Mumbai: After losing five consecutive matches, the Royal Challengers Bangalore team finally tried to rise from the bottom of the table. Smriti Mandhana-led RCB put up a very disciplined fight in the match held at the DY Patil Stadium here on Wednesday and managed to win by 5 wickets against UP Warriors despite losing a lot of seven wickets. This was the first win for the Challengers in the inaugural Women's Premier League tournament.

RCB won the toss in the match and chose to bowl in the calculation of chasing runs. Captain Smriti Mandhana's plan was to control the opposition to a modest total and then chase the target. The RCB bowlers who paid for the captain's plan also brought early success.

RCB Tamada's veteran speedster Sophie Devine prefaced the first win as UP Warriors captain and opening batsman Alisa Healy (1) and young opener Devika Vaidya (0) were single-handedly able to change the direction of the match.

U.P. scored the challenging total

Kiran Navgire (22), Grace Harris (46), and vice-captain Deepti Sharma (22) played boldly in the middle of the innings for UP Warriors, who recovered a bit from the initial shock. As a result, the Warriors scored a challenging total of 135 runs in 19.3 overs despite losing all of their wickets.

While Sophie Devine took two wickets for RCB, Ellyse Perry, who was effective in the middle of the innings and in the slog overs, conceded only 16 runs in her 4 overs and took 3 wickets. Spinner Asha Shobhana (2 for 27) also took two wickets.

Captain Smriti Mandhana's failure, successful run chasing

RCB's star batter and captain Smriti Mandhana's failure continue in the tournament. During the chase, Smriti Mandhanna was clean bowled by spinner Deepti Sharma in the very first over and joined the pavilion with nil. Sophie Devine, who tried to play fast, scored 14 runs in 6 balls but gave up the wicket very soon.

England Captain Heather Knight played cautiously and scored 24 runs off 21 balls to bring about a recovery, while young player Kanika Ahuja, who played a charming game, scored 46 runs off 30 balls with 8 fours and 1 six and eased the team's way to victory. Richa Ghosh scored an unbeaten 31 runs off 32 balls to lead the team to victory.
