Mumbai Indians skipper Harmanpreet Kaur had a memorable time on the field during their clash against Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the 7th match of WPL 2025 at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru.
Mumbai Indians delivered a solid bowling performance, striking at regular intervals to keep RCB from building momentum.
However, the home crowd ensured their team never felt the pressure, filling the stadium with deafening chants of “RCB! RCB!”
The atmosphere was so electric that even Harmanpreet Kaur and Richa Ghosh were seen covering their ears due to the overwhelming noise after the 13th over—an unprecedented moment in women’s cricket.
Despite the pressure, Ellyse Perry thrived, smashing a blistering 81 off 43 balls, maintaining her stellar form. Her knock, laced with 11 fours and 2 sixes, along with Richa Ghosh’s 28-run contribution**, powered RCB to a competitive total of 167/7.
For Mumbai Indians, Amanjot Kaur led the bowling attack, finishing with impressive figures of 3/22, while Shabnim Ismail, Nat Sciver-Brunt, Hayley Matthews, and Sanskriti Gupta chipped in with a wicket each to keep RCB under 170.
Mumbai Indians will be confident of chasing the target, especially after bouncing back from their opening defeat to Delhi Capitals with a commanding win over Gujarat Giants.
Harmanpreet Kaur, in good form, will be key to MI’s chances as they aim for their second victory of the season.
