Royal Challengers Bangalore women's cricket team had a disappointing campaign in the ongoing Women's Premier League 2023 season. RCB finished their run in the WPL 2023 with a loss against Mumbai Indians on Tuesday (March 21) by four wickets. RCB could only post 125 runs on the board in first innings which the Harmanpreet Kaur-led side chased down in just 16.3 overs. With this win, Mumbai Indians moved on top of the WPL standings before Delhi Capitals sealed their spot in the final with a win in the evening game.
For sure, RCB had a season to forget with a star-studded failing to show their worth. Mandhana, who was the most expensive buy of the WPL 2023 auctions, had a very poor tournament. RCB lost all their five games in the beginning but managed to win their next two games.
However, during the final match, something surprising happened as RCB batter and captain Smriti Mandhana was seen bowling for the first time in the tournament. (How Can MI, DC, UPW Qualify Directly For Final Of WPL 2023? - Explained)
