Smriti, Renuka seal comfortable victory for RCB
Hindustan Times Amritsar
|February 18, 2025
Smriti Mandhana and Danielle Wyatt-Hodge made lightwork of the chase as Royal Challengers Bengaluru chased down 142 against Delhi Capitals to win by 8 wickets in 16.2 overs.
NEW DELHI:
Mandhana, who has been in incredible form in the last year, also scored her fastest 50 in the WPL.
She went after DC's bowling in the first over itself and never looked back. Mandhana ultimately finished with 81 off 47 in a knock laced with three sixes and ten fours.
Although not a chanceless inning, Wyatt-Hodge played second fiddle to Mandhana, scoring 42 off 32. The opening duo stitched a 107-run partnership, which is the highest for any wicket for RCB against DC.
Wyatt-Hodge was dismissed by Arundhati Reddy (1/25) for 42 in 10.5 overs, but the chase was killed by the century stand itself. Ellyse Perry (7*) then combined with Mandhana for a brief 26-run partnership to build upon the foundation the openers built.
