Let’s take a look at the four best knocks by RCB Women in the tournament.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru have been one of the strongest teams in the WPL so far. They are the defending champions, having defeated Delhi Capitals in the WPL 2024 final to win the first-ever title for their franchise, whether in men’s or women’s cricket.
They have been a dominant side in the tournament since last season, and they proved it once again in the first match of the WPL 2025 season by successfully chasing down 202, the highest run chase in WPL history. However, apart from team success, there have also been some brilliant individual performances from RCB Women in WPL history.
Let’s take a look at the four best knocks by RCB Women in the tournament.
In the game against Gujarat Giants in 2023 at the Brabourne Stadium, Sophie Devine delivered a breathtaking knock, scoring 99 from a mere 36 balls. She had achieved her half century in a mere 20 deliveries, the third quickest in WPL history.
Chasing a target of 189, she overpowered the bowlers with her attacking batting, hitting nine fours and eight sixes at a staggering strike rate of 275. Her destructive innings enabled RCB to chase the target in only 15.3 overs, winning the match by 8 wickets.
Against UP Warriorz in 2024, Smriti Mandhana struck a magnificent knock of 80 runs off 50 balls at the Chinnaswamy Stadium. While opening the innings for her team, she guided RCB to a total of 198 for 3 in their 20 overs.
Smriti’s big innings consisted of 10 fours and 3 sixes at a strike rate of 160.00. Eventually, RCB comfortably won the game by 23 runs.
