WPL 2024: Ellyse Perry's Brilliant All-round Show Helps RCB Down Mumbai Indians
Royal Challengers Bangalore: Ellyse Perry claimed a superb 6-15 in a brilliant display of medium-pace bowling and scored a fine unbeaten 40 to help Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) defending champions Mumbai Indians by seven wickets with 30 balls to spare in Match 19 of Women's Premier League (WPL) 2024 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium here on Tuesday.
With this win RCB clinched their spot in the Playoffs, harming the chances of defending champions Mumbai Indians clinching a direct berth in the Final of the WPL. Mumbai Indians' defeat brought glee to table-toppers Delhi Capitals as they now need to win their next match against Gujarat Giants -- victory will help Delhi climb to 12 points and clinch their place in the final. A big defeat for Delhi Capitals will leave them at 10 points and probably behind Mumbai Indians in Net Run Rate.
Mumbai Indians ran into trouble after RCB won the toss and elected to field first. They raised 43 runs for the first wicket when Hayley Matthews got out for 26, caught by Perry off Sophie Devine.
