WPL 2026: Sciver-Brunt’s Century Powers MI Past RCB Despite Ghosh’s 90 (ld)
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Mumbai Indians held off a stunning late assault from Richa Ghosh to beat Royal Challengers Bengaluru by 15 runs in a thrilling 2026 Women's Premier League (WPL) clash at the BCA Stadium in Vadodara on Monday.
Chasing 200, RCB collapsed to 35/5 in the powerplay as Hayley Matthews and Shabnim Ismail tore through the top order, leaving the side in huge danger of suffering a big hit to their net run rate. But Richa had other ideas, as she launched a breathtaking counter-attack, smashing 90 off 50 balls with 10 fours and six sixes to nearly pull off an improbable victory.
After crawling to 55 off 40 balls in 18 overs, Ghosh exploded in the final two, plundering 35 runs to give MI a genuine scare before falling agonisingly short of a win by being dismissed on the last ball, as RCB ended up making 184/9.
