What a finish! Nadine de Klerk delivered one of the most memorable overs in WPL history, hammering 20 runs off four balls to guide Royal Challengers Bengaluru to a thrilling triumph over Mumbai Indians.
The sequence was pure carnage: 6 over square leg, 4 through point, 6 over long-on, and 4 down the ground. RCB, chasing 156, were 10 runs short with 12 balls left when de Klerk took strike.
MI had dominated earlier phases. Their openers laid a strong platform, and despite RCB’s fightback with wickets from Asha Shobana and Sophie Devine, the total looked challenging.
De Klerk, batting at No. 7, combined power with precision. Her aggressive approach shifted momentum instantly. Teammates mobbed her as the winning runs came.
Post-match analysis highlights de Klerk’s growth in T20 cricket. RCB’s coach lauded her mental strength. For MI, it’s a wake-up call after recent losses.
With playoffs approaching, this result reshapes the points table. RCB’s fans dream big, fueled by such heroic performances.
