WPL 2024: Clinical Bowling Helps RCB To Easy Win Against Gujarat Giants
Premier League Season: Clinical bowling led by spinner Sophie Molineux (3-25) and pacer Renuka Singh (2-14) helped Royal Challengers Bangalore restrict Gujarat Giants to 107/7 on their way to a comprehensive eight-wicket win with 45 balls to spare in Match 5 of the Women's Premier League (WPL) Season 2 here on Tuesday.
Royal Challengers Bangalore won the toss and elected to field first. They found success soon as Renuka Singh castled Gujarat Giants skipper Beth Mooney for eight with just 11 runs on the board at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium here. Renuka moved the length delivery a bit, which helped it evade the inside edge and scatter the stumps.
Phoebe Litchfield, the big gainer of the WPL Auction, edged back Renuka to Richa Ghosh for 5 and Molineux sent back Veda Krishnamurthy for 5, Gujarat Giants were in trouble at 45/3. Their woes were compounded when Harleen Deol, who was looking good at 22 off 31, was run out, going for a needless and non-existent single, and Gujarat Giants staring down the barrel at 50/4.
