UP Warriorz went out of WPL 2025 in the most exciting manner, and they took defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru together with them. This method Gujarat Giants will now make their maiden playoffs look, becoming a member of Delhi Capitals and Mumbai Indians. The fight for the top spot, though, remains extensive open. Warriorz belted the tournament's maximum general but, courtesy Georgia Voll's unbeaten 99, some other file for the WPL's joint-maximum person rating. And that almost did not show sufficient due to the fact Richa Ghosh and Sneh Rana threatened a jailbreak. Ghosh smashed 69 off 33, however her dismissal with RCB wanting fifty five off 3.4 overs left them on the edge. Then came some other twist, when Deepti Sharma, who brushed off Ghosh, conceded the maximum runs in a single over in the WPL's quick records - 28 off the 19th - as Rana smacked her for an notable collection of 4, 6, 6, four, 6 to deliver the goal down to fifteen off seven balls. One of the fours additionally came off a no-ball, however extra dramatically, previous to handing over that ball, Deepti stopped brief of her transport stride when Kim Garth subsidized up too a ways at the non-striker's end, however did not run her out. But Rana's magic ended when she muscled a flat hit instantly to Poonam Khemnar, whom RCB had permit cross ahead of the auction, at the deep midwicket fence. That blow, which left RCB nine down, was the knockout punch for the defending champions, with Warriorz sealing victory in the very last over when they had Renuka Singh run out. Fittingly sufficient, Voll, who at one point may also have questioned if her magical knock may also have long past in vain, added the final over that she started with dots to all however close it out earlier than the run-out. It marked an wonderful end to Voll's maiden WPL stint, which had wanted her to reduce short her domestic upkeep in Queensland to make a brief sprint to India best every week ago. Having are available in as a replacement for Chamari Athapaththu, Voll showed potential to likely be retention fabric, a precise fine for the Warriorz in a marketing campaign that added them just three wins in eight fits. Voll, Harris make merry Having made an affect in her first set of video games for Australia in Alyssa Healy's absence, Voll did the identical in the WPL too. Three nights after hitting a 1/2-century on debut, she cranked it up several notches at the side of Grace Harris as the Warriorz went hell for leather within the powerplay, hitting the second-maximum obstacles (thirteen) on this segment inside the tournament's short history. Voll exhibited her sturdy back-foot game, a consequence of getting been introduced up on bouncy decks in Queensland. She frequently stayed beside the line and spread out not possible gaps inside the backward factor area, however the standout was her show of brute forearm electricity and a strong bottom hand to play a ferocious whip in front of square. At the other quit, Harris scooped and paddled her manner to boundaries, quick to pounce on anything free - and there had been lots of such deliveries from RCB's new-ball pair of Garth and Renuka. Warriorz muscled their manner to 67 for zero in six overs - the highest powerplay score this season. RCB had a gift quickly after the powerplay whilst Harris changed into run out, however Kiran Navgire failed to take lengthy to settle in, muscling her 2nd ball, off Ellyse Perry, over the 60-metre boundary at deep rectangular leg, and then carrying on to hit legspinner Georgia Wareham for lower back-to-returned sixes inside the following over. At the other cease, Voll raised her 2d instantly fifty, off 31 balls, when she swung a full-toss to the deep midwicket boundary. The 2d-wicket pair's consolation against spin forced Smriti Mandhana to show to Renuka once more in the 12th over, however the circulate proved fully ineffective as Navgire clobbered her for 4, 2, four, zero, 6, 6. The sixes had been a aspect of splendor for her nonchalance in swatting period balls bowled into the deck over the leg-aspect fence. Overs 9-12 brought Warriorz 64 runs as they set themselves up for over 2 hundred. RCB had a grab of wickets inside the returned cease once they brushed off Navgire, Chinelle Henry and Sophie Ecclestone, however a tiring Voll charged towards a the match's first-ever century, best to be denied off the remaining ball whilst a half of-strive at a second run to lengthy-on, which could have introduced up the landmark, brought about Deepti being run out.
