"Nice to get a win against a side like Mumbai Indians"- RCB all-rounder Ellyse Perry

Speaking at the post-match presentation after winning the Player of the Match award, Ellyse Perry reflected on the victory and said:

"Sometimes it just goes your way doesn't it? It was just nice to come out and play a great match with the girls. Nice to get a win against a side like Mumbai Indians - it was our first since the competition started. I really enjoy bowling. Our coaches backed me. Just felt that conditions were good. I just managed to find the right spot. The games come thick and fast so you never know how things can turn out."

She continued:

"I loved that partnership with Richa, she released a bit of pressure. It was a tricky chase. Most importantly for our group, we're really growing in the tournament. We're getting used to the conditions in Delhi. Feels really great (to be in the playoffs) after last year. We don't know if we're playing the same opponent in the next game but it's just nice to be there."

Royal Challengers Bangalore will face the second-placed team from the points table in the eliminator of WPL 2024 on March 15.
