UP Warriorz players celebrate after winning a Women's Premier League (WPL) 2025 cricket match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium, in Bengaluru.
Sophie Ecclestone came up with an outstanding all-round show under pressure to hand UP Warriorz a sensational win over Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the first-ever Super Over of the Women's Premier League at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium on Monday (February 24, 2025). Earlier, Ellyse Perry and Danni Wyatt-Hodge sparkled with the bat to guide RCB 180 for six. But Ecclestone, who registered economical figures of 4-0-29-0, scored 33 off 19 balls to help UPW tie the match and take it to the Super Over, where they came out on top. UP managed just eight runs in the super over bowled by Kim Garth. The onus was then on RCB skipper Smriti Mandhana and Richa Ghosh to chase down the target of nine runs against Ecclestone but the English cricketer came out on top, conceding just four runs.
