1st Innings
- RCB made a strong recovery, but they will rue some easy dismissals that hampered their batting attempt.
- They started well but fell from 39 for 0 to 43 for 4, followed by Ellyse Perry’s reckless run-out.
- There were several good hands in the middle and lower-middle order, but a significant total is unlikely when the best score is a measly 28 by Richa Ghosh.
- MI was excellent on the ball and the field. They have continued their form from the first match. Too bad for RCB.
2nd Innings
- An easy chase from the Mumbai Indians. They chased down this target with the loss of only one wicket.
- There isn’t too much to talk about the Batters, so we will discuss the 3 batters who performed, and then we will go towards the bowlers.
- An exceptional performance from Haley and Nat. They showed us all how the job is done.
- Especially the player of the match, Haley, carried her bat and finished the game properly.
- Only Preeti was able to get a wicket. Other than her, all the powers were pretty expensive.
- RCB women have to buckle up and showcase some serious performance to get back in the tournament.
