    2.1 looks very close and the finger goes up! Fired in full on middle and off. Devine gets down on one knee and swipes across the line. Only swats away a few flies, though, and the ball cannons into her back leg. Impact right in front of middle and Devine, rightly, does not bother with the review! 13/1
    5.1 top edge, and this time it is taken! Hard length on leg stump, and this seems to just stick in the surface. Mandhana is too early into the pull and the ball skews off the top edge. Spoons towards Vrinda at short fine leg, and based on what we have seen already tonight, she was never going to drop that chance. Huge wicket for the Warriorz! 36/2
    16.1 stumped by a mile! Slows it up and shortens her length, perhaps after seeing Meghana coming down the track. Meghana continues anyway and has a wild swish at it. Gets nowhere close to the ball and Healy does the rest behind the stumps. A wicket right after the time-out, and this was one the Warriorz needed dearly! 125/4
    7.5 Ecclestone gets the big fish! Dangles the carrot outside off and Perry's eyes light up. She steps out, trying to go inside out. The only problem, though, is that she has neither kept it down nor has she tried to go over the fielder. Hits it straight to Thakor, who gobbles up a sharp chance reverse-cupped. Another massive moment in the game! 54/3

    18.5 Deepti gets Ghosh! Fired in quick on a length outside off. Ghosh walks across her stumps, trying to lap it fine. Gets too far across, though, and in the end, she helps it right onto off stump. A slightly anti-climactic end but what an innings this has been, it has elevated RCB out of the doldrums and given them a fighting chance! 144/6
    16.4 two in the over for Gayakwad! Another short ball outside off and this seems to just bounce a smidgen extra. Wareham cannot get on top of it and slices it towards Harris at point. Harris judges the trajectory well, stoops down and snaffles up the chance smartly! 125/5

    1.2 cleans her up with an absolute ripper! Gives this a little more air on a length on middle stump. Grips in the surface and straightens. Healy gets squared up and has a hopeful prod at it. Sees the ball sneak past the outside edge and hears the death rattle soon after! Just the start RCB would have wanted! 10/1
    8.1 Vrinda's vigil comes to an end! Looped up on a length outside off. Vrinda, feeling the pinch of the scoring rate, comes down the track and swishes at it. Only connects with fresh air and Ghosh does the rest behind the stumps. Vrinda walks back after a 28-ball 18, and with the required run-rate climbing! 48/2

    8.3 McGrath bites the dust too! Zipped in full on leg stump. McGrath perhaps pre-meditates the sweep and picks too full a ball for the stroke. Sneaks under her bat and crashes into leg stump. Asha is pumped, and the Chinnaswamy crowd is up and about too! 49/3

    16.4 no need for DRS this time! Slowed up delightfully on a length on middle stump. Harris wants to smash this into next week and swipes across the line. Way too early into the stroke, though, and the ball goes past the bat, thudding into the top of off stump. Asha is over the moon; Harris and UPW cannot quite believe what has happened! 127/5
    16.1 there's one of them! Given a bit of air on a length outside off. Sehrawat advances but does not get to the pitch. Goes through with the drive and hits it uppishly towards Mandhana at extra cover, who gets her hands low and snares the chance sharply! Eerily similar to what happened in the first innings, with Gayakwad getting Meghana! 126/4
    16.6 third wicket in the over! What are the UP Warriorz doing?! Throws up the bait outside off and Navgire bites. Hares down the track without reading the length and is a fair distance away from the ball. Slogs wildly (and perhaps blindly) at it and misses. Ghosh collects cleanly and demolishes the stumps with Navgire stranded! A five-wicket-haul for Asha and she has turned the game on its head! 128/6
    18.4 hot knife through butter! Darted in much fuller and quicker on middle and leg. Khemnar seems to be shaping up for another sweep but she has to change her stroke because of how full the ball is. By then it is too late and she plays down the wrong line. Practices the straight drive after hearing the death rattle, and that was perhaps what she should have done. Nevertheless, another twist in this amazing tale! 147/7
