RCB Secures Third Consecutive Win

Navi Mumbai: The Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) celebrated their third consecutive victory in the Women's Premier League on Friday, defeating the Gujarat Giants by 32 runs. This win was propelled by a remarkable century partnership between Indian players Radha Yadav and Richa Ghosh, alongside a stellar five-wicket haul from spinner Shreyanka Patil.

After being put to bat first, RCB found themselves in a precarious position at 43 for 4 in the sixth over. However, Yadav (66 runs off 47 balls) and Ghosh (44 runs off 28 balls) combined forces to build a solid 105-run partnership for the fifth wicket, leading RCB to a total of 182 for 7.

In response, the Gujarat Giants struggled against RCB's bowlers, getting bowled out for 150 runs in just 18.5 overs. Patil's impressive bowling figures of 5 for 23 and Lauren Bell's 3 for 29 dismantled the opposition's batting lineup.

Despite a brief resistance from Bharti Fulmali, who scored 39 runs off 20 balls, her dismissal by Bell in the 17th over marked a turning point, leaving the Giants at 139 for 7, from which they could not recover.

Brief scores:

Royal Challengers Bengaluru: 182 for 7 in 20 overs (Radha Yadav 66, Richa Ghosh 44, Nadine de Klerk 26; Renuka Singh 1/41, Kashvee Gautam 2/42, Sophie Devine 3/31).

Gujarat Giants: 150 all out in 18.5 overs (Bharti Fulmali 39; Shreyanka Patil 5/23, Lauren Bell 3/29).
