RCB win big as Renuka and Molineux hand Giants a thrashing

Another day, another packed crowd for a Royal Challengers Bangalore game, another win for the home team. RCB took seven games last season to reach four points on the table; in WPL 2024, it's taken them just two as they put up another solid all-round show to continue their winning march by hammering Gujarat Giants by eight wickets at the Chinnaswamy Stadium. It was Renuka Singh who begun the Goliaths' fall in a heavenly spell of new-ball bowling where she took 2 for 14 out her four overs. Sophie Molineux then, at that point, had the center request in a knot, wrapping up with 3 for 25 as Monsters limped to 107 for 7 off their 20 overs. In answer, Smriti Mandhana slammed a 27-ball 43, and S Meghana then proceeded with the energy as RCB hustled to their objective in 12.3 overs to move to the highest point of the focuses table. Renuka 'Swing' assists RCB with holding influence At the throw, RCB skipper Mandhana had expected some early help for her quick bowlers, as has been the situation in a couple of the past games. Furthermore, Renuka didn't dishearten. Monsters had another initial mix in Beth Mooney and Harleen Deol. However, that didn't change their fortunes. Renuka got the ball to circle around, yet it was in the middle between lengths that left the players dumbfounded. Mooney began by moving two fours away off Renuka: one a prospering square drive that got her misguided and the other a wristy flick through midwicket. Renuka didn't take to this compassionate. She got the ball to throw from around wicket point and curve once more into Mooney. The hitter made light of some unacceptable line and found her off post straightened. Then, at that point, came Phoebe Litchfield, elevated to No. 3. Be that as it may, the RCB bowlers had both her and Deol in a tight grip. Goliaths could oversee 16 runs in the initial five overs before three fours in the 6th aided end the powerplay better. Renuka then, at that point, asserted her subsequent wicket taking out Litchfield, who was scattered by some savvy keeping from Richa Ghosh. Renuka had gotten a bigger number of wickets in the one game than she had in the last seven WPL matches consolidated. Goliaths were well and genuinely slice to measure. Goliaths have no responses on Molineux's left side arm turn Molineux was down and out for near a year subsequent to experiencing a leg tendon injury and is compensating for some recent setbacks. She went onto bowl in the 10th over and quickly tracked down her course. She blended her speed and length, and had Veda Krishnamurthy trudge one down profound midwicket's throat in her second finished. She then saw Deol go for a non-existent single and ran her out as Monsters slipped to 50 for 4 in the eleventh over. At the point when she was brought back for her next spell, she represented the wicket of Kathryn Bryce, who was beaten for pace. She was taken for a four and six in the passing overs yet made a point to guarantee her third wicket, getting Sneh Rana puzzled. Notwithstanding D Hemalatha's 35-ball 31, Monsters would have neglected to go beyond 100. They had confronted 67 spot balls in the innings, the most by a group in a WPL game. Mandhana, Meghana put RCB in post position Mandhana had her eye on the NRR every step of the way. A backfoot punch beyond in reverse point, a draw over midwicket, and a bang through square leg: she struck three fours off Lea Tahuhu's initial four balls and there was no thinking back subsequently. Bryce was belted past profound midwicket and Meghna Singh was banged for consecutive fours as RCB hustled to 32 for 0 after three overs. Ashleigh Gardner got the better of Sophie Devine yet that didn't stop the RCB train. Meghana, straight from 50 years against UP Warriorz, went on along these lines going over the top against Bryce two times. Mandhana in the end fell for 43, popping a basic return catch to Tanuja Kanwar, yet the harm had been finished. Ellyse Perry came in at No. 4 and promptly got the limits streaming. She pulled one past short fine leg to seal the success for RCB with 45 balls in excess. Monsters presently end up down at the lower part of the focuses table.
