Nadine de Klerk to Simran Shaikh, out Caught by Arundhati Reddy!! Caught at long-on and Nadine de Klerk has four now - A full-toss and Simran doesn't get hold of the lofted drive, came low off the bat and looped towards long-on - Arundathi settled under it, the ball did drop onto her, but she judges the flight and holds onto a good low catch. Simran Shaikh c Arundhati Reddy b Nadine de Klerk 10(11) [4s-1]

Nadine de Klerk to Simran Shaikh, FOUR, clubbed, handy boundary from Simran - fuller length delivery on the pads, she clears her front-foot and shovels it wide of long-on, one bounce and over the ropes
19.3
Nadine de Klerk to Asha Sobhana, leg byes, 1 run, fuller length delivery on the pads, Asha shuffles across and misses, off the pad and rolls to the on-side for a leg-bye. RCBW have reviewed now, this is surely going down leg, impact itself is outside leg and they've burnt a review

Nadine de Klerk to Sophie Ecclestone, out Lbw!! That's straight and Sophie Ecclestone bags a duck, she doesn't bother to review though - full and at the stumps, the right-hander swung across the line and missed, struck in front of middle and leg, would've clipped the leg-stump at worst. RCBW finishing strongly here. Sophie Ecclestone lbw b Nadine de Klerk 0(1)

Shreyanka Patil to Deepti Sharma, out Caught by Nadine de Klerk!! Shreyanka ends her spell with a wicket - tossed up and sliding down leg, Deepti Sharma went down low and then looked to lap, was to the left of de Klerk who moved across, went reverse cupped and held onto a fine catch. They're checking for a clean catch, but it does look clean - she did roll over on impact, but was firmly in control by then - OUT is the call. Deepti Sharma c Nadine de Klerk b Shreyanka Patil 55(43) [4s-6 6s-1]

Shreyanka Patil to Deepti Sharma, FOUR, just wide of Bell at short fine, the ball has been teasing her all night - flighted delivery and slanting down leg, Deepti uses the pace on the lap and places it to the right of short fine, was in the air and well wide as well

Nadine de Klerk to Deepti Sharma, 2 runs, Nadine de Klerk goes full and wide of off - Deepti reaches out and top-edges the swipe, high and wide of cover, lands in front of long-off and she's back for the second, raises a 40-ball fifty

Lauren Bell to Shweta Sehrawat, out Caught by Smriti!! They keep losing wickets! Another pre-empted charge from Shweta Sehrawat, Bell saw her coming and took the pace off on this delivery, pushed it wide of off and made the right-hander reach out - she flaps at it and scoops it up - no power or no timing, it's a sitter for the RCBW captain at cover. Shweta Sehrawat c Smriti b Lauren Bell 7(10)

Grace Harris to Deepti Sharma, FOUR, nicely played, tossed up and sliding into the left-hander - Deepti gets down low, sweeps with the length and finds the gap to the left of Bell at backward square leg, was in the air, but in the gap as well

Grace Harris to Chloe Tryon, out Stumped!! Grace Harris is turning out to be RCB's lucky charm tonight - saw Tryon coming down the pitch and dragged the length back, beaten in the flight and undone by the drift, Tryon's nowhere near the ball as she pokes, easy stumping for Richa Ghosh and UP Warriorz continue to lose wickets. Chloe Tryon st Richa Ghosh b Grace Harris 6(7) [4s-1]

Radha Yadav to Chloe Tryon, FOUR, edged and the ball beats Bell to the ropes, slower and wider of off, draws Tryon into the drive and finds the edge, runs through the vacant slip region and beats the chasing fielder to the ropes

Grace Harris to Harleen Deol, out Bowled!! Grace has her first wicket of WPL 2026 and she's chuffed to bits - flighted delivery on off, stayed low and went straight, Harleen was undone by the lack of bounce, played all-around the ball and it crashes into the off-stump. The zing bails pop out, Harleen Deol stays for a moment, unsure if she was really bowled and then walks back to the dug-out. Harleen Deol b Grace Harris 14(14) [4s-2]

Grace Harris to Harleen Deol, FOUR, more work for Shreyanka, she gets to the ball, but can't prevent the boundary - dragged short and down leg, Harleen rocked back and pulled it backward of square on the on-side, beating the valiant dive

Nadine de Klerk to Harleen Deol, FOUR, creamed, overpitched by Nadine de Klerk, it's a floaty half-volley and Harleen leans into the drive, finds the gap wide of cover and the ball races away

Nadine de Klerk to Amy Jones, out Lbw!! A big shout for LBW, looked pretty straight and Amy Jones has been given OUT LBW, she's reviewed it though - was pitched up and kept coming back at the right-hander, a slight shuffle as the right-hander swung across the line, missed and is struck on the back-pad. This is an action replay of the RCB's NOT OUT review off Lanning, but the onfield call is OUT, so just needs to clip the stumps - it's smashing into them though, three reds and it's an unhappy start for Amy Jones's maiden WPL match in 2026. Amy Jones lbw b Nadine de Klerk 1(2)

Nadine de Klerk to Meg Lanning, out Caught by Radha Yadav!! Wicket first-ball for de Klerk, her 12th of the season. Was a full ball outside off and Lanning was looking to go inside out over cover, but she's sliced it slightly and the ball drops safely into the hands of deep cover - Radha Yadav ran in, settled under it and took a good two-handed reverse cupped catch. The opening partnership has been brought to an end. Meg Lanning c Radha Yadav b Nadine de Klerk 41(30) [4s-6 6s-1]

Shreyanka Patil to Deepti Sharma, FOUR, beautifully played, Deepti comes down the pitch, gets right to the pitch of vthe ball and then lifts it back over the bowler's head - just a chop, but the timing is sweet and the ball rolls away to the ropes

Arundhati Reddy to Meg Lanning, FOUR, hammered, slower ball from Arundhati, but it's too full and too wide of off, drilled over mid-off for a boundary - 18 off the over

Arundhati Reddy to Meg Lanning, FOUR, this is so good from Meg Lanning - pitched up by Arundhati, Lanning waits and then plays an open-faced drive, carves it over cover and the ball bounces away to the ropes

Arundhati Reddy to Meg Lanning, FOUR, cracking shot, tad too short from Arundhati - Lanning pickes the length early, swivels across and then hammers the pull past square leg for a boundary

Arundhati Reddy to Meg Lanning, leg byes, FOUR, a loose start from Arundathi - slips the inswinger down leg and Richa Ghosh has no chance, she was standing up and watches the ball run away to the ropes, might've flicked the pad, given as leg-byes
5.5
Sayali Satghare to Meg Lanning, 1 run, short of a good length and just outside off - punched behind sqauare on the off-side for a single, brings up UPW's 50
5.4
Sayali Satghare to Meg Lanning, no run, shout for LBW, but this is heading down leg, nipped back into the right-hander and caught Lanning in the crease. Hang on! RCB have reviewed, this looks like one more in hope than anything else. No bat and we're onto ball-tracking. It's actualy struck Lanning on the back-leg, but it's only in front of leg-stump, it's only umpire's call on hitting, clipping the leg-stump and will stay with the onfield call. Not a bad review in the end
5.2

Sayali Satghare to Meg Lanning, FOUR, the boundaries are flowing now, Satghare drags the length back, but there's width on offer and it's cut away backward of squqare on the off-side for a boundary

Sayali Satghare to Meg Lanning, SIX, back-to-back sixes and UPW are starting to get some momentum going into the innings - too full from Satghare as she went searching for swing, it's a flaty half-volley and Lanning hammers it over long-off for a boundary

Lauren Bell to Deepti Sharma, SIX, smashed, the slower ball and Deepti picked it early, lets the ball come and then swipes it over square leg - deep backward square leg runs to her right, but she can only watch it drop over the ropes
