WPL 2024: Ellyse Perry’s Magnificent 66 Takes RCB To 135/6 Against Mumbai Indians
Royal Challengers Bangalore: Top all-rounder Ellyse Perry became the lone warrior for the Royal Challengers Bangalore by top-scoring with a magnificent 66 to take the side to 135/6 against Mumbai Indians in the Eliminator match of the Women's Premier League (WPL) 2024 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium here on Friday.
Ellyse, who had a brilliant all-round time by picking 6-15 and making an unbeaten 40 in Tuesday’s game against the same opposition, resurrected Royal Challengers Bangalore’s (RCB) innings by hitting eight fours and a six while being calm at the crease, on a pitch where the ball kept a bit low.
Her efforts helped RCB reach a total which gave them something to defend in a high-stakes encounter, including 51 runs coming off the last five overs. For Mumbai, Saika Ishaque, Hayley Matthews and Nat Sciver-Brunt picked up two wickets each, while their fielding was brilliant, barring a last-over dropped catch by Sajeevan Sajana.
