Major contributors were Sabbhineni Meghana and Richa Ghosh, who scored (53) and (62) runs respectively. Before the match, Smriti said-
“I think it's the same wicket like last night. 175 would be a decent score if we play to our strengths.”
However, her team could not reach that expectation. She was able to add (13) runs. Considering the early fall of wickets and poor performance by the openers, (157) seemed like a decent score.
The UP ballers gave a satisfactory performance. Grace, Tahila, Ecclestone, and Deepti, took one wicket each and Gayakwad took (2). UP Warriorz has a strong batting lineup. Expectations were high for Alyssa Healy, considering her latest performances, but Molineux washed away expectations. Things started to tremble from this point on.
Hopes reignited again when Grace and Shweta confronted the RCB bowlers. But soon the partnership broke after Shweta got caught out. Sobhana Asha took (5) wickets. She eliminated Vrinda Dinesh, Tahlia McGrath, Grace Harris, Shweta Sehrawat, and Kiran Navgire.
And, Royal Challengers W won the game by (2) runs.
