WPL 2025: Capitals Restrict RCB To 147/5 Despite Ellyse Perry’s Unbeaten 60
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Crucial wickets by Delhi Capitals' debutant Nallapureddy Shree Charani in the death overs knocked the breath out of the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in the Women's Premier League (WPL) 2025 here on Saturday. Ellyse Perry’s lone show on the night helped the home side reach 147/5 at the end of the first innings at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium here.
With her crucial 60-run unbeaten innings, Ellyse Perry passed Delhi Capitals captain Meg Lanning to become the highest scorer in WPL Season 3 history, with 895 runs to her name in 22 matches. The Delhi Capitals, who have been a force to be reckoned with the ball in the power-play, struck early as skipper Smriti Mandhana was dismissed by Shikha Pandey in the second over. A fullish delivery, moving away from Smriti, prompted the left-handed batter to drive at it, but she ended up edging it to slips.
Ellyse, alongside Danni Wyatt-Hodge, took the early setback in stride and took the fight to the bowling attack. Meg Lanning’s decision to bring on a spinner in the power-play did not work as the batters targeted Jess Jonassen in the fifth over.
