RCB vs UPW: Kanika Ahuja stars in the low-scoring affair
RCB captain Smriti Mandhana won the toss and opted to field first in the game. Sophie Devine vindicated her decision by sending back both UP openers in the very first over, giving a sensational start to the Bangalore side.
Grace Harris (46) and Kiran Navgire (22) tried to rebuild the innings after a poor start. Asha Shobana (2/27) picked up a couple of wickets in the middle overs and dented UP's progress.
Grace Harris found some support from Deepti Sharma as the duo put on a 69-run partnership for the sixth wicket to inject momentum into the innings. UP Warriorz (UPW) eventually got bundled out for 135 in 19.3 overs.
In reply, Sophie Devine (14) hit a couple of boundaries in the first over but got out for the last ball. RCB skipper Smriti Mandhana once again failed to deliver for her side. Deepti Sharma cleaned her up for a duck in the second over to give UP a decent start.
Kanika Ahuja (46) played a match-defining knock in the middle order and helped her side to their maiden victory in the tournament after five straight losses. Richa Ghosh (31*) supported her well and finished the game by batting sensibly.
UPW captain Alyssa Healy reflected on the loss during the post-match presentation, saying:
"We weren't up to standard tonight. We fought hard for what was a pretty under-par score but we just weren't good enough. I think the wicket was holding a bit. It was like wet clay. It was a bit tacky earlier and we probably got a little bit ahead of ourselves upfront."
She added:
"Spin to win tonight - it was gripping especially when the ball was relatively new. We knew we needed to take wickets tonight and we felt spin was the way to that. We gave it our best but 130 odd on a ground like this isn't enough. "
