Delhi: In the exciting match at the Chinnaswamy Stadium, there was a tremendous competition between Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and UP Warriors. Two sixes, run out in MS Dhoni’s style on the last ball, and the first super over in the history of Women’s Premier League (WPL) – this match was everything in this match. Finally, Sophie Eclestone’s brilliant performance won UP Warriors.
Batting first, RCB scored a respectable score of 180/6. The biggest contribution to this was ELISE Perry, who scored an unbeaten 90 in 56 balls. Danny Wyt-Hodes also played an important innings of 57 runs.
Sophie Eclestone’s amazing batting
UP Warriors needed 18 runs in the last over. In such a situation, Sophie Aclastone (33 runs, 19 balls) showed a brilliant game. He hit Renuka Singh’s balls two consecutive sixes and a four, which requires just 2 runs off the last two balls. He took a single on the next ball and now Kranti Gaur had to score the last run.
However, Richa Ghosh run out Eclestone while fielding a brilliant fielding. On seeing this run out, fans immediately remembered MS Dhoni’s prestigious run-out off the final ball against Bangladesh during the T20 World Cup 2016, which was coincidentally at the same place. Even MS played an active role in avoiding throwing the ball and running fast with the batsman, which helped India to register a famous victory.
UP Warriors won in super over
In the super over, Grace Harris and Chiinel Henry batted for UP Warriors, Kim Garth for RCB bowled brilliantly and conceded just 8 runs and Henry was caught by Richa Ghosh.
Mandhana and Richa Ghosh chased the target for RCB, but Sophie Aclestone did wonders in bowling this time. He conceded just 3 runs in the first five balls, from which RCB needed 6 runs to win on the last ball. Captain Mandhana could not reach the boundary on the last ball and RCB lost the super over by 4 runs.
