Analysis
In their WPL 2024 season opener, two of the rising stars Sabbhineni Meghana and Richa Ghosh scored fifties to help propel the Royal Challengers Bangalore Women to a competitive total. Asha Sobhana picked up a five-for for the RCB-W, breaking crucial partnerships in the UP Warriorz batting lineup, to play a key role in the home team securing their first win of the WPL season.
Meanwhile, the Gujarat Giants were way below par with the bat in the WPL 2024 season opener against Mumbai Indians Women despite Kathryn Bryce and Tanuja Kanwar sharing a 48-run partnership for the eighth wicket. While defending a score of just 126 runs, Kathryn Bryce and Tanuja Kanwar bowled exceptional spells for the Gujarat Giants, but their efforts were far from enough to achieve a victory on the night.
