WPL 2023:Mumbai IndiansW vs Royal Challengers BangaloreW-4th Match - Page 7

decent comeback from RCB, but they'll look back at several soft dismissals which dented their batting effort. They were off to a flier, but they then collapsed from 39 for 0 to 43 for 4, it was then followed by the suicidal run-out of Ellysa Perry. There were useful hands from the middle and lower-middle order, but you don't get a big total if the highest score is a meagre 28, by Richa Ghosh. MI were impressive with the ball and superb in the field. On this pitch 155 seems to be a below par total and they'd back themselves to chase it down. Back for the chase shortly..

9.14pm: After a good start, RCB lost a flurry of wickets. Spinners Matthews, Saika and Kerr shared seven wickets between them to exert pressure but handy contributions from Kanika, Richa, Shreyanka and Schutt helped the team get past 150. At the toss, Mandhana said that one of the top four needs to bat deep to take the team to a 180+ total, which didn't happen. Will 155 be enough to post their first win in the WPL? We'll find that out soon.

Timeout! MI in cruise control. They were given a good start by their openers and have continued from there. RCB just don't have answers to stop the boundary flow and they have conceded one in each of the 8 overs.
