Published by Webster

Royal Challengers Bangalore secured its inaugural title in the Women’s Premier League 2024, handing out Delhi Capitals an eight-wicket defeat, on Sunday. This triumph marked a significant breakthrough for the team, ending its long-awaited quest for success in franchise cricket. At the heart of RCB’s impressive performance was Ellyse Perry, who shone brightly throughout the tournament. “The bowling in the back end of the tournament has been exceptional, and a lot of that is just staying nice and calm, holding your nerve when big moments come along. We have got some of the best spinners in the world in our team who have contributed,” she said in a conversation with JioCinema and Sports18, highlighting the team’s unwavering confidence in their abilities. She lauded the team’s exceptional bowling efforts, emphasising the crucial contributions of local and international players. “Crucially, it’s been Shreyanka and Asha as local Indian players and we had the overseas players to complement that. I think that makes our spin quartet and then the pacers have chipped in at different times,” she stated. …

When the powerplay of Delhi Capitals innings was done, the scoreboard read 61/0. It was a whirlwind. The competition’s best partnership – Meg Lanning and Shafali Verma – were off to a flier. Especially the Indian youngster, who was once again showing off her ball-striking ability, stable base with all the focus down the ground. The ball was flying off her bat. She had reached 42 off 21 balls, Lanning was doing her part, playing the second fiddle as she tends to. Then came Sophie Molineux’s 8th over at the end of which 64/0 became 65/3. In the space of four balls – that aptly read out W-0-W-W – the Aussie left-arm spinner dismissed Shafali Verma, Jemimah Rodrigues and Alice Capsey. Three of DC’s most destructive batters, all gone in a hurry. It was the over that changed the direction of the match decisively. Royal Challengers Bangalore spun their way to a win, ending a long wait for a fanbase that has made their voice heard loud and clear from south to north. DC could …

WPL 2024: Can Delhi Capitals Stop Ellyse Perry Juggernaut In Title Clash With RCB?

Published by Webster

In-form Delhi Capitals, led by the inspirational Meg Lanning, would hope to be second time lucky and lift their maiden Women’s Premier League title when they take on a plucky Royal Challengers Bangalore in the summit clash at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Sunday. After missing out on the title in WPL’s inaugural edition last year, losing by seven wickets to Mumbai Indians in the final, DC looked a rejuvenated side this year. DC have been in superb form this year, topping the five-team league standings with 12 points from eight matches. Lanning has led DC from the front, scoring 308 runs from eight innings, while South African all-rounder Marizanne Kapp and Australian left-arm spinner Jess Jonassen are the highest wicket-takers for the side with 11 scalps each. DC’s only two defeats this season came against Mumbai Indians amd UP Warriorz. Leaving aside those two matches, they have enjoyed a near-perfect campaign. Going into the final, they will definitely start as favourites, having never lost to RCB in four meetings. But having said that, past …

WPL 2024: Ellyse Perry Delivers All-Round Show To Help RCB Seal Final Berth

Published by Webster

Young off-spinner Shreyanka Patil and uncapped veteran leg-spinner Asha Sobhana showed nerves of steel to take Royal Challengers Bangalore into WPL final with a five-run victory over defending champions Mumbai Indians in the ‘Eliminator’ on Friday. Chasing an easy target of 136 and needing 20 off last three overs, MI’s innings ended at 130 for 6. RCB, who entered their maiden final in the second edition, will meet last year’s runner-up Delhi Capitals in the summit clash on Sunday. It was 21-year-old Shreyanka (2/16 in 4 overs), whose vital 18th over raised visions of victory as she removed the MI skipper Harmanpreet Kaur (33). RCB keeper Richa Ghosh paid the price for her slow movements failing to stump Harmanpreet off Shreyanka but the young off-spinner didn’t lose heart as she flighted the ball once more and the Indian skipper was caught at long-on fence. At a time when spinners are afraid of giving the ball air even in ODIs, Shreyanka’s approach was a welcome departure and it did pay dividends. Needing 16 off 12 balls, …

How Ellyse Perry’s six-wicket haul led RCB into WPL 2024 playoffs | Cricket News

Published by Webster

There are very few things Ellyse Perry, the athlete, cannot do. One of the best fielders in the world, she is a menace for batters trying to find the boundary rope. Her batting was always incredibly efficient, she has even evolved to get better with changing times. She is a footballer, in more than one sense of the word. She has scored a goal for the Matildas at the Fifa Women’s World Cup and has also won Australia a cricket World Cup by deflecting the ball off her feet. But it all started with the ball in hand. Not just in her international career, but all the way back as a kid. Perry used to follow her brother Damien, three years older, trying to do whatever he was up to. She remembers their dad Mark teaching him how to bowl one night in the kitchen at home. “I was like ‘oh, I want to learn that’. Then that sort of extended to us going outside in the backyard and dad just showing us how to …
