10:36pm Right. That will be that from us for tonight. Hope you enjoyed our coverage and do join us tomorrow as the Delhi Capitals take on the Gujarat Giants. Until next time, this is me (Shashwat) signing off on behalf of Vairavan and everyone else at ESPNcricinfo! Goodbye, goodnight and take care!

Alyssa Healy, the UP Warriorz captain is also the Player of the Match: (On the bowling effort) I was really pleased with the bowlers. Before the game, I thought if we could keep them to under 200, it would be great. To keep a batting unit like that to a score under 140 was phenomenal. It was spin to win tonight. It is still a good batting wicket but our spinners bowled well in partnerships. Anjali held her nerve too. Our bowlers executed really well tonight. Devika came into the top of the order and just showed her class. During the series we played against India, I thought what she was doing so low down the order. We just set the platform early. We got off to a really good start. At the time-out, we discussed about not dragging it out until the final over. Sometimes it comes off, sometimes it doesn't. Today it did and I am really happy about that.

Smriti Mandhana, Royal Challengers Bangalore captain: I think in the last four games, it has been happening. We start well and we lose a cluster of wickets. I will take the blame as well. As a top order batter, we need to put up runs on the board for the bowlers to defend. (On plans in middle overs) We spoke about it before this match that we will try to take 7-8 runs per over but it did not work out today. As top-order batters, we need to bat well and put up a good total to defend. We don't have injuries. We are trying to get a balanced team that can win us a game. I have tried to speak to almost all the players, pep them up and I have to keep doing it. Last week has been tough. Lots to reflect and lots to work on. (On her support) A lot of people have reached out to me and as an international cricketer, we have faced these situations before. I have my family around me always but I always believe that you have to sit by yourself and rectify your mistakes.

Sophie Ecclestone: (On the openers) Healy showed how good he can be. She was unbelievable and a great cameo by Devika as well. Devika taking the pressure off her (Healy) helped her as well. Pleased to get a few wickets on the board as well. I think we bowled a little too quick and today was about changing the pace and slowing it up. I was nervous at one point that I was getting dropped but it is great to have the overseas players that we have. Shabnim has been brilliant around the group.

10:18pm Well, that was a thoroughly dominant display by the UP Warriorz. They restricted RCB to 138 and then their batters, led by Healy, hunted down the total with absolute conviction. This is the first 10-wicket win in this season of the WPL and the fact that it came against RCB sort of highlights the run they are on. Nothing seems to be working for them and after this latest defeat, it will take a herculean turnaround to qualify for the play-offs. UP, meanwhile, now have as many points as the Delhi Capitals, having played the same number of games. And if they can continue playing this way, they could be a problem for many sides in the competition.

Patil to Healy, 1 run, Full delivery outside off stump. Healy dances down the track and looks to smash it into the stands to get to her hundred. She chunks it badly, though, and only picks up a single to deep mid wicket. That, however, is enough for UP Warriorz to notch up their second win of the campaign!
