Royal Challengers Bengaluru posted a formidable 178 for six in their Women's Premier League clash against Gujarat Giants. The innings was spearheaded by Gautami Naik, who delivered a stellar performance with a score of 73 runs from 55 deliveries, including seven boundaries and one six.
RCB faced early setbacks, losing two wickets for just nine runs. However, a crucial 60-run partnership between captain Smriti Mandhana and Naik steadied the ship. Following Mandhana's departure, Naik partnered with Richa Ghosh, who contributed a quickfire 27 off 20 balls, further bolstering the score.
