🏆 Result: UP Warriorz won by 12 runs
Player of the Match: Georgia Voll (99* off 56 balls)
UPW 225/5
Georgia Voll’s magnificent 99 and Kiran Navgire’s outstanding cameo of 46 off only 16 balls powered UP Warriorz to their highest total ever in Women’s Premier League history – an outstanding 225/5 total that marked an outstanding win.
Grace Harris got the innings underway with an explosive start by hitting two fours off her first over, including an outstanding lap shot and powerful pull in front of square off Kim Garth. UPW soon raced past their target of 75/0 within seven overs before an unfortunate moment of miscommunication ended Harris and Voll’s magnificent stand of 34 runs for one wicket.
RCB bowlers struggled to contain the run rate. Kim Garth and Renuka Singh Thakur both conceded over 42 runs without taking a wicket; Charlie Dean (1/47) and Ellyse Perry (0/35) also leaked too many runs into play, leaving Sophie Ecclestone as their most successful bowler with three wickets for 25 runs; she successfully dismissed Meghana, Wareham, Dean before receiving support from Chinelle Henry (2/49) and Anjali Sarvani (1/41). Unfortunately RCB struggled in response until Sneh Rana made his striking returns; his fearless strikes breathed life back into their chase as the chase began again!
RCB 213/10
This match was an intense thriller with every ball mattering. UPW amassed 225/5 led by Georgia Voll’s unbeaten 99 off 56 balls for their score, while Royal Challengers Bangalore started well, but regular wickets killed their momentum before Richa Ghosh’s 69 and Sneh Rana’s late onslaught could not prevent an 11-run loss for themselves.
Virat Kohli’s brilliant century propelled Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) to a formidable total of 213/4, supported by Moeen Ali who batted an explosive 28-ball 66.
Glenn Maxwell and Faf du Plessis made a steady start to their partnership despite early setbacks, scoring 96 runs during the powerplay to put RCB in a commanding position. But shortly thereafter came LSG’s collapse when Nicholas Pooran hit 15-ball half century and Marcus Stoinis 65 ball effort helped move them closer towards target; Ayush Mhatre and Shaik Rasheed held their nerve to secure 12-run win for LSG; this defeat ended their playoff hopes for RCB.
UPW 205/9
Georgia Voll’s unbeaten 99 and Kiran Navgire’s blistering 46 propelled UP Warriorz to their highest Women’s Premier League total ever, 225. Richa Ghosh’s counterattack and Sneh Rana’s late surge couldn’t take Royal Challengers Bangalore over the line; Sophie Ecclestone’s bowling masterclass ensured UPW would maintain their nerve and seal a 12-run win for their side.
Kim Garth and Renuka Singh Thakur of RCB proved costly bowlers, conceding 42 runs each without picking up a wicket. Georgia Wareham and Charlie Dean struggled against UPW’s relentless batting, eventually succumbing to pressure and losing wickets quickly. Chinelle Henry, Anjali Sarvani, Deepti Sharma and Sophie Ecclestone from UPW excelled with pacers Chinelle Henry, Anjali Sarvani claiming 2 wickets each while Deepti Sharma and Sophie Ecclestone took 3 each from this high-scoring match at Ekana Cricket Stadium – see complete scorecard details below for every run, wicket or statistic from this high-scoring contest!
RCB 206/9
After 17 years of heartbreak and near misses, either Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) or Punjab Kings (PKs) will finally lift the IPL trophy tonight at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. While RCB have managed three victories from four matches this tournament so far, their win against Punjab Kings (PKs), led by captain Tilak Varma’s 89 run stand with skipper Hardik Pandya was closely contested.
This match was an epitome of cricket’s unpredictability and demonstrated why even dominant teams can struggle at times. Georgia Voll’s unbeaten 99, Kiran Navgire-Tim David partnership and Sneh Rana late fireworks saw Royal Challengers Bengalors put up an impressive scoreboard but their bowlers couldn’t contain Punjab’s relentless attacking play – leading them to edge out Punjab by just 12 runs at the final wicket, becoming first team ever in season to go top of points table; also providing them with one game in hand over second-placed Mumbai before meeting again on March 8 at Bhara Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow!
Final score
Royal Challengers Bangalore lost in an exciting 12-run thriller to Uttar Pradesh Warriorz at Lucknow’s Bharat Rata Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium, thanks to an outstanding batting effort by Georgia Voll and Kiran Navgire. Their batsmen powered them to 225/5 – the highest Women’s Premier League total ever. Sophie Ecclestone ensured RCB could not reach their target, despite Richa Ghosh counterattack and Sneh Rana late attack that hit 26 balls for 67.
