In response, MI-W started steadily but lost Hayley Matthews in the fourth over and Yastika Bhatia in the eighth over. This put MI-W in a difficult position as RCB-W bowlers had kept their run rate under control. Nat Sciver and Katherine Brunt didn’t contribute many runs, but captain Harmanpreet Kaur and Amelia Kerr formed a partnership that added 52 runs to keep the game competitive.
Yet, Shreyanka Patil, Sophie Molineux, and Asha Sobhana showcased exceptional bowling skills in the last three overs, leading to a 5-run victory over the defending champions and securing RCB-W’s spot in their first WPL final. They will face DC-W in the showdown scheduled for Sunday.
