Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) superstar Ellyse Perry has been tremendous for her side in the Women's Premier League (WPL) over the three seasons she has played. The Australian, who has brilliant capabilities with both bat and ball, was crucial for her side during their last year's title-winning campaign.

In the ongoing WPL match 7, happening at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru, the Mumbai Indians side, led by Harmanpreet Kaur, won the toss and put the hosts, RCB, into bat at the packed stadium.

RCB started decently, as their all-rounder, Ellyse Perry, walked in at third position and played a solid knock of 81 runs from just 43 deliveries, with 11 fours and two massive sixes to her name. Perry, who is known to be a hard hitter, played an excellent innings to push her side's score to 167 for 7 by the end of their 20 overs.

She was the lone warrior who played a solid knock, giving her side a real chance to defend the score. With this half-century, she now has six fifties to her name in her WPL career since the inception of the league in 2023. 

Currently, she is only behind her Australian teammate and Delhi Capitals' skipper Meg Lanning, who is ruling the charts with seven half-centuries since the beginning. However, Perry has now gone past the MI skipper Harmanpreet Kaur, who was tied with her at five fifties before this game.
