MI vs RCB highlights
Defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru, despite already being knocked out of the playoff race, played their hearts out in the final league-stage match against Mumbai Indians as they beat the inaugural champions by 11 runs, handing them their first loss at Brabourne Stadium in the WPL and denying them the opportunity to qualify directly for the final of WPL 2025.
Earlier, Mumbai Indians won the toss and opted to bowl first. RCB got off to a flyer, adding 41 runs for the first wicket before Matthews gave MI their first breakthrough by dismissing Sabbhineni Meghana (26). Skipper Smriti Mandhana (53) scored a brilliant half-century and added 59 runs for the second wicket with Perry before losing her wicket to Amelia Kerr.
Richa Ghosh (36) added quick runs with big shots before Hayley Matthews claimed her second wicket by dismissing her with a flighted delivery. However, Ellyse Perry (49 not out) and Georgia Wareham (31 not out) added 46 runs in just 16 balls for the fourth wicket, taking RCB’s innings to 199 for 3 after 20 overs.
In reply, MI lost openers Hayley Matthews (19) and Amelia Kerr (9) to Sneh Rana, as RCB took an early lead in the match. Kim Garth then dismissed Harmanpreet Kaur (20) to keep RCB ahead.
Nat Sciver-Brunt (69) continued her purple patch to keep MI alive in the chase before losing her wicket to Ellyse Perry. Amanjot Kaur (17) then fell to Heather Graham as MI continued to struggle. G Kamilini (6) was the next to depart as RCB struck late in the innings. Sajeevan Sajana (23) tried to take MI over the line with a couple of sixes in the last over, but they eventually fell 11 runs short of the target, finishing their innings at 188 for 9 after 20 overs.
