This win not only secured RCB’s place in the WPL 2024💙 playoffs but also signifꦫicantly dented MI’s hopes of finishing atop the points table.
MI’s Batting Collapses Under Perry’s Spell:

However, the tide turned dramatically in the ninth over when Perry entered the attack. She claimed two crucial wickets in quick succession – Sajana (30) and Harmanpreet Kaur (0) – to dismantle MI’s batting momentum. Perry’s relentless bowling continued in the following over, dismissing Amelia Kerr (L♊BW) and Amanjot Kaur (bowled) to leave MI reeling at 65/5.
