Royal Challengers Bangalore clashed against UP Warriorz in the 13th match of the T20 extravaganza. RCB won the toss and skipper Smriti Mandhana opted to bowl.

Ellyse Perry was RCB’s wrecker-in-chief, picking up three wickets while giving away just 16 runs in four overs.
During the chase, Bangalore were in a precarious situation, having lost four wickets for 60 runs in nine overs.

Kanika smashed 46 runs off 30 deliveries to help Bangalore win the game by five wickets and register their first win of the ongoing marquee event. Her magnificent innings consisted of eight boundaries and a six. The 20-year-old was adjudged the Player of the Match for her sensational innings.
