The all-rounder show of Ellyse Perry guides Royal Challengers Bangalore to defeat Mumbai Indians in the WPL 2024
In the 2024 WPL, Royal Challengers Bangalore, riding on the best-ever bowling figures of Ellyse Perry's in the history of the Women's Premier League, defeated Mumbai Indians by seven wickets to make it to the playoffs in the Women's Premier League match here on Tuesday.
Perry snapped six for 15 runs as RCB dismissed the Mumbai Indians for 113 runs.
The all-rounder of the Australian women cricket team then struck an unbeaten 40 and shared a 76-run stand with Richa Ghosh (36 not out) to take RCB to the winning score of 115 for 3 in just 15 overs.
With the victory, RCB can now stop their calculations; they have made it to the top three and will now play the eliminator with the second-placed team. On the other side, UP Warriorz and the Gujarat Giants, who would have hoped for RCB’s loss, can draw curtains on the ongoing WPL season. MI has also been denied direct entry to the final and will play an eliminator.
Brief scores: Mumbai 113 in 19 overs (Hayley Matthews 26, SajeevanSajana 30; Ellyse Perry 6/15) lost to Royal Challengers Bangalore 115 for 3 in 15 overs (Ellyse Perry 40 not out, Richa Ghosh 36 not out).
