Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Former India captain Mithali Raj lauded the blistering knocks of Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) batters Richa Ghosh and Kanika Ahuja in the record-breaking run chase in the Women's Premier League (WPL) 2025 opener against Gujarat Giants on Friday.
RCB captain Smriti Mandhana won the toss and invited Gujarat to bat first. Batting first, Beth Mooney (56) and captain Ashleigh Gardner (79 not out) slammed half-centuries to steer the side to a formidable 201/5 in 20 overs.
In reply, Ellyse Perry slammed 57 in 34 balls studded with two sixes and six fours before Richa unleashed her power-hitting knock of 64 off 27 balls studded with four sixes and seven fours while Kanika also helped with 13-ball 30 not out laced with four fours to guide them over the line with nine balls to spare. It was the highest successful chase in the history of WPL as RCB started their title defense with a six-wicket win.
