Twitter reacts as Deepti skips run-out chance at non-striker’s end and gets punished with no-ball six



Playing their last game of the league stages, the already-eliminated UP Warriorz were sent in to bat first by RCB captain Smriti Mandhana. Openers Grace Harris and Georgia Voll toom the field by a storm with their willow, aggregating 70 runs inside the powerplay. The pair seemed unstoppable if not for a messy mix-up causing Harris’ departure at 39. After the 77-run opening stand, Kiran Navgire joined Voll in the middle, consolidating 71 runs together before Georgia Wareham struck with the white cherry in the 13th over. Irrespective of the wicket, Voll ensured that the Warriorz capitalised on the shorter boundary side, as UP reached 201/3 in 17 overs. A brilliant five-run over from Ellyse Perry followed before the Voll’s unbridled 99 steered Warriorz to 226/4, the highest-ever total in WPL.

Unlike their counterparts, the visitors failed to get a strong start as Smriti Mandhana’s lean patch with the bat continued despite a 22-run over off Grace Harris at the start. The pressure of the hefty chase mounted on the Women in Red and Gold early in the second innings as the hosts picked up wickets regularly following a 70-run powerplay. Three more wickets fell until the eleventh over with the tourists at 107/5. Just when the defending champions were on the brink of an elimination, Richa Ghosh’s brutal ball-striking kept them in the hunt as her brilliant fifty steered them to 167/5 with four overs left. Just when the chase seemed to be in RCB’s reach, Richa lost her wicket for 69, making way for Sneh Rana’s 6-ball 26 run blitz, curtailing the equation to 15 off seven with a couple of wickets in hand. Subsequently, Rana holed in the deep, followed by Renuka Thakur’s reckless runout, leading to RCB’s elimination from the ongoing season.

Unlucky season.

RCB out! 💔

Stat-padding queen?
