five games. Travelling to Delhi, I think we\u2019ve just got to be ready for anything when we get there and adapt and try and get there as fresh as we can. So it\u2019ll probably be not doing much tomorrow after we get there and just make sure that we get everything right before we step out on the field in Delhi.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Wareham, recapping the night\u2019s performance, said that the batting exploits of skipper Smriti and Ellyse Perry were the highlights of the win. Wareham also praised Perry\u2019s fielding efforts, talking about how that set the example for the rest of the side. \u201cPez [Perry] also leads us in the fielding. I think the way that she\u2019s sprinting across the ground the whole game is, yeah, I think easy for everyone else to follow. I think when you\u2019ve got fielders like that in the team to sort of just copy what they do is pretty easy for everyone else,\u201d said Wareham.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Wareham also spoke about how she was impressed by fellow leggie Asha Sobhana\u2019s ability to soak up the pressure. \u201cShe\u2019s super talented. I think we both sort of bowl a little bit differently, but I think the way that Smriti\u2019s used us has actually been really cool, sort of both bowling through the middle there. \u201cI love Ash\u2019s confidence, the way that she bowls sort of forgets about the last ball and her ability to just bowl her best ball every ball, I think, is something that everyone sort of aspires to be able to do, just to be able to sort of forget what just happened regardless and perform as well as she has so far has been unbelievable,\u201d Wareham said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
RCB will be in action for their sixth match on Wednesday evening against Gujarat Giants at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi.<\/p>\r\n\r\n", "image": "https:\/\/img.cricketnmore.com\/uploads\/2024\/03\/wpl-2024-wareham-stresses-on-consistency-as-key-ahead-of-delhi-leg-after-rcbs-good-show-at-home.jpg", "alt_img": "WPL 2024: Wareham stresses on consistency as key ahead of Delhi leg after RCB's good show at home", "alt_title": "WPL 2024: Wareham stresses on consistency as key ahead of Delhi leg after RCB's good show at home", "image1": null, "video": null, "seo_title": "WPL 2024: Wareham Stresses On Consistency As Key Ahead Of Delhi Leg After RCB's Good Show At Home On Cricketnmore", "seo_desc": "WPL 2024: Wareham Stresses On Consistency As Key Ahead Of Delhi Leg After RCB's Good Show At Home, Royal Challengers Bangalore: A dominant show at home behind them, the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) gear up for the second.", "seo_keywords": "Georgia Wareham, Royal Challengers Bangalore, Premier League, Chinnaswamy Stadium, Smriti Mandhana, Man Army, UP Warriorz, Ellyse Perry, Asha Sobhana, Gujarat Giants, Arun Jaitley Stadium", "tag": "", "tagging": "Georgia Wareham, Royal Challengers Bangalore, Premier League, Chinnaswamy Stadium, Smriti Mandhana, Man Army, UP Warriorz, Ellyse Perry, Asha Sobhana, Gujarat Giants, Arun Jaitley Stadium", "status": "1", "img_rpt": "0", "google": "1", "standout": "0", "edapps": "0", "pulse": "0", "no_index": "0", "feed": "0", "fixture": null, "slug": "wpl-2024-wareham-stresses-on-consistency-as-key-ahead-of-delhi-leg-after-rcbs-good-show-at-home", "user_id": "0", "read_count": "0", "ians_date": null, "ians_time": null, "server_time": null, "trash": "0", "view_count": "920", "page_break": "0", "instant_articles": "1", "auto_link": "1", "created": "2024-03-05 22:38:04", "updated": "2024-03-05 22:38:04", "img_from": "Image Source: IANS", "img_source": null, "schedule_publish": null, "news_keywords": "Georgia Wareham, Royal Challengers Bangalore, Premier League, Chinnaswamy Stadium, Smriti Mandhana, Man Army, UP Warriorz, Ellyse Perry, Asha Sobhana, Gujarat Giants, Arun Jaitley Stadium", "livescore_text": null, "livescore_link": null, "btn_text": null, "resend_feed": "1", "google_feed": "1", "read_more": "0", "posted_by": "23", "jio_date": "2024-03-05 22:38:04", "scheduled": "0", "news_now": "1", "breaking_news": "1", "google_date": null, "featured": "0", "pred_match_id": null, "article_content_type": null, "link": "https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/cricket-news\/wpl-2024-wareham-stresses-on-consistency-as-key-ahead-of-delhi-leg-after-rcbs-good-show-at-home-139698" }
