    RCB wins Eliminator, to meet Delhi Capitals in final on Sunday

    What a season Royal Challengers Bangalore has had. After a see-sawing campaign in the league stage, the side – largely thanks to the brilliance of Ellyse Perry – crawled its way into the knockouts. Facing Mumbai Indians – the very side it beat to qualify for the playoffs – RCB’s luck and a few clinical performances under pressure carried the side into the final after it sealed a tense five-run win in the final over at the Arun Jaitley Stadium here on Friday.

    MI 130/6 in 20 overs -RCB WIN BY 5 RUNS

    It comes down to 12 needed of the last six and Smriti Mandhana entrusts Asha Sobhana with the nervy over. The MI batters begin with two singles and Vastrakar runs two to bring the target down to seven runs needed off the last three. Here comes the breakthrough! Vastrakar comes down the track trying to go for the big one. Misses. Richa makes no mistake behind the stumps! OUT. Seven needed off two now. Amanjot and Kerr can only manage two runs! RCB has done the unthinkable. They have knocked the defending champion out of the tournament! 

  • March 15, 2024 22:44
    MI 124/5 in 19 Overs

    Shreyanka Pati has taken us to a thriller as Harmanpreet Kaur falls! Can you believe it! 

  • March 15, 2024 22:34

    The timing is everything in this game and Kaur secures two boundaries to push her side closer to the win.

  • March 15, 2024 22:28
    MI 93/3 in 15 Overs

    Sophie Molineux into her third over, and it remains to be seen when Renuka, who has bowled just one over comes into the attack.

  • March 15, 2024 22:27
    MI 89/3 in 14 Overs

    Harmanpreet produces a boundary, and that was a classic. She holds the key.

  • March 15, 2024 22:21
    MI 80/3 in 13 Overs

    Harmanpreet fetches a boundary, but Mumbai is making rough weather of a small run chase. 

  • March 15, 2024 22:13
    MI 75/3 in 12 Overs

    Harmanpreet holds the key as RCB is putting out a fight. Amelia Kerr joins Harmanpreet.

  • March 15, 2024 22:10
    MI 69/3 in 11 Overs

    A pull through the mid-wicket and the power of execution was brilliant, and then another boundary through the mid-wicket, but Wareham strikes by castling Brunt, who missed a straight ball. 

  • March 15, 2024 22:05
    MI 60/2 in 10 Overs

    The poor umpiring in the WPL continues as a clear wide goes upstairs. Mumbai Indians Women needs 76 runs in 60 balls

  • March 15, 2024 22:00
    MI 52/2 in 9 Overs

    There is tension in the air as Harmanpreet survives a run-out as Sophie Molineux rolls out a brilliant over. 

  • March 15, 2024 21:53
    MI 50/2 in 8 Overs

    Nat Sciver-Brunt finds the boundary, and Perry pays the price for staying on the line. The fifty for Mumbai comes up, but Perry strikes as as she castles Yastika.

  • March 15, 2024 21:48
    MI 44/1 in 7 Overs

    Georgia Wareham is back into the attack and a tickle by Nat Sciver-Brunt crosses the boundary. An under-edge you can call, but runs are runs. 

  • March 15, 2024 21:41
    MI 37/1 in 6 Overs

    Yastika Bhatia is superb as the southpaw dances down the track and nails Sophie Molineux through the mid-off, and that’s an excellent shot.

  • March 15, 2024 21:38
    MI 31/1 in 5 Overs

    A six-wicket haul in her last game, and what a spell Perry is bowling. However, Yastika finds the fence through the covers as Mumbai is up and running in this run chase.

  • March 15, 2024 21:32
    MI 27/1 in 4 Overs

    Shreyanka Patil strikes to remove Matthews, and Yastika’s drop will still hurt them in a small run chase. 

  • March 15, 2024 21:27
    MI 22/0 in 3 Overs

    Runs and now coming tick and fast for Mumbai and Matthews driving the run chase for Mumbai with boundaries to the square region. 

  • March 15, 2024 21:24
    MI 9/0 in 2 Overs

    Early signs of spin as Shreyanka Patil is into the attack and an excellent over from the spinner as she gives up just three runs in her opening over. 

  • March 15, 2024 21:18
    MI 6/0 in 1 Over

    Yastika Bhatia survives a DRS call that was clearly a desperation to seek a breakthrough, with RCB defending 135. The field is up, and Renuka is searching for a wicket. Yastika and Matthews are off the mark. 

  • March 15, 2024 21:08
    Ellyse perry after the innings

    We sort of grappled our way through the innings. Mumbai put us on the backfoot early, but we managed this total, and we’ve got a crack at defending. We love our time in the field together. No better place than the eliminator to do that. Ball just keeps a fraction low. Ones to the stumps are hard to place and pierce the stumps. 

  • March 15, 2024 20:59
    RCB 136/6 IN 20 oVERS

    Saika Ishaque removes Perry, and Mumbai is lining up for a massive win. Nat Sciver-Brunt doesn’t drops it tonight. Wareham however, finishes with a six to instil some hope. 

  • March 15, 2024 20:54
    RCB 122/5 in 19 Overs

    Wareham targets the deep mid-wicket region and gets the desired result with a boundary.

  • March 15, 2024 20:50
    RCB 113/5 in 18 Overs

    Amelia Kerr back into the attack but Perry with a solid sweep has taken RCB past the 100-run mark. 

  • March 15, 2024 20:47
    RCB 102/5 in 17 Overs

    Perry gets to her fifty in 40 balls, a second in this edition and she has been the lone soldier.

  • March 15, 2024 20:41
    RCB 90/5 in 16 Overs

    Matthews finishes her quota of overs with 4-0-18-2. A 2/118 in a top game!

  • March 15, 2024 20:38
    RCB 84/5 in 15 Overs

    Nat Sciver-Brunt castles Molineux and RCB lack power in the last overs. Can they finish with a decent total remains to be seen.

  • March 15, 2024 20:32
    RCB 75/4 in 14 Overs

    Perry gets going and fetches a boundary off Kerr, a full toss that was sent straight down the ground. 

  • March 15, 2024 20:31
    RCB 68/4 in 13 Overs

    Perry gets going as she shuffles down the wicket and executes a short-arm jab to dispatch Vastrakar for a maximum over the deep mid-wicket. 

  • March 15, 2024 20:25
    RCB 57/4 in 12 Overs

    Matthews continues, and RCB is really struggling to fetch boundaries. Swing and miss has the case so far. The fifty is up, but they need more runs. 

  • March 15, 2024 20:22
    RCB 53/4 in 11 Overs

    Nat Sciver-Brunt has chained RCB further and this has been brilliant from Mumbai. 

  • March 15, 2024 20:17
    RCB 51/4 in 10 Overs

    Nat Sciver-Brunt doesn’t drops a catch tonight as she pouches Richa Ghosh with Matthews picking her second wicket. It’s a huge wicket in the context of the game.

  • March 15, 2024 20:11
    RCB 49/3 in 9 Overs

    Pooja Vastrakar into the attack, and this has been excellent from Mumbai. RCB really pushing hard for runs but Mumbai has control. 

  • March 15, 2024 20:06
    RCB 47/3 in 8 Overs

    Nice use of the feet from Perry as she drills Ishaque down the track and then Richa with the first six of the evening. RCB gaining some momentum.

  • March 15, 2024 20:03
    RCB 34/3 in 7 Overs

    What an over from Ismail as she bowls a maiden over and restricts Richa from going over the top. Excellent from Mumbai.

  • March 15, 2024 19:58
    RCB 34/3 in 6 Overs

    Ellyse Perry and Richa Ghosh batted really well in the last game, and there is no need to press the panic button. The PowerPlay, however, belongs to Mumbai, despite Perry flicking Nat Sciver-Brunt to the deep-midwicket boundary.

  • March 15, 2024 19:54
    RCB 28/3 in 5 Overs

    Ismail back into the attack, and after giving 14 in her first over, the pacer has come back strongly almost yorking Richa Ghosh.

    RCB 24/3 in 4 Overs

    Saika Ishaque into the attack, and RCB is in a lot of trouble as Disha Kasat hits straight to Vastrakar and departs for a duck. 

  • March 15, 2024 19:45
    RCB 23/2 in 3 Overs

    Nat Sciver-Brunt strikes to remove Smriti Mandhana and that’s a huge wicket as RCB loses two wickets. Smriti tried to go over the extra cover region but couldn’t get the elevation right as Ismail pouched a simple catch.

  • March 15, 2024 19:41
    RCB 20/1 in 2 Overs

    Mandhana on the attack as she hammers Matthews over mid-off for a boundary, but Matthews castles Devine. Huge wicket and a review went against Mumbai.

  • March 15, 2024 19:36
    RCB 14/0 in 1 Over

    What a wonderful start as Smriti pulls Ismail to the square leg boundary, and then Sophie Devine finds the fence to open her account and chops on, but the bails didn’t go off. The lights were on, but the wicket didn’t fall. Eventful start.
