Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) didnt have an ideal start to their campaign, but captain Smriti Mandhana was really happy to secure a victory. The defending champions faced a stiff challenge after conceding the fourth-highest total in Womens Premier League (WPL) history. However, they mounted a remarkable chase, overhauling 202 in style. Key contributions from Richa Ghosh, Kanika Ahuja, and Ellyse Perry proved instrumental in their triumph, and Mandhana lauded her middle order for stepping up after an early collapse.
