WPL 2025: Richa Ghosh, Sneh Rana shine but it’s the hope that kills as RCB’s playoff bid ends | Cricket News

Batting on 61 off 29, in the middle of the 16th over, Richa Ghosh took count of the fielding changes, then took a couple of deep breaths, calming herself down. Next ball, as Chinelle Henry strayed down the leg side, Ghosh just casually flicked the ball, and deposited it over the fence. RCB’s hopes of staying alive depended on her capable shoulders carrying the load of a mega run-chase. Next over, however, when Deepti Sharma bowled one in her arc, her eyes lit up and she went for another big heave over midwicket. But, this time, Henry was waiting. In a tournament where their catching was forgettable for the most part, the West Indies allrounder grabbed the ball cleanly and fell on her back, arms spread across in joy – and relief. Even though Sneh Rana smashed the first five balls she faced for two fours and three sixes in a stunning cameo to give her side hope, RCB’s tournament effectively ended when Ghosh’s knock came to an end.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru were once again at the receiving end of a big total in the Women’s Premier League. Already, they held the record for conceding the highest total in the tournament history as well as in the third edition so far. And both those marks were beaten by a belligerent UP Warriorz side. Already eliminated from the playoff race, and playing their last match of the tournament in their backyard in Lucknow, UPW smashed 225/5, the highest score in WPL so far, breaking Delhi Capitals’ 223/2 against RCB at the Brabourne Stadium in 2023. But another record fell just short at the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow: the wait for the first WPL century continued. Georgia Voll slammed an unbeaten 99, equaling the highest individual score of Sophie Devine. Beth Mooney (Gujarat Giants, 96*) and Meg Lanning (Delhi Capitals, 92) were also close to the landmark in Lucknow this week. Voll was in superb form, striking 17 fours and one six in her 56-ball knock, leading a stellar top-order performance. Kiran Navgire (46 off 16 …

IPL 2024: Rajasthan Royals stay alive, prolong Virat Kohli-RCB’s title wait | Ipl News

Synopsis: Royals end losing streak with a nervy chase, after virtuoso displays from Ashwin and Boult Keeping everything for a little too late sums up their campaign. Their total of 172 was inadequate. Challengers conceded 46 runs before plucking the first wicket but dug deep and nearly made a match out of it, though partially helped by Royals’ witless batting in the middle overs. In the space of four balls, the cruising Royals invited chaos. Yashasvi Jaiswal batted with poise until he could not resist scooping Cameron Green. His body lost its shape and he was too early into the shot. A thin edge was not to escape the gloves of Dinesh Karthik. A comeback to winning ways when it mattered the most & how 👌👌 Upwards & Onwards for Rajasthan Royals in #TATAIPL 2024 😄⏫ Scorecard ▶️ https://t.co/b5YGTn7pOL #RRvRCB | #Eliminator | #TheFinalCall pic.twitter.com/NsxjVGmjZ9 — IndianPremierLeague (@IPL) May 22, 2024 For much of the season, Sanju Samson, the Royals captain, had batted with wisdom and common sense, besides a sense of purpose to reclaim …
