Sobhana Asha (5/22) spun a web around the batters with her masterful leg spin. They scalped wickets at crucial junctures to help RCB edge out with a narrow victory.
UPW captain Alyssa Healy reflected on the loss during the post-match presentation, saying:
"We got ourselves back in the game and then lost our way. Credit goes to Molienux for bowling beautifully. A lot to be honest. I think the differing level of experience is what we are learning at this stage. Getting ourselves over the finish line is what we have to work on. There is but a lot of positives to take out."
She added:
"We have had our backs to the wall. It didn't look we could take it down to the wire. In T20 cricket you win some you lose some. The message to the girls will be to come back stronger in two days. They have come in nice and early and put in the hard yards in the fielding. Proud of their effort to be honest.
"Vrinda is very exciting. I thought she was outstanding tonight. They will learn from this and get better as the tournament progresses."
