WPL 2024, RCB vs GG

Thank you so much for tuning in tonight for the live coverage. It was a wonderful by the home side and they would want to continue that. Alright, we will see you tomorrow for the live coverage of match number 6 between Mumbai Indians and UP Warriorz. This is Arnav Chopra, bidding you, Good Night!

WPL 2024, RCB vs GG: Player of the Match

For her outstanding performance with the ball, Renuka Singh Thakur has been awarded player of the match for picking two wickets for 14 runs in four overs. 

WPL 2024, RCB vs GG: RCB Win By Eight Wickets

That is a perfect result for Smriti Mandhana-led Royal Challengers Bangalore. Firstly, they inflicted damage with the ball by getting early wickets, then controlled the innings by dismissing the batters regularly restricting the opposition to 107. Later, Smriti's blitzkrieg and a decent performance by Ellyse Perry and Sabbhineni Meghana took them to an eight wicket victory on their home ground.

WPL 2024, RCB vs GG: Game, Set, Match For RCB , RCB:110/2 (12.3)

That's it. RCB have won this encounter easily with their all-round performance. Perry finds another boundary and gets the side to their second consecutive victory this year. Game finished inside 13 overs. That's the quality of their side.

WPL 2024, RCB vs GG: Hundred Up, RCB: 103/2 (11.4)

They are inches away from victory and Ellyse Perry has continued to attack since she has arrived at the crease. Brings the hundred for the side with a boundary.

WPL 2024, RCB vs GG: Meghana Clears The Ropes, RCB: 91/2 (10.2)

Ohh! Good shot. Meghana has used her feet to smash one over deep extra cover for 6 against Kanwar. That is some good batting by RCB's first down batter. Just seventeen needed now.

WPL 2024, RCB vs GG: Perry Takes Over, RCB: 85/2 (10)

After Smriti Mandhana's wicket fell, Ellyse Perry has managed to find two boundaries. RCB have kept the net run rate up since the start of this innings and they continue to do so. Great intent.

WPL 2024, RCB vs GG: Mandhana Out, RCB: 72/2 (8.4)

Stunned silence in the crowd as skipper Smriti Mandhana has been caught and bowled by the bowler Tanuja Kanwar. Huge wicket this but I'm afraid that it has come a little late for the opposition. RCB have been cruising until now and I'm sure with the firepower to come, they will continue to boss this game.

WPL 2024, RCB vs GG: Strategic Timeout, RCB: 69/1 (8)

What a great period of play this for the home side RCB. They have been absolutely magnificent with the bat especially the skipper Smriti Mandhana who is batting on the score of 41 for which she has taken just 24 balls, as of now. Just 39 required now off 72 deliveries. Should be a cakewalk.

WPL 2024, RCB vs GG: Meghana Joins The Party, RCB: 64/1 (7.2)

Sabbhineni Meghana has now joined the party for RCB. She has found two consecutive boundaries. When runs flow, they flow in numbers. Excellent result for the home side. Too good for the opposition.

WPL 2024, RCB vs GG: Smriti Goes Big, RCB: 56/1 (7)

Wow! That is Smriti Mandhana at her very best. Smashes went down the ground to bag the maximum. Nothing can stop her at the moment.

WPL 2024, RCB vs GG: RCB Going Strong, RCB: 45/1 (5)

Sabbhineni Meghana has created an instant impact for RCB at the crease as she found two boundaries in the fifth over versus Bryce. The home side are regularly finding boundaries and this is all they need at the moment.

WPL 2024, RCB vs GG: First One Down, RCB: 32/1 (3.2)

Ashleigh Gardner has struck. Sophie Devine has to walk back to the hut. RCB loses their first. They need plenty of those, Giants. It was a good catch by Meghna Singh at backward square leg.

WPL 2024, RCB vs GG: Smriti On Fire, RCB: 32/0 (3)

Smriti is not holding herself back as she takes on Meghna Singh in the 3rd over with two consecutive boundaries. That's the start RCB needed and that's the start Smriti has provided. Surely, she is back in form now.

WPL 2024, RCB vs GG: Flying Start For RCB, RCB: 23/0 (2)

Two more boundaries in the second over for RCB, courtesy of Smriti and Sophie both getting one piece against Scotland's Kathryn Bryce. They are off to a flyer now and with this rate, the match might end inside 10-12 overs now.

WPL 2024, RCB vs GG: Smriti Goes Berserk, RCB: 13/0 (1)

Extremely good start this for rcb and Smriti Mandhana who took Lea Tahuhu for three boundaries in the very first over of the game. She played three wonderful shots against the Kiwi Pacer to provide her side with the desired momentum in the first over. She needs more runs, Smriti.

WPL 2024, RCB vs GG: Second Innings Begin, RCB Need 108 to win

Alright, we're back for the second innings of the game. Smriti Mandhana will face the first ball against Lea Tahuhu while Sophie Devine will partner the RCB skipper. Here we go!

WPL 2024, RCB vs GG: End of First Innings, GG: 107/7 (20)

That was a very good first half for the home side RCB who managed to restrict Gujarat to a paltry total of 107 in their 20 overs while picking up seven of the wickets. They will be mighty pleased with this effort whereas the opposition side would be quite disappointed with how they turned out today. Dayalan Hemalatha scored a gritty 31* to get them past 100 while Sophie Molineux was star of the show for RCB. So, here is the equation. RCB need 108 to win this game. Stay tuned. We'll be back in a while.

WPL 2024, RCB vs GG: Seven Down, GG: 98/7 (19)

7 down for Gujarat as Sneh Rana perishes for 12. She tries coming down the track only to miss the ball which was collected neatly by keeper Richa Ghosh who dislodges the bails in a moment. Sophie Molineux gets her third to finish the spell of 3/25 (4).

WPL 2024, RCB vs GG: Six By Hemalatha, GG: 97/6 (18.4)

What a shot that is by Hemalatha who comes down the track and smashes one over long-on boundary for six. Much needed strike this. They need more of these.

WPL 2024, RCB vs GG: Dropped, GG: 83/6 (17.3)

Two chances in two balls and rcb have missed both. The first one was a shy at the stumps by keeper Richa Ghosh who missed the stumps which could have been out whereas the second one was a dropped chance by fielder Ellyse Perry who put down Hemalatha at deep backward square leg.

WPL 2024, RCB vs GG: Bryce Departs Too, GG: 73/6 (16.1)

Bowled Her! Sophie Molineux has knocked over Kathryn Bryce. Where is this game heading now? It's into the hands of RCB, surely. They are six down now which much on the board. Cramped for room and cleaned up with a beauty.

WPL 2024, RCB vs GG: Gardner Departs, GG: 70/5 (15.1)

Massive moment in the game for Royal Challengers Bangalore and Gujarat Giants, as Ashleigh Gardner departs without doing much of the damage. This is a big breakthrough as she could have been dangerous at the back end of the innings. Plays the big heave but only gets it straight up in the air which gets caught by skipper Mandhana at extra cover. Georgia Wareham gets the prized wicket. They are in trouble now, 5 down for 70 with still 5 overs remaining. Can someone rescue their innings? We'll wait and see.

WPL 2024, RCB vs GG: Strategic Time-Out, GG: 56/4 (13)

Okay, we're now into the second strategy timeout of the game. Gujarat seems like have lost the plot after four breakthroughs. Meanwhile, RCB are in the driver's seat as they have managed to pick wickets on regular basis and contain the scoring rate. The next seven overs are going to give us an indication where this match is heading.

WPL 2024, RCB vs GG: Another One Down, GG: 50/4 (11)

Ohhh dearr!!! What's happening out here? Miscommunication and Harleen Deol has ran herself out. It's turning out to be terrible for GG now. Harleen ran half-way through Ash Gardner wasn't even out of the crease. There wasn't a run there, though.

WPL 2024, RCB vs GG: Third Down, GG: 45/3 (10.2)

Veda Krishnamurthy is gone this time. She has played it straight into hands of deep mid-wicket. She's back for 9. Placement could have been better as the shot was well-timed.

WPL 2024, RCB vs GG: Decision Overturned, GG: 44/2 (9.5)

I must say, poor umpiring this. There could never be a more clear bat edge than this. Ball changed direction after hitting the bat and umpire gave Veda out. She reviewed it straightway and got the decision in her favour.

WPL 2024, RCB vs GG: Strategic Timeout, GG: 43/2 (9)

Good start by RCB as they have controlled the Net Run Rate of Gujarat while bagging two crucial wickets of Beth Mooney and Phoebe Litchfield. Giants will have to up the ante now.

WPL 2024, RCB vs GG: Decision Overturned, GG: 39/2 (7.4)

WPL 2024, RCB vs GG: First Six, GG: 39/2 (7.2)

Veda Krishnamurthy will not hold back. We know that. That's a decent strike for six against Ellyse Perry. That's the best form of defence at the moment- Attack. And she has done that over deep backward point region.

WPL 2024, RCB vs GG: Litchfield Stumped, GG: 30/2 (6.2)

Another good piece of work by Richa Ghosh from behind the stumps. That was a good delivery by Renuka and Ghosh, removed the bails after appealing for caught behind. There was nothing on the ultraedge as the batter Phoebe Litchfield was found on the line when the bails were removed. TV Umpire took long time to make that decision. Very good cricket all-round from RCB. Gujarat in trouble, as always. Veda Krishnamurthy is in now.

WPL 2024, RCB vs GG: Harleen On The Move, GG: 24/1 (5.4)

Harleen Deol has finally managed to break the shackles with two boundaries in the over against Shreyanka Patil. She was 3 off 13 balls before the beginning of this over. These two fours will help her, surely.

WPL 2024, RCB vs GG: Just Short Of Fielder, GG: 13/1 (4.1)

There was a slip in place for Litchfield as Thakur was moving the ball a bit. The plan almost worked, almost as the batter tried driving it but only managed an edge which was inches away from the Georgia Wareham at first slip.

WPL 2024, RCB vs GG: Run-Out Appeal, GG: 13/1 (3.1)

Good work this by keeper Richa Ghosh. She didn't took much time in throwing the ball towards stumps to try and run out Phoebe Litchfield. However, the batter was comfortably inside her crease.

WPL 2024, RCB vs GG: Mooney Loses Her Stumps, GG: 11/1 (2.3)

Beth Mooney Cleaned Up By Renuka (Source: WPLT20.com)

Huge moment in the game. Skipper Beth Mooney has been cleaned up here by Renuka Singh. That's some delivery. Nips back in and Mooney has played that back onto her stumps after an inside edge. Gujarat loses their first. Now, then, the old problem resurfaces.

WPL 2024, RCB vs GG: RCB Review For Wide, GG: 7/0 (1.3)

Okay, Good review this by RCB for a wide that was given on the field. Sophie Devine, the bowler and skipper Smriti had a chat as they went upstairs. Turns out there's an edge. It has been turned into a legal delivery now.

WPL 2024, RCB vs GG: First Boundary, GG: 5/0 (1)

First four for Beth Mooney and Gujarat Giants, comes in the first over of the game itself. Good start for GG. They have to save their wickets upfront.

WPL 2024, RCB vs GG: Out Walk The Players

RCB (being RCB) begin their campaign with a cliffhanger-esque contest. Fortunately for them, Mandhana's girls were on the winning side of the line. GG, on the other end, were clueless in their first match of the season as the defending champions thwarted them on the other night. Nevertheless, Gujarat would be eyeing their first win of the season while Royal Challengers Bangalore would look to make it two in two. 

Another day and another clash in the Women's Premier League (WPL 2024). On Tuesday, Smriti Mandhana's Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) will be at loggerheads with the Beth Mooney-led Gujarat Giants (GG) at Benguluru's M. Chinnaswamy Stadium.
