- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.6 What a start! Devine has picked her second wicket here and it's the big wicket of Healy. Short of a full length on middle, Healy tries to go over mid-on only to be caught by Asha. Is this going to RCB's day!? 2/20.2 Devine strikes. Fuller on middle stump, Vaidya goes for a flick and misses. A huge appeal from the bowler and the umpire's finger goes up immediately. Vaidya wants to review it. No bat involved. Umpire's call on DRS, so RCB have their first wicket 1/16.2 Asha, Asha, Asha! Fuller on off, Navgire goes for a swipe but doesn't get the timing right and ends up being caught by keeper. Warriorz four down 29/41.6 Edged and taken! Back of a length delivery around off, McGrath looks to punch it through the offside but is caught behind by Ghosh after an outside edge. And UP are 5/3 in no time 5/315.3 Perry's delighted this time with a more bonafide wicket as Harris nicks the bouncer to the keeper. Was coming in with the angle and going just down leg. Harris tried to play it a bit fine but could only tickle it. No mistake from Richa this time. Pouches it to her left. Replay from the timeout shows Perry giving a pep talk at the timeout. She's led from the front on return 101/78.1 Second wicket for Asha! Tossed up on middle and leg, Simran lofts it toward legside with hardly any timing on it as Kanika, the midwicket fielder, completes an easy catch to leave warriorz reeling. 31/515.1 Perry shakes her head after a full toss is hit straight to deep midwicket but it's one of the 'we take those' wickets. The ball was at leg stump and Deepti tried to whack it away but the flick went straight to Shreyanka. Deepti grimaces on her way back 100/617.2 Sehrawat goes across and Perry goes straight, you miss I hit stuff. The batter telegraphed the movement to the off side. Perry, the pro, landed it around length outside off and beat the attempted paddle to rattle timber. Off stump hit. Big smile from Perry. 112/819.3 Ecclestone runs the third run on her own, Gayakwad was never interested and did not look back until it was too late. Ecclestone smashes her bat on something inside the boundary board. Was a length ball on the pads, Gayakwad tried to nudge it. Went fine and to the left of the keeper. Was a long chase to deep fine leg, Kasat and Patil were involved in the stopp, parry and throw to the keeper. Run out was easily completed as Gayakwad never took off. 135/1019.2 Reaches out and gets a top edge. Goes up and somehow finds short leg. Was slow on a length at 88kph. Anjali made room but had to stretch 'cos it was outside off. Tried to carve it but it ballooned back, off the top edge. 133/9Extras12 (b 1, lb 6, w 5)TOTAL135 all out (19.3 Overs, RR: 6.92)Fall of wickets: 1-1 (Devika Vaidya, 0.2 ov), 2-2 (Alyssa Healy, 0.6 ov), 3-5 (Tahlia McGrath, 1.6 ov), 4-29 (Kiran Navgire, 6.2 ov), 5-31 (Simran Shaikh, 8.1 ov), 6-100 (Deepti Sharma, 15.1 ov), 7-101 (Grace Harris, 15.3 ov), 8-112 (Shweta Sehrawat, 17.2 ov), 9-133 (Anjali Sarvani, 19.2 ov), 10-135 (Sophie Ecclestone, 19.3 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.6 Grace gets the better of Devine! Full on off, brings out the slog-sweep but can't clear the fielder in the deep as McGrath completes the catch. Gone for a 6-ball 14 14/11.3 Mandhana falls to an offspinner again! Fuller and slower in the air on middle, Mandhana looks to sweep and completely misses it. RCB are two down inside two overs 14/26.1 Straight to mid-on! Tossed up on leg, Perry comes down the track to heave it over onside fielder and gets caught without much power on that shot to clear Ecclestone 43/38.6 Knight gone! Full on middle stump, tries to sweep toward square leg but hits it straight into the hands of Navgire at the deep. Big, big wicket for Warriorz 60/416.4 Kanika Ahuja goes too far across and loses her leg stump. Her 46 should be a match-winning knock but won't see it through. The batter went across very early and Ecclestone hurled in a yorker to beat the sweep and hit timber. The bowler celebrates with a heart-shaped hand gesture 120/5Extras6 (b 4, w 2)TOTAL136/5 (18 Overs, RR: 7.55)Fall of wickets: 1-14 (Sophie Devine, 0.6 ov), 2-14 (Smriti Mandhana, 1.3 ov), 3-43 (Ellyse Perry, 6.1 ov), 4-60 (Heather Knight, 8.6 ov), 5-120 (Kanika Ahuja, 16.4 ov)
