Nat Sciver-Brunt to Nadine De Klerk
Over the wicket at 103.2 kph. A good-length delivery angling in down the leg side as it follows De Klerk, who backs away and pulls it towards deep backward square leg, where the fielder collects it on the bounce.

Nat Sciver-Brunt to Nadine De Klerk
SIX! WHAT A SHOT! Nadine De Klerk has single-handedly taken RCB close to a win. A slower ball from Nat Sciver-Brunt, back of a length on the leg stump. De Klerk backs away to create room for herself and then launches it miles over deep mid-wicket for half a dozen more. RCB need just 2 off the final delivery.

Nat Sciver-Brunt to Nadine De Klerk
FOUR! TAKE A BOW, NADINE DE KLERK! Or shall we say, Nadine De Klutch? A fightback for the ages. She keeps raising her stocks high with the bat again and again. The RCB players steam out of the dugout and are up and about as one. Nat Sciver-Brunt misses the yorker by a fraction and slips in a fuller ball, on the stumps. Nadine De Klerk opens up the off side by shuffling outside leg and crunches it over the bowler for a boundary down the ground. The Royal Challengers Bengaluru have stunned the defending champions as they win by 3 wickets.

DROPPED! Oh my goodness! Nat Sciver-Brunt drops a simple catch and Nadine De Klerk gets a precious life. Fractionally full, and outside off, Nadine De Klerk stands tall and tries to clear long off, but mistimes it straight to Nat Sciver-Brunt at long off, who fails to judge a simple chance and grasses it.

Shabnim Ismail to Nadine De Klerk
ABSOLUTE DRAMA AT DY PATIL! Good length outside off stump. Nadine De Klerk swings hard across the line and gets a top edge that balloons to the right of deep mid-wicket. Amelia Kerr runs across from deep mid-wicket, slides in but spills the catch, perhaps distracted by the other fielder charging in from deep square leg. The backing-up fielder, Amanjot Kaur gathers the ball quickly and fires it back towards the keeper’s end as Nadine De Klerk rushes for the second run. But, G Kamalini has to hop a bit to collect it and whips the bails off. The third umpire is called into action. The replays show that G Kamalini didn't collect the ball in her gloves and broke the stumps without having the ball in her hand.

Nicola Carey to Shreyanka Patil
OUT! BOWLED! Two wickets in the over for Nicola Carey. Nicola spears in a pinpoint yorker, on the off stump line. It lands and goes straight on to beat the inside out shot attempted by Shreyanka. The ball beats the outside edge and smashes into the off pole. Hang on! The umpire wants to confirm whether the ball has crashed into the stumps or have the bails been knocked off by G Kamalini's gloves. The replay rolls in and confirms that Kamalini's gloves were well behind the stumps when the bails were lit. Shreyanka Patil falls for 1 (2), and Royal Challengers Bengaluru are 121/7, needing 34 runs off 18 balls.

Poonam Khemnar sprints across to her left from deep cover and tries to cut it off with the dive, but seems to have made contact with the boundary ropes while the ball is in her hand.

Amelia dishes out a deceptive googly and lands it on a fuller length. It pitches and grips into the batter, around middle and leg. Radha Yadav is sucked into the defensive shot and pushes at it, but plays all over the wrong line, getting beaten on the inside edge. Hears the death-rattle behind her.

Kerr drops a full ball, a conventional leg break, keeping it just outside off. Richa Ghosh tries to feast on it by smoking it inside out extra cover, but loses her shape while trying to hit it too hard. The ball is aired off the toe end. Nicola Carey from long off, runs to her left and times her leap to perfection at long off, while also judging the ball's trajectory nicely. Plucks the catch while being airborne to send Ghosh packing. Richa Ghosh perishes on a run-a-ball 6. Royal Challengers Bengaluru are 65/5, chasing 155.

In the air... but lands just short is the third umpire's verdict! A full delivery angling into the leg stump. Hemalatha tries a flick towards mid-wicket but doesn’t get it cleanly. Carey dives forward and snares it, but the ball appears to have bounced first. The third umpire is summoned to check the legality of the catch. Carey, going by her body language, isn't so sure either. The replays confirm that Carey picked it up on the half-volley.

OUT! TAKEN! Would you believe it? Mid on was just pushed back before this ball, and Grace Harris has hit it straight down her throat. Sciver-Brunt takes pace off and serves it full, on middle. Harris swings well in front of her body as she looks to go down the ground. She fails to pick the slower one and is early into the shot. It goes only as far as long on, where Shabnim Ismail moves to her left to take the catch. Ismail slips but manages to hold onto it.

Shabnim Ismail to Smriti Mandhana
OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! Four dots in a row and Smriti Mandhana feels the need to make a move. She perishes in doing so. Cross-seam delivery, bowled into the surface, angling across from over the wicket, Mandhana takes a couple of steps down the track and has a hoick across the line. Gets it right off the toe end of the bat and it is skied to mid on, where Poonam Khemnar takes an easy catch. Smriti falls for 18 (13). RCB are 40/1, chasing 155.

Shabnim Ismail to Dayalan Hemalatha
Nearly sneaked through! Speared in, very full, attacking the front pad. Hemalatha gets her bat down and ekes out an inside edge down to deep fine leg for a single. End of a successful over for MI. Can they build on it?

Nicola Carey to Grace Harris
SIX! Grace Harris makes it look so easy. Pitched up by Carey, around off, Harris does not try to overhit this one and just swings smoothly to loft it back over the bowler's head for a flat six.

Completely contrasting starts for both teams. Mumbai Indians couldn't score a single run in the opening over, and RCB are already up and running with 11 on the board. And here's the fastest bowler in women's cricket. Shabnim Ismail will share the attack from the opposite end.
0
Nicola Carey, the star with the bat for MI, has the ball in hand now. She replaces Nat Sciver-Brunt.
0
There has been a plan to take the pace off from the ball, but RCB openers are dining on the bowlers at the moment. They are 40/0 in 3 overs and at the same stage, MI were 11/0. Ismail to continue. Went for 9 runs off her opening over.
0
Mumbai Indians needed that breakthrough desperately. It was actually a good setup by Ismail. The field was packed on the off side and she bowled accordingly, so Mandhana tried to hack it over the leg side and paid the price for it. Dayalan Hemalatha walks in at number 3 now.
0
Change? Yes. Nat Sciver-Brunt (1-0-11-0) returns into the attack, replacing Nicola Carey.
0
Both the RCB openers are back in the hut now. And dear me! It looks like Shabnim Ismail has hurt her ankle in the process of taking the catch in the deep. Maybe just tweaked her leg on a greasy outfield. She is down on the ground and is receiving some treatment via an ice pack. Some concerned MI players circle around her, but eventually, Shabnim gets back on her feet. Richa Ghosh is in at number 4.
0
Did that carry? Nicola Carey is not sure. The third umpire is called into action. The side-on angle clearly shows that the ball bounced in front before going to hand. NOT OUT!

STRATEGIC BREAK! Time for everyone to catch their breath after an action-packed first nine overs of the RCB chase. It was a flying start at 40/0 after three overs, but the momentum has swung sharply since, with Bengaluru losing 5 wickets for 32 runs in the next five. The early intent from Grace Harris ensured they stayed ahead of the required rate, but it’s the loss of wickets that has hurt them. There is still batting to come from Shreyanka Patil and Prema Rawat, and this partnership will need to take the game deep. The Mumbai Indians didn’t start well but have stormed back into the contest. Just one over of spin so far has already paid dividends, with Amelia Kerr striking twice. Expect spin from both ends soon, with Saika Ishaque yet to be introduced. She will be a handy option with two right-handers at the crease.
0
10 runs off the last over. Royal Challengers Bengaluru are 92/5. At the same stage, after 13 overs, MI were 80/4. Saika Ishaque is introduced into the attack now, replacing Amelia Kerr.
0
A couple of big overs for RCB and the momentum has bounced back in their favor. 23 runs have come off those two overs. Harmanpreet Kaur is forced to bring on the change in bowling. Nicola Carey (2-0-25-0) returns, replacing Nat Sciver-Brunt.

Alright, last 5 overs coming up. MI scored 54 of those. RCB need 44 from 30. Amelia Kerr (3-0-7-2) to bowl out.
0
STRATEGIC BREAK! The game is beautifully poised, with Royal Challengers Bengaluru needing 38 runs from 24 balls. Their innings has followed a pattern similar to that of the Mumbai Indians earlier. Nadine De Klerk and Arundhati Reddy are now playing the role that Sajeevan Sajana and Nicola Carey did for MI. Amelia Kerr has bowled out, while Shabnim Ismail and Nicola Carey have one over left, and those two overs will be crucial. For RCB, a lot rests on the shoulders of De Klerk.

Shreyanka Patil walks in next.

Gone? The stumps have lit up. G Kamalini is standing up to the sticks. Did the ball clip the stumps, or was it the gloves? It was the former. OUT!

Shabnim Ismail to bowl the 19th over with RCB needing 29 runs off 12 balls. 3-0-15-1 so far for Ismail.
0
Complete chaos! A catch has gone down, but have MI managed to execute the run out? G Kamalini does not look sure. Did she have the ball in her mitts whilst breaking the stumps? Well, she lost control of the ball and it fell to the ground. Both bails came off without Kamalini having the ball in her gloves. Nadine De Klerk survives.
0
Right then, 18 needed off the final over. Nat Sciver-Brunt to bowl. Sciver-Brunt has not had a great night with the ball and also dropped a catch in the previous over.

Harmanpreet Kaur is having a long conversation with Nat Sciver-Brunt. Nadine De Klerk is made to wait.

Well, we have lift off in the 2026 Women’s Premier League, and what a night it was to set the tone for the season ahead. If the opening game is anything to go by, we are in for an absolute cracker of a tournament. Saturday, 10th January brings a double dose of action with the first of two double headers this season. First up, Gujarat Giants take on UP Warriorz at 3 pm IST (9.30 am GMT). Later in the evening, at 7.30 pm IST (2 pm GMT), the Mumbai Indians return to action as they square off against the Delhi Capitals. We look forward to your company right from the build-up. See you then. Cheers!
