    11.4 straight to Mandhana, and Mooney's fun for the night is over! Full just outside off and that is there to be hit. Mooney tries to swat it past mid wicket but does not keep it down. Does not get under it completely either and picks out Mandhana at mid wicket to absolute perfection. Mooney is livid as she storms off, but she has laid a solid foundation for her side! 85/3
    4.3 there's penetration, there's incision and there's RCB's first wicket! Length ball that pitches a smidgen outside off and nips back in sharply. Wolvaardt, without any real footwork, has a massive mow across the line and misses the ball completely. The ball breezes past her flailing blade and then thunders into middle and off stump. Just what RCB would have wanted, although it must be said that Wolvaardt never got going tonight! 35/1
    6.4 Hemalatha's struggles come to an end, and Ahuja makes an instant impact! Floated up on a length outside off. Hemalatha looks at the flight and charges down. Does not get to the pitch, though, and ends up cutting across it too much. Skews off the outside edge and Prema Rawat does the rest at backward point. The Giants, after a promising start, are two down! 41/2

    16.5 gone this time! Dottin has to go, and the RCB flags are out in full force again! Pushed in on a length on middle and off. Dottin clears her front leg and has a massive swipe at it. The bat, though, turns in her hand upon contact and she arrows it straight to Wyatt-Hodge at deep mid wicket. Dottin is dejected as she walks off, but she has injected impetus into this innings! 152/4
    18.3 straight through her, and Wareham finally has something to celebrate! Zipped in full on middle stump. Simran looks for the sweep but aims too square, which is always problematic to a ball that straight. Plays all over it and hears the death rattle soon after. No real celebration from Wareham, which is also understandable! 182/5

    1.2 plumb with a capital P! Slanted in on a back of a length. Pitches on off and then zips in with the angle. Mandhana, caught on the crease and caught trying to play too square, gets rapped right in front. She seemed willing to walk the moment the ball struck her pads but has been convinced to review by her partner. Was it doing too much and missing leg? No bat involved and replays suggest Mandhana was beaten for pace. Well, it is missing leg stump. And off stump. Because it is smashing into middle. Mandhana has to go, and she takes a review along with her! 13/1
    1.6 middle stump out of the ground, and Gardner can do no wrong tonight in Vadodara! Zipped in on a length on off. Wyatt-Hodge shapes for the sweep but does so without getting to the pitch of the ball. Misses it altogether and sees middle stump flattened as she trudges off to the pavilion. The Giants in the ascendancy! 14/2
    12.2 taken on the fence, finally! And Perry perishes, which will be a dagger to RCB hearts! Low full toss on the stumps. Not the greatest ball Satghare will ever bowl in her career but on this occasion, it gets the job done, with Perry clothing her lofted stroke straight to long on. A monumental moment in this game! 109/4
    10.6 soft, soft dismissal, and Dottin breaks this partnership! Slower ball on a length on leg stump. Bist thinks she can help this over square leg but the lack of pace leads to her undoing. Gets no power on her stroke whatsoever and Satghare completes the easiest of catches at square leg! 100/3
