RCB title defence has come to an end where they missed their chase by 18 runs which marks their 5th loss in a row. RCB had a thin chance if they would have pulled this one. UP Warriorz put up one hell of a show where Georgia Voll toiled the RCB bowlers scoring 99 runs accompanied by her Kiran Navgirer who scored 46 runs from 16 balls. RCB bowlers were punished in every part of the ground. It seemed RCB bowlers didn't want to play the game they were rusty on the pitch. 

Rest of the things were taken care of Voli and their mates. Either they were getting full toss or a half volley where they just enjoyed the batting or thrashed the bowlers completely. It's RCB straight fifth loss and becomes first team to be out from WPL 2025.

RCB Bowlers Were On Hunt

It was a must-win match for RCB in the Lucknow ground where the home team had chosen batting first. Grace Harris and George Voli started the proceedings sorry assualting. Grace started the proceedings by hitting continuous 5 boundaries and was timing the ball well but unfortunately, she couldn't able to stay long gone for well make 39 runs. Then came Kiran but at that time Voli had surreal them with her expensive blows. 

But now it was more trouble to ask as 16 years Kiran Navgire started hitting sixes was blasting the ball 5 times she made 46 runs off 16 balls finally caught by Perry and bowled by Wareham though wickets were trembling at one end Voli's assault didn't stop scored a 50 in 22 balls after that she just aiming for the shorter boundaries it was well-structured innings Voli went not out scoring 99 runs out of 56 balls. Up Warriors scored 225 with the loss of 5 wickets. 

RCB Out Of The Tournament

 After losing 4 matches on the trot RCB had the last chance to stay in the league by beating UP now to win they had to chase a huge target. In reply of chase captain Smriti Mandhna and Meghna came to the crease. Smriti is having the worst form ever, even in the last 4 games she didn't do much and is the reason for RCB's failure too. This time too Smiriti went early hitting just one four after the next ball she got caught in the hands of Voli.

Meghna and Perry tried a bit but couldn't hold on for a while they too departed soon scoring 27 and 28 runs and RCB looked helpless. Raghvi Bhist to went early scoring only 12 runs. Then Richa Gosh exploded the innings and tried to put up a fight it was a dangerous call for Up as Richa started hitting boundaries continuously but other end wickets were trembling. Richa made a very well fifty in 28 balls but her efforts too were not enough to get RCB over the line as they were all out for 213 losing the match by 18 runs and out from the tournament. 

In the record galore WPL 2025 match between UP Warriors and out-of-form defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru Women at Lucknow, UP Warriors Women claimed a 12-run win that ended RCB's last hope to advance to the playoffs of the season, although Smriti Mandhana-led defending champions still have a match to play.   

UP Warriors recorded the highest WPL total

After RCB chose to field first, UP Warriors recorded the highest ever WPL total 225/5 in 20 overs. It beat the previous highest WPL total record of 223/2 by Delhi Capitals against Royal Challengers Bangalore during the second edition of the WPL 2023 season. 

During the first innings, opener Grace Harris scored 39 runs and had a 77-run opening partnership with Georgia Voll. Later, Voll had another 71-run partnership with Kiran Navgire for the second wicket. Kiran slammed two fours and five sixes to score 46 off just 16 balls before losing her wicket.

Georgia Voll missed the first ever WPL century

While Chinelle Henry (19) and Sophie Ecclestone (13) had some useful cameos in the record WPL total, the 21-year-old Australian Georgia Voll just missed out on creating history by becoming the first to hit a century in WPL history. The right-handed opening batter scored 99 not out off 56 balls with 17 fours and one six. With her unbeaten 99, Voll now holds the record for the highest score in the WPL history as she surpassed RCB's Sophie Devine's 99 against Gujarat Giants in the 2023 edition. 

RCB recorded highest WPL total while chasing despite unsuccessful chase

In reply, RCB Women recorded the highest total in WPL chasing as well as the third highest total in WPL history.

In the unsuccessful chase against WP Warriors Women, Richa Ghosh scored 69 runs off 33 balls, while Sabbhineni Meghana (27)and Ellyse Perry (28) reached the 20+ scores along with the no.10 Sneh Rana's late stunning 26 off just six balls with the help of two fours and three sixes. Ghosh hit six fours and five sixes in her fighting innings. Among the UP bowlers, Sophie Ecclestone (3/25) and Deepti Sharma (3/50) bagged three wickets each, and Chinelle Henry (2/39) had two wickets. 

WPL 2025: Latest points table (updated as of March 8, 2025)

The WPL 2025 saw one of its most thrilling conclusions as RCBW and UPW staged a nail-biting tie, necessitating a Super Over to declare the winner. With RCBW requiring 9 runs from the last over, the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium was tense. As the match reached the wire, RCBW required 8 runs from the last 3 balls, keeping spectators on tenterhooks.
RCBW's Dominant Batting Performance
Batting first, RCBW posted a good total of 180/6 in 20 overs, courtesy of a magnificent knock by Ellyse Perry, who remained not out on 90 off 56 balls. Her innings, filled with big shots, were the foundation of RCBW's score. Wyatt-Hodge also played an important role, scoring 57 off 41 balls, to maintain momentum in the middle overs.
UPW's bowlers ensured the latter end of the match remained tight as Tahlia McGrath and Deepti Sharma struck when the situation needed a breakthrough. Sophie Ecclestone was strong behind the stumps with two run-outs, completely changing the fortunes.

Pursuing 181, UPW experienced a tottering start but staged a recovery via Sophie Ecclestone (33 off 19) and Deepti Sharma (25 off 13). With the fall of wickets at a constant rate, the game seemed in favor of RCBW. But some fireworks from UPW's lower order towards the latter part of the game propelled the match to the last over.
With only 9 runs required off the remaining 6 balls, the match was level. RCBW's bowlers tightened the equation further such that UPW had to score 8 runs off the final 3 balls. With the match in the balance, pressure intensified, and RCBW's fielding ensured the excitement continued until the last ball, ending with a Super Over decider.

Ellyse Perry's Unbeaten 90 beautiful knock to steady RCBW's innings.
Wyatt-Hodge's 57 Off 41: Gave stability in the middle overs.

The Super Over:
Sophie Ecclestone's heroics secured a nail-biting Super Over victory for UP Warriorz over RCB in WPL 2025. Having taken the game to a Super Over with her late fireworks, she defended nine runs, giving away only four. Kim Garth had previously kept UPW to eight, sending Henry back and keeping them under wraps. RCB required nine to win but was found wanting against Ecclestone's brilliance. Mandhana and Ghosh were periods that couldn't be set boundaries, and UPW won. Ellyse Perry's 90 unbeaten had powered RCB to 180, but Ecclestone's all-around performance led to a turnaround, handing UP Warriorz their second win in succession and RCB back-to-back defeats.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), star spinner Shreyanka Patil has been ruled out of the 2025 Women's Premier League (WPL) because of injury. The 21-year-old, who was important for RCB in this seasons, will be out for the remaining tournament, and there will be a big challenge in the spin department of the team..
Heartbreak for RCB for Shreyanka :
Shreyanka was missed for the first time when she failed to appear in RCB's latest match against Gujarat Giants. Rumours ensued, and on Saturday, the young cricketer posted news of the sad tidings through social media. "Heartbroken, but I will fly again," she posted, expressing her sadness while keeping herself hopeful of a good return.

🚨NEWS ALERT 🚨

Sneh Rana Steps In for RCB :
In the absence of Shreyanka, RCB has signed Indian experienced all-rounder Sneh Rana in place of the former. Released by Gujarat Giants prior to the 2025 season, Rana will offer quality experience both as a bowler and as a lower-order batter. With the talent for withstanding pressure situations, Rana proves a valuable acquisition to the team.

 Injury Fears Increase for RCB :
Shreyanka's injury is not the first this season for RCB. Sophie Molineux and Asha Sobhana have also been suffering from injuries, making it more than one setback for the team. Senior players Kate Cross and Sophie Devine have also pulled out of the tournament, again pushing RCB's squad depth to the test.

In setbacks, the defending champions will try to rally around what is left of their squad members and move on in the WPL 2025 season. With important matches ahead, how well the team can adapt and overcome challenges will be the determining factor in their campaign.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) got their campaign off to a thunderous start by posting the biggest successful chase in the Women's Premier League (WPL). On Friday, February 14, RCB overhauled a massive target of 202 to defeat Gujarat Giants (GG) by six wickets at the Kotambi Stadium in Vadodara. Richa Ghosh slammed an unbeaten 64 off 27 deliveries as RCB cruised home with nine balls in hand.

During the run-chase, Gardner dismissed Smriti Mandhana and Danni Wyatt-Hodge in her first over. But Perry and Raghvi Bist held the fort with a 86-run third-wicket partnership. Perry was fluent, reaching her half-century off 27 balls before being dismissed by Sayali Satghare. But from then on, the Challengers never looked back.
