WPL cricket final 2024: Ellyse Perry and Sophie Molineux have powered the Royal Challengers Bangalore to the Women’s Premier League crown.WPL cricket final 2024: Ellyse Perry and Sophie Molineux have powered the Royal Challengers Bangalore to the Women’s Premier League crown.and Sophie Molineux have proved the Australian match-winners with bat and ball as they inspired Royal Challengers Bangalore to the Women’s Premier League title in India.
But the Australian who really silenced the home Delhi fans in the Arun Jaitley Stadium was Molineux, who earlier produced one dream over of spin, taking three wickets in four balls to devastate the Capitals’ top-order and end Lanning’s ambition of a final triumph for the second year running.After winning the toss, Lanning, playing second fiddle to the big-hitting Shafali Verma, had powered Delhi to the ideal start, blitzing to 0-64 in just seven overs.
When Lanning then got snared lbw by another spinner Shreyanka Patil for a run-a-ball 23, the heart was ripped from the Delhi innings as they crumbled from 4-74 to 113 all out off 18.3 overs. Shreyanka was outstanding with her 4-12.Molineux also proved brilliant in the field, running out Radha Yadav with a direct hit, powering in a left-handed throw from point.
But the winning line always seemed to be under her control as Perry hit four boundaries in her 37-ball knock while Richa Ghosh was an able partner, finishing 17no off 14 balls after clubbing the winning boundary with still three balls left.“This is a whole other level for us and women’s cricket. The standard of cricket has been unbelievable – it’s been so much fun to play.
