5.3 goes straight up, and Sarvani breaks through! Cups her ear in celebration too! Hard length outside off, and this seems to just stick in the surface a touch. Meghana swipes wildly across the line and skies it. Athapaththu calls early from extra cover and does the rest. A wicket in the final over of the powerplay, but not before Meghana got RCB off to a brisk start! 51/1

16.1 holes out to deep mid wicket! Slowed up on a length just outside off. The extra flight means that the ball sticks in the surface and bounces extra. Hits Mandhana high on the bat as she swipes across the line and she picks out Khemnar at deep mid wicket. Mandhana is dejected as she walks back but she has played a stellar hand here! 146/2

19.1 straight to deep mid wicket! Fired in full on leg stump. Perry advances, trying to go over deep mid wicket but the angle means she is a little cramped for room. Cannot extend her arms fully and hits it straight down Khemnar's throat! A stunning knock comes to an end, and the Chinnaswamy is all applause as Perry walks off! 188/3

12.3 beautifully bowled by Molineux, and Ghosh pounces on the stumping! Has the ball on a string, and pitches this outside leg, with Healy backing away. She has a slog at it but the ball drops so viciously that she is a mile away from it. Misses it completely and Ghosh collects smartly to her left, whipping off the bails soon after. Healy, because she had to reach out, over-balanced and crept out of her crease. That is a humongous moment in this game! 113/5

4.2 goes straight up, and taken by Wareham! Length just outside off and Navgire looks to go downtown. Mistimes it completely, though, and the ball comes right off the toe-end. Goes miles up and Wareham tracks it well back-pedalling from mid on. Takes it reverse-cupped in front of her face, and that is a big wicket for RCB! 47/1

6.3 big appeal, not given! Very full on leg stump. Athapaththu plays across the line and gets pinged on the pads. Ghosh is convinced this is out, and seems to talk Mandhana into the review. Couple of key questions here. Did it pitch in line, and did it turn to eventually go past leg stump? Clear gap between ball and bat, so no issues on that front. Ball Tracking reckons it has pitched in line, and that it would have smashed into the middle of middle stump! Athapaththu cannot believe what she has seen, but she has to walk back! What seems to have left the Warriorz puzzled is that the ball, after pitching on leg, went opposite to what a conventional leg-spinner would, hitting middle stump. Pretty sure we have not heard the last of this! 63/2

7.5 Harris bites the dust, and RCB are all over the Warriorz now! Slower ball on a length on middle and leg. Harris walks across and looks for the scoop. No real pace to work with, and Ghosh anticipates brilliantly. She moves to her left even before Harris connects and then leaps high to complete the catch with both hands. Massive, massive moment in the game! 74/3

9.3 Asha gets her sixth wicket against the Warriorz this season! Floats it up enticingly on or just outside leg, and Sehrawat cannot resist the temptation to have a pop at it. She does not get to the pitch, though, and the ball spins just enough to take the outside half of the bat. Loops up towards Bisht at cover point, who makes no mistake! 89/4

17.4 Asha gets Deepti! Throws up the bait just outside off. Deepti's eyes light up and she comes down the track, Swings at it in rather ungainly fashion and cuts across it completely. Bisht and Asha both converge on the ball, and the latter holds on. A big collision avoided too. Deept goes, and with that, perhaps the Warriorz's hopes perish too! 154/6

19.6 Molineux shatters the stumps, and RCB make it three wins out of five at the Chinnaswamy Stadium! Fizzed in full on leg stump. Khemnar swings wildly across the line and only connects with fresh air. Hears the death rattle soon after and RCB are all smiles. They have now won more games this year than they did in the entirety of last season! 175/8

18.2 cleans her up! Loopy full toss on middle and off. On most days, that would have flown into the stands but tonight, Ecclestone has pre-meditated the sweep and walked across her stumps. Misses the ball completely and the ball thuds into the stumps. Wareham has a sheepish smile on her face, but she will take it, as will RCB! 159/7
