Renuka returned figures of 3/23, while Wareham bagged 3/25 as RCB mounted pressure after Delhi reached a comfortable 55/1 in the powerplay. The turning point came in the seventh over when RCB triggered a dramatic collapse, taking two wickets in just five balls
Jemimah Rodrigues, who had been in control with a brisk 34 off 22 balls (4x4, 2x6), was stumped by Richa Ghosh after attempting a reverse sweep. In the following over, Delhi's captain Meg Lanning miscued a short ball and was caught by Ellyse Perry at square leg
Although Lanning tried to lead a recovery with some stylish boundaries, RCB's bowlers and fielders, led by Renuka and Wareham, kept the pressure on, as Delhi lost their last five wickets in six overs
