RCB's Radha and Richa Rally From 43-4 to Win WPL Match
After crashing to 43 runs for four wickets, Royal Challengers Bengaluru seemed headed for defeat. Then Radha Yadav and Richa Ghosh mounted an incredible comeback with a 105-run partnership that turned the game around completely.
When Royal Challengers Bengaluru found themselves at 43 for four wickets in Friday's Women's Premier League match, their season looked in serious trouble. What happened next proved why women's cricket is capturing hearts worldwide.
Radha Yadav and Richa Ghosh walked to the crease with their team in crisis at Mumbai's D.Y. Patil Stadium. The Gujarat Giants bowlers had dominated the PowerPlay, and RCB's top order had crumbled under pressure.
But instead of folding, the two experienced players built something special. Over the next several overs, they added 105 runs together, completely changing the match's momentum.
Radha scored her first-ever WPL fifty, finishing with an impressive 66 runs off 47 balls. Richa contributed 44 runs from just 28 balls, hitting powerful sixes when her team needed them most.
Their partnership lifted RCB to a total of 182 runs, a score that seemed impossible when they were struggling earlier. The crowd watched as catches were dropped and boundaries flowed, turning disaster into opportunity.
The comeback didn't stop there. When Gujarat Giants came out to chase, RCB bowler Shreyanka Patil delivered a match-winning performance with five wickets.
Giants opener Beth Mooney and Sophie Devine gave their team hope with a solid start. But Shreyanka's bowling broke through their defense, taking wicket after wicket to put RCB in control.
Why This Inspires
This match shows the mental toughness that makes sports so compelling to watch. When most teams would have given up after losing four early wickets, Radha and Richa chose to fight back.
Their partnership wasn't just about runs. It was about showing younger players that difficult situations can be overcome with skill, patience, and belief in yourself.
The victory marks RCB's third straight win in the tournament, proving that resilience pays off. Gujarat Giants, despite the loss, saw promising performances that they can build on in future matches.
Women's cricket continues to deliver thrilling moments that inspire fans of all ages, and this comeback will be remembered as one of the season's finest displays of determination.
