Super death-over bowling by Georgia Wareham and Sophie Molineux after Sobhana Asha`s 5-22 haul helped Royal Challengers Bangalore prevail over UP Warriorz by two runs in another last-ball thriller in the second match of the Women`s Premier League (WPL) 2024 at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium here on Saturday.
After restricting RCB to 157/6 thanks to a superb all-round effort by their bowling unit despite a blazing 62 by Richa Ghosh and a fine 53 by Sabbineni Meghana, UP Warriorz looked in cruise mode as they needed 15 runs from the last two overs. Deepti Sharma had pulled them closer to the line by hitting back-to-back boundaries on the first two deliveries of the 18th over bowled by Shreyanka Patil. She nailed another boundary off the fifth ball of the over as UP Wariorz scored 14 runs off the over and were looking good for victory.
