The WPL 2024 season witnessed a moment of sheer jubilation as the Bangalore crowd erupted in joy when Renuka Singh, the star in Indian women’s cricket, cleaned up Gujarat Giants Women captain Beth Mooney with a stunning delivery in the powerplay.
RCB-W clashed with GG-W in a high-pressure WPL game at M. Chinnaswamy Cricket Stadium earlier today. Home captain Smriti Mandhana won the toss and opted to bowl first in a no-brainer tactical call.
The surface had helped bowlers with the new ball, and Renuka Singh optimised the pitch assistance to provide an early breakthrough for her team, RCB-W.
In the second over of her first spell, Singh bowled a conventional inswinger, which swooped through Beth Mooney’s gates.
The ball shaped in from outside the off stump and sneaked through the big gap between Mooney’s bat and pad. The Gujarat skipper failed to use her feet and was deceived by Singh’s angling in delivery.
Through the gates 🔥🔥
