UP vs RCB, WPL Highlights: Royal Challengers Bengaluru produced a ruthless performance with both bat and ball to crush UP Warriorz by eight wickets and book their place in the Women’s Premier League final. Asked to bowl first, RCB endured early pressure as UP Warriorz surged to 74 without loss inside eight overs, with Deepti Sharma and Meg Lanning dominating the Powerplay.
The momentum shifted dramatically once Nadine de Klerk struck. Her dismissal of Lanning triggered a collapse, and she followed it up by trapping Amy Jones lbw with a clever cross-seam delivery. Grace Harris then tightened the screws, removing Harleen Deol and Chloe Tryon in quick succession as UP Warriorz slid from a position of strength to 103 for four. Despite Deepti’s fluent 55 off 43 balls, the innings never recovered, and UP Warriorz limped to 143 for eight.
RCB’s reply was headlined by an extraordinary assault from Grace Harris. She tore into the UP Warriorz attack from the outset, targeting Kranti Gaud and finding the boundary at will. Harris raced to her half-century off just 28 balls and finished with 75 from 37 deliveries, laced with 13 fours and two sixes. Mandhana played the perfect foil with a polished 26-ball fifty as the pair added 108 runs.
Although Harris fell with only 36 runs required, the result was sealed long before. RCB stormed home with more than ten overs to spare, confirming their place in the final and underlining their status as the team to beat.
