Harmanpreet Kaur's wicket against RCB (Source:@wplt20/X.com)
RCB and MI are two of the most followed franchises in WPL and the matches between the two teams have produced some exciting thrillers. The same trend continued in the 2025 edition as the match went right down to the wire at the Chinnaswamy stadium.
MI eventually won the game in the final over, but it was quite a roller-coaster ride and the moment that brought RCB on top was the wicket of Harmanpreet Kaur. The wicket came in the crunch situation when Harmanpreet was threatening to take MI over the line. She was batting on 50 and and MI needed 24 off 17 balls at that time.
RCB needed her wicket desperately and that's when Georgia Wareham produced magic and got the big wicket of Harmanpreet Kaur. It was a shortish delivery, around off and Harmanpreet went back to cut it. However, all she could manage was an outside edge and Richa Ghosh behind the stumps grabbed a fine catch.
Naturally, RCB players including captain Smriti Mandhana were delighted with the wicket and the Chinnaswamy stadium found its voice yet again. On the next ball, Sajeevan Sajana was also removed and it looked like RCB would win the game.
However, Amanjot Kaur and Kamalini found some crucial boundaries in the tense situation and managed to take their side over the line in an absolute thriller. The win gives MI their second win of the season in three games while RCB were handed their first loss after starting off the season with two wins.
