Royal Challengers Bengaluru achieved their third consecutive victory in the Women's Premier League, defeating Gujarat Giants by 32 runs on Friday. Despite a shaky start and early wickets, a remarkable 105-run partnership between Radha Yadav and Richa Ghosh for the fifth wicket steered RCB to a strong total of 182 for 7. Yadav scored 66 and Ghosh added 44, with Nadine de Klerk providing a late surge with 26 runs.
The Gujarat Giants began their chase positively, with openers Beth Mooney and Sophie Devine showing aggression. However, wickets fell rapidly as RCB's bowlers, led by Shreyanka Patil and Lauren Bell, applied pressure. Patil claimed a spectacular five-wicket haul, dismantling the Giants' middle order. Bell also contributed significantly with three wickets.
Despite a fighting 39 from Bharti Fulmali, the Gujarat Giants were ultimately bowled out for 150 in 18.5 overs. The disciplined bowling performance from RCB, particularly Patil's masterful spell, ensured they could not recover from the early setbacks, securing a comprehensive win for Bengaluru.
