RCB vs UPW, WPL 2023: Healy’s 96 helps Warriorz thump Bangalore by 10 wickets
The HinduThe script remains woeful for the Royal Challengers Bangalore in the inaugural edition of the Women’s Premier League. Mandhana won the toss and opted to bat first and came in with a side featuring three changes - Megan Schutt sat out for Erin Burns while Sahana Pawar and Komal Zanzad replaced Preeti Bose and Poonam Khemnar respectively. Mandhana’s struggles against off-spin came to the fore once more when Rajeshwari Gayakwad bowled one outside off stump, forcing her to slice the ball. Wickets in fell succession and Perry took control of the middle overs with Shreyanka Patil and Erin Burns chipping in at the other end. Sophie Ecclestone, who nipped Devine’s promising start in the bud, then essayed the clean-up act as she took out Shreyanka, Renuka Singh and Sahana to restrict RCB to just 138 in 19.3 overs.
