Nat Sciver-Brunt regains confidence after horror vs RCB

Notably, Nat Sciver-Brunt was in the news for the last 24 hours after her last over against RCB in the opening game of WPL 2026. The 2024 WPL winners required 18 runs to win off the last over and Brunt started the things well with two dot deliveries.

RCB had just 0.96% win probability and Nadine de Klerk slammed Brunt for 18 runs off the last four balls. The incident shattered Brunt's confidence, but this knock would certainly boost up the England star.
