- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR7.1 caught superbly on the fence, and Shreyanka has Lanning walking back! Flighted up full just outside off. Lanning clears her front leg and swipes at it. Does not middle it and the ball spoons towards deep mid wicket, where Radha rushes in off the fence and lunges forward. A scratchy Meg Lanning knock comes to an end, and UPW in a spot of bother now! 39/24.2 a wild swing, and that will be that for Deol with the bat! Fullish in the channel and this moves away late. Deol, feeling the pinch of the scoring rate, has an ungainly hack at it. Loses her shape completely and slices across it a little too much. Mandhana settles under it at mid off and does the rest. Bell has something to show for her early toil! 21/17.6 swatted straight to mid on, and Shreyanka has two in the over! This a bit of a drag-down, sitting up just outside off. Litchfield spots it early too and gets a decent chunk of it. The problem, though, is that she cannot get under it enough. Cannot find the gap too and in the end, she could not have picked out the RCB skipper better. Shreyanka jubilant; the Warriorz, jittery! 50/38.1 more catching practice for RCB, and Warriorz four down now! Everything de Klerk is touching is turning into gold. This is on a length just outside off. Navgire has a good-old swipe at it and hits it straight down Smith's throat at deep mid wicket. RCB well in control now! 50/48.2 gone first ball - and the Warriorz are falling like a pack of cards at the DYP! Full and wide outside off. Sehrawat is tempted into the drive and cannot keep it down. Slices it towards backward point, where Reddy moves sharply to her left and snaffles up the chance. Warriorz five down, and de Klerk on a hat-trick! 50/5Extras8 (lb 1, nb 2, w 5)TOTAL143/5 (20 Overs, RR: 7.15)Fall of wickets: 1-21 (Harleen Deol, 4.2 ov), 2-39 (Meg Lanning, 7.1 ov), 3-50 (Phoebe Litchfield, 7.6 ov), 4-50 (Kiran Navgire, 8.1 ov), 5-50 (Shweta Sehrawat, 8.2 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR11.4 taken this time, and there will be no ten-wicket win for RCB! Full and wide outside off. Harris throws her hands at it but cannot keep this down. A tame chip to cover point, and even though this is an anti-climactic end to the innings, take nothing away from it. One of the best and cleanest displays of ball-striking the WPL has seen all these years! 137/1Extras9 (b 4, lb 1, nb 1, w 3)TOTAL145/1 (12.1 Overs, RR: 11.91)Fall of wickets: 1-137 (Grace Harris, 11.4 ov)
