WPL 2024: Perry’s 66, Collective Bowling Effort Help RCB Edge MI By 5 Runs, Set Up Title Clash With DC
Arun Jaitley Stadium: Ellyse Perry was the lone ranger with the bat through her magnificent 66, while the bowlers, led by Shreyanka Patil’s 2-18, propelled the Royal Challengers Bangalore to pull off a stunning five-run win over defending champions Mumbai Indians in the Eliminator match of the Women's Premier League (WPL) 2024 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium here on Friday.
After Ellyse’s knock, laced with eight fours and a six, took RCB to 135/6 in 20 overs, she played a key role in stemming the run-flow with the ball and taking out Yastika Bhatia. Shreyanka was economical in her spell and took out captain Harmanpreet Kaur in the 18th over, which tilted the game in RCB’s favour in front of 27,100 fans.
This win means RCB will now meet Delhi Capitals in the title clash on Sunday to determine the new WPL champions.
