The Royal Challengers Bengaluru team had another victorious night in the Women's Premier League as they defeated Gujarat Giants by 32 runs. It was a thrilling match, with both teams putting up a tough fight. However, RCB's strong performance ultimately secured their third consecutive win in the league.
The game began with RCB being sent in to bat first. Things were not looking too good for them as they lost four wickets in the sixth over, with only 43 runs on the scoreboard. But then, India stalwarts Radha Yadav and Richa Ghosh came to the rescue.
