Royal Challengers Bengaluru 180 for 6 (Perry 90 *, Wyatt-Hodge 57) with equal Up warriorz 180 (Ecclestone 33, Sehrawat 31, Rana 3-27)
Great Up warriorz 8 beat RCB 4
An extraordinary night of drama delivered a thriller, with Up Warriorz sending a crowd greater than 28,000 in an amazed silence after RCB failed to eliminate the nine points they needed in the Super Over.
The high octane end
Forty-two needed 18, with two handlers in hand. Ecclestone had plunged 3 on eight balls and had no choice but to go bankrupt, in particular with Chinelle Henry, apparently the last hope for the Warriorz, disappeared.
Ecclestone remained stuck in Georgia Wareham by muscling two six in 13 points. But when Saima Thakor missed a bullet after swinging one from the floor to the 19th, it was on Ecclestone to eliminate a large part of the 18 points they needed for the last six.
Ecclestone struck 17 in an extraordinary sequence of 6, 6, 4, 1, taking Renuka to the cleaners as she missed her lengths several times. But the single of Ecclestone out of the fifth ball that left Warriorz needing 1 of the last ball, brought Kranti Goud recruit on strike.
When Goud missed and the strikers worked, Ghosh made a MS Dhoni, choosing to go up to the strains and drop the guarantees rather than risk a jet of armpits. And just like that, the WPL had its first great more.
Ecclestone’s dream night continues
When Kim Garth played Henry, who had muscled an incredible eight six in his 23 balls 62 against the capitals of Delhi, with a slower delivery with Warriorz needing 47 out of 22, she would not have planned to have to decrease the super.
However, when she did, and conceded only 8 while rejecting Henry again, she would not have imagined finishing on the bad side of the result. But five minutes later, she looked at Agony while Mandhana and Ghosh did not find their reach of strike on the face of a nervous bowling of Ecclestone.
Perry, Wyatt-Hodge settled RCB up
Perry compensates for the early defeat of Mandhana – against Offspin for the 11th time of the WPL – welcoming Ecclestone with four consecutive, its step on the bisect and halfway cover being the show. The approach of Perry, in charge of Perry, brought her the first six when she launched Thakor on the ground. At 42 for 1 at the end of the power game, RCB had a base.
The period of five on the Overs from seven to 11 brought RCB only 33, but the pair was able to throw the switch. Goud, who jostled Wyatt-Hodge with an excellent bumper at the start, was chosen for three consecutive ovens in the 13th.
In doing so, Wyatt -Hodge has shown its range of shots – a cup when it offered a width, a swat return to the launcher when it was dug in short and a boost on additional coverage when it has become full. Wyatt-Hodge spoke of its first WPL half-century on 36 bullets against the side that had exchanged it. But his dismissal brought Warriorz two other counters – from Ghosh and Kanika Ahuja.
But Perry failed to do everything in the overs of death. It has taken the taste for the foreseeable lengths of Deepti Sharma and the bowling alley on the surface by picking it for a sequence of 4,6,4,2 in the penultimate – striking the ball at different arcs of the deep cover with long and deep.
The use of angles by Perry to try to enter the line and sweep the quisors of their lengths was particularly remarkable. She finished unbeaten on 90 out of 56, RCB reaching 105 out of the last nine Overs.
Navgire triggers life in Chase
Navgire ended once again, her simple stand and Diliver mantra bringing her 24 of 12 balls, while she was swinging at a distance in her area before she was upset by trying to Hoick Renuka. The series of low scores of Vrinda Dinesh spread in a fourth game when she chose in the middle of 14 years while Warriorz lost two first.
