- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR7.1 a gift of a wicket for RCB! Oh, no. Harris was looking mighty dangerous. Don't think the third umpire was even needed there. because the throw from cover was cleanly collected by Warehem as she broke the bails. Good stop and throw by Mandhana. Harris had nowhere to go but the dressing room once she was sent back by Voll. 77/112.2 There's the breakthrough! Navgire went for the glory hit to get to the fastest fifty in the WPL. Got more height than distance. It was tossed up wide outside off, she looked to get on a knee and go over the on side. Only skied it high to long-off, end of the 31-ball 71-run stand 148/216.3 A second wicket for Wareham and the dangerous Henry is out of here! Shortish and spinning away outside off, she goes deep in the crease and slaps it to Mandhana at cover-point 191/319.4 Cleaned her up! Dean win the English battle. Spears it full and straight on the stumps, Ecclestone looks to go across the line, misses on the inside and sees the middle stump pegged back 223/419.6 Voll denied a century, she finishes 99 not out! Ohhh, these fine margins. She joins Sophie Devine to equal the highest individual score in the WPL. Dean fires it full, she can only drill it as far as mid-on, who fires a quick throw to Ghosh seeing Deepti charge back for the second. She turns back but it is too late as Ghosh catches her short. UPW finish on 225 for 5, the highest total in the WPL 225/5Extras8 (lb 3, w 5)TOTAL225/5 (20 Overs, RR: 11.25)Fall of wickets: 1-77 (Grace Harris, 7.1 ov), 2-148 (Kiran Navgire, 12.2 ov), 3-191 (Chinelle Henry, 16.3 ov), 4-223 (Sophie Ecclestone, 19.4 ov), 5-225 (Deepti Sharma, 19.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.3 no timing and the lofted hit is mistimed into the hands of Voll at long-on. This wasn't there for the lofted hit, Meghana didn't get underneath the flight. Also done in by the dip. Super bowling from Ecclestone for throwing it up and allowing the pitch to do something. 43/22.1 pulled straight to midwicket. This was short, a very average ball that she'd fancy putting away most times. No timing or power behind the pull. Even Voll is surprised by how slowly it came into her hands. 29/16.5 what a massive moment for Sarvani in her very first game, sees the back of Perry! And it's a dream ball too. Shapes back in from outside off, Perry looks to mow this into the leg side and misses it completely. Sarvani pumps her fists in joy, nerves nearly pop. Deepti does a Usain Bolt-like sprint towards her bowler. Big, big moment. Is that the season for RCB? 76/37.3 Chetry grabs a stunner! Pace off from Henry, Raghvi looks to go over cover again but is done in by the slowness of the delivery, and the thick edge is pouched one-handed by the keeper. RCB in all sorts of trouble and are right on the edge. 80/416.3 Swung away, straight to the fielder! Is that the end of RCB's hopes? Ghosh is dejected, Deepti and UPW rejoice. Quicker one on a length on off again, asks Ghosh to take on the longer boundary. She goes for the heave and finds Henry at deep midwicket to perfection. Did not have to move an inch 171/610.6 Cleaned up! Deepti yells at Ahuja in celebration. Lands it on a length on leg, she backs away to cut away through off. But it skids on and makes a mess of the stumps. Deepti strikes first over 107/517.6 Ecclestone signs off from Lucknow with a wicket! Shortish and just outside ff, Wareham goes back to slap it over cover but hits it straight to Goel, the sub, there 183/817.4 And Ecclestone has the last laugh, literally! Smiles at her England team-mate as Dean walks back. Fires it full and just outside off, Dean looks to scoop the full toss away but does so to Goud at short fine leg 182/718.6 Swings hard and finds the fielder! You cannot script this! Deepti stares Rana off the field, celebrations not even in her mind. Once again Rana charges down and swings hard at a length ball, finds a calm Khemnar at deep square leg. Throws her head back in disappointment and walks back for 26 off 6, high intent in EVERY single ball she faced 211/919.3 Cannot find the gap because Khemnar does brilliantly well with a full-stretch dive! And that creates a run-out that ENDS RCB'S CAMPAIGN IN WPL 2025! Drilled through the off side, she gets around from cover-point to her right, parries it to her right, from where Deepti throws it calmly to Voll to do the rest. Renuka was down in search of a run and was comfortably short of the crease 213/10Extras7 (nb 1, w 6)TOTAL213 all out (19.3 Overs, RR: 10.92)Fall of wickets: 1-29 (Smriti Mandhana, 2.1 ov), 2-43 (Sabbhineni Meghana, 3.3 ov), 3-76 (Ellyse Perry, 6.5 ov), 4-80 (Raghvi Bist, 7.3 ov), 5-107 (Kanika Ahuja, 10.6 ov), 6-171 (Richa Ghosh, 16.3 ov), 7-182 (Charlie Dean, 17.4 ov), 8-183 (Georgia Wareham, 17.6 ov), 9-211 (Sneh Rana, 18.6 ov), 10-213 (Renuka Singh, 19.3 ov)
