WPL HIGHLIGHTS: Mumbai Indians beat RCB by 9 wickets - Updates, Results, Scores, Blog
GOLDEN DUCK, HEATHER KNIGHT!
This is turning from bad to worse within the blink of an eye for RCB. Heather Knight looks to work Hayley Matthews through the leg side but the ball straightens a touch, hits the batters pad and goes on to hit the top of off-stump.
Matthews is on a hat-trick.
SMRITI MANDHANA, OUT!
RCB are losing the plot now. Another big wicket as Smriti Mandhana falls to Hayley Matthews. She tries to step down and clear the infield on the offside, but the bat turns in her hands and ends up offering a dolly to Issy Wong at backward point.
RCB have slipped from 39/0 to 43/3 in just six balls.
RCB: 43/3 (5.2)
DISHA KASAT, OUT!
Saika Ishaque tosses one up and Disha Kasat looks to step down, but the ball dips down to york the batter and drifts in to hit the base of leg stump. Disha Kasat, who was promoted up the order ahead of Ellyse Perry, has to walk back for a duck.
RCB: 39/2 (4.4)
SOPHIE DEVINE, OUT!
Sophie Devine was looking dangerous, but she has found the fielder to perfection. Looks to slog sweep Saika Ishaque once again over the ropes, but ends up hitting it straight to Amanjot Kaur at deep-mid wicket.
RCB: 39/1 (4.2)
RCB chants grow louder at Brabourne
"RCB, RCB," chants grow louder at the Brabourne stadium as Smriti Mandhana elegantly drives Issy Wong through the extra cover region. The southpaw then edges one to third-man boundary via a vacant slip, before smashing one to the leg side boundary. 12 off the over.
RCB: 35/0 (4)
Some mind games from Ishaque
Saika Ishaque hit for a boundary on her very first delivery, but comes back strongly in the over against Sophie Devine. The left-arm spinner pulled out her delivery stride twice in the over. She then switched to over the wicket for the final ball, before deciding otherwise.
RCB: 22/0 (3)
Six off the second over
Nat Sciver-Brunt takes the new ball from the other hand and is pulled for a boundary by Smriti Mandhana.
RCB: 17/0 (2)
Good start for RCB
A boundary through covers for Smriti Mandhana, before Sophie Devine slog sweeps the first delivery she faces over the fence for a six.
