WPL 2024 LIVE SCORE Eliminator MI vs RCB: Bangalore win by 6 runs, reach final

 

Over Summary: 1 1 2 W 1 1; Mumbai Indians Score 130/6 after 20 overs

Amelia Kerr (27), Amanjot Kaur (1); Asha Sobhana 2-0-13-1

 

This game has changed like anything. 12 needed from 6 became 8 needed from two with Amanjot on strike. A single off the fifty ball would mean that this match can only get tied and head into a Super Over until and unless Sobhana bowls an extra. Otherwise, even a six would only mean a tie here. 

 

Huge discussion between Ghosh, umpires and everyone else and Sobahana held her nerves to bowl a leg break which could only fetch a single. The defending champions of the inaugural season have been knocked out here by RCB from a situation where they had to defend 20 of 18 with Mumbai having seven wickets in hand. 

 

The final will now be played between Delhi Capitals and RCB and we will have a new WPL champion on Sunday, March 17.

WPL 2024 LIVE SCORE Eliminator MI vs RCB: Sobhana strikes, 8 needed from 2 balls to win

A leg spinner to bowl the last over with 12 needed. This might backfire for Smriti and RCB. But for now, it is two off the first two balls. With three overs of Renuka Thakur and two overs of Sophie Devine remaining, it is very brave of Smriti to go for Sobahana. 

 

It is turning out to be a great decision so fast as he has gone for just four runs off the first four balls and taken the big wicket of Vastrakar. It will be a new batter on strike for the fifth ball with 8 needed from two to win.

WPL 2024 LIVE SCORE Eliminator MI vs RCB: Bangalore back in the game

It's Sajana Sajeevan, the hero of the first match for Mumbai on strike. She plays her first ball dot and hits the second straight down the ground for a single. Well-fielded by Smriti, but that wouldn’t stop the single. 

 

Do we have a wicket here? Seems like it, as Richa Ghoshas has broken the stumps behind Sajan as she stepped out to play the ball which had kept low. Sajana could not connect and was found well short of the crease. All of a sudden, RCB are back in the game.

WPL 2024 LIVE SCORE Eliminator MI vs RCB: Shreyanka gets Harmanpreet

 

Over Summary: 0 1 1 1 1 W; Mumbai Indians Score 120/4 after 18 overs

Harmanpreet Kaur (33), Amelia Kerr (23); Shreyanka Patil 4-0-16-2

 

Had Richa Ghosh collected that cleanly, it was a sitter of a stumping chance for the RCB and they would have gotten back in the game courtesy of that, But a poor game all-around for Richa would snatch the Bagnaore side off that opportunity. 

 

But Devine makes no mistake at all at long-on and Shreyanks eventually has a wicket after going for just four runs. The match gets interesting now.

WPL 2024 LIVE SCORE Eliminator MI vs RCB: Run-out chance goes begging

 

Over Summary: 0 0 1 0 0 1; Mumbai Indians Score 52/2 after 9 overs

Nat Siver-Brunt (11), Harmanpreet Kaur (1); Sophie Molineux 2-0-8-0

 

It was the best opportunity for RCB to get on top in the game as they could have run the opposition skipper out. But the throw from the fine leg fielder and the follow-up by the keepers as not the best as Harman survives.
