Nat Sciver-Brunt to de Klerk, FOUR, de Klerk’s done it! RCB pull off a heist at DY Patil! Arms aloft, she runs through for the winning runs as her teammates stream onto the field to mob her. What a knock - we saw this ice-cold finishing touch at the World Cup against India, and she’s produced it again on the opening night of the WPL. And the winning ball?
