Mumbai Indians vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru Highlights, WPL 2025: RCB Deny MI Direct Entry Into WPL Final With 11-Run Winnews24

Mumbai Indians vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru Highlights, WPL 2025: Defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru ended an otherwise disappointing season on a positive note, denying Mumbai Indians a direct entry into the final of the WPL 2025 with an 11-run win. The result helped table toppers Delhi Capitals secure a direct berth in the final of the competition, which will be held here on March 15, while MI will take on Gujarat Giants in the eliminator on March 13 at the same venue. DC have now entered the summit clash for the third consecutive time and would hope that coveted title doesn’t elude them. Batting first, RCB rode on skipper Smriti Mandhana’s 37-ball 53 and useful contributions from Ellyse Perry (49 off 38 balls), Richa Ghosh (36 off 22) and Georgia Wareham (31 off 10) to post a commanding 199 for three. In reply, MI were stopped at 188 for nine. Both MI and DC finished the league engagements with five wins each, but the latter had better net run rate. Sajeevan Sajana raised MI hopes with a 12-ball 23 before perishing to Perry. (SCORECARD)
