- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.6 Renuka does have her revenge! Harris what have you done? An inswinger pushed through very full and Harris can't get under it enough and all she can manage is a tame chip to mid-on where Gardner does the needful 2/19.3 On a length around middle and off, Mandhana misses her flick and Gardner reviews without consulting anyone!. Was the angle taking it down leg? No bat involved. And it's a great review because DRS has the ball crashing into leg stump! Gardner wins another battle with Mandhana, who has to walk off for 26. Slaps her thigh in frustration as she walks off 69/31.6 Chopped on! Giants are towering over RCB in the powerplay here. Length ball swings in a touch, cramping Voll for room. She looked for the cut when it was too close to her body for that shot and ends up playing it onto her pads and the ball ricochets onto the stumps 9/217.2 Castled! Naik's fun comes to an end. She again used her feet, backing away leg side. Gardner saw it coming and targeted the stumps. Naik misses and Gardner hits the top of leg stump. Anyway, a very fine knock from Naik comes to an end 142/516.6 That's a full toss that cramps Ghosh and she can only swing it down to Gardner at long-on! Ghosh reviews for the height of that full toss. It looks okay but the tracker will confirm. And yeah, that's a fair delivery so that ends Ghosh's cameo. Devine delivers a key, key wicket 138/419.4 Slower ball does the trick for Kashvee Gautam. Radha looks to bash away this pace-off length ball outside off, but it's too close to Fulmali. Didn't hit it very well either and it was a simple catch in the end 170/6Extras21 (b 5, lb 1, w 15)TOTAL178/6 (20 Overs, RR: 8.9)Fall of wickets: 1-2 (Grace Harris, 0.6 ov), 2-9 (Georgia Voll, 1.6 ov), 3-69 (Smriti Mandhana, 9.3 ov), 4-138 (Richa Ghosh, 16.6 ov), 5-142 (Gautami Naik, 17.2 ov), 6-170 (Radha Yadav, 19.4 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.1 Castles Mooney first ball! Mooney's middling WPL 2026 continues. This is a length ball around middle and off and it just shapes back in and skids on to beat the flick and hit the off bail 3/11.5 Both openers are gone! This is a short ball but it doesn't rise as much. Devine doesn't move her feet and just swings across the line. It's the longer boundary too. Voll at deep midwicket runs to her right, gets in position and makes no mistake. RCB's habit of good starts with the ball continues 4/26.6 This time it does carry to Radha Yadav! Full and wide again and like an action replay of the first ball of this innings, Anushka looks to go inside out but slices it. The bottom hand again comes off. Radha runs in from the boundary at deep point and slides in front to leave GG four down. 34/42.5 And Bell knocks Kanika over. Who said she's only good against the right-handers? A gem from Bell, full and swinging back into her. Kanika misses her swipe and it goes off her pads onto the stumps. RCB's new-ball heroics are on full display even in Vadodara! 5/316.2 Wide yorker, Gardner reaches out and hits it straight to backward point. Satghare appeals, and the umpire sends it up for a check for bump ball. No, that's gone straight off the bat! Gardner's gone and Satghare has her third 97/710.1 RCB's win percentage will only go up with that! Radha runs through Kashvee! Tosses this up full and with pressure building, Gautam launched into a slog across the line but misses completely and hears the death rattle 48/512.2 Easy as you like it and de Klerk has a second. Short outside off, cramping Wareham for room. Wareham backed away and looked to pull this but gets a top edge that loops up and it's catching practice for Satghare at midwicket 56/617.5 Patil gets on the board! Flung full outside off, asking Fulmali to reach out and hit to the longer side. She goes for the big swing and Grace Harris runs in from long-on and takes a juggling catch 103/8Extras5 (lb 3, w 2)TOTAL117/8 (20 Overs, RR: 5.85)Did not bat: Happy KumariFall of wickets: 1-3 (Beth Mooney, 1.1 ov), 2-4 (Sophie Devine, 1.5 ov), 3-5 (Kanika Ahuja, 2.5 ov), 4-34 (Anushka Sharma, 6.6 ov), 5-48 (Kashvee Gautam, 10.1 ov), 6-56 (Georgia Wareham, 12.2 ov), 7-97 (Ashleigh Gardner, 16.2 ov), 8-103 (Bharti Fulmali, 17.5 ov)
