WPL 2025: Disappointing To Be On Losing Side, Says RCB's Mandhana After Super Over Defeat
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Royal Challengers Bengaluru captain Smriti Mandhana struggled to hide her disappointment after her team fell agonizingly short in a dramatic Super Over clash against UP Warriorz in the Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2025 at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium here on Monday.
The thrilling contest, which marked the first-ever Super Over in WPL history, saw UP Warriorz hold their nerve to claim a stunning four-run victory in front of a packed Bengaluru crowd. "Disappointing to be on the losing side today. Did a lot of things right, throughout the batting and the bowling innings. These things happen, we will take it and come back stronger," said Mandhana after the match.
Chasing a challenging target of 181, the Warriorz had a fiery start thanks to Kiran Navgire’s explosive stroke play, before falling for a rapid 24 off 12 balls. Despite Deepti Sharma (25) and Shweta Sehrawat's (31) efforts to steady the innings, RCB’s bowlers —led by Sneh Rana and Renuka Singh — maintained relentless pressure.
