Defending Champions RCB Out Of WPL 2025

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.
