Crucial Phase for RCB Women

RCB Women would need at least 140 runs to challenge DC Women where they have got a long batting lineup. RCB Women would be hoping that Ellyse Perry plays a scintillating knock of 70 runs where it won’t be easy for the new batter to go berserk from ball 1 where there is an uneven bounce in the surface.

DC Women skipper Meg Lanning would sense that they have got a golden chance to stamp their authority in the match. RCB Women doesn’t have a dangerous batter present at the back end of the innings where Richa Ghosh will have to bat responsibly. It won’t be wrong to say that this match is a do-or-die contest for RCB Women.
