WPL | Twitter reacts as Deepti skips run-out chance at non-strikerās end and gets punished with no-ball six
The UP Warriorz beat the Royal Challengers Bengaluru by twelve runs in a high-scoring thriller. Georgia Vollās 99 and Deepti Sharmaās three-fer decimated Richa Ghoshās valiant 69 as the hosts earn their first home victory in WPL by knocking off the defending champions in a cliffhanger.
Playing their last game of the league stages, the already-eliminated UP Warriorz were sent in to bat first by RCB captain Smriti Mandhana. Openers Grace Harris and Georgia Voll toom the field by a storm with their willow, aggregating 70 runs inside the powerplay. The pair seemed unstoppable if not for a messy mix-up causing Harrisā departure at 39. After the 77-run opening stand, Kiran Navgire joined Voll in the middle, consolidating 71 runs together before Georgia Wareham struck with the white cherry in the 13th over. Irrespective of the wicket, Voll ensured that the Warriorz capitalised on the shorter boundary side, as UP reached 201/3 in 17 overs. A brilliant five-run over from Ellyse Perry followed before the Vollās unbridled 99 steered Warriorz to 226/4, the highest-ever total in WPL.
Unlike their counterparts, the visitors failed to get a strong start as Smriti Mandhanaās lean patch with the bat continued despite a 22-run over off Grace Harris at the start. The pressure of the hefty chase mounted on the Women in Red and Gold early in the second innings as the hosts picked up wickets regularly following a 70-run powerplay. Three more wickets fell until the eleventh over with the tourists at 107/5. Just when the defending champions were on the brink of an elimination, Richa Ghoshās brutal ball-striking kept them in the hunt as her brilliant fifty steered them to 167/5 with four overs left. Just when the chase seemed to be in RCBās reach, Richa lost her wicket for 69, making way for Sneh Ranaās 6-ball 26 run blitz, curtailing the equation to 15 off seven with a couple of wickets in hand. Subsequently, Rana holed in the deep, followed by Renuka Thakurās reckless runout, leading to RCBās elimination from the ongoing season.
