    Richa Ghosh
    64(27)
Right then, that is it from the curtain raiser clash of the 2025 Women's T20 League but this is just the beginning of another wonderful campaign. Next up, it is a clash between two prolific teams as Mumbai go up against Delhi at the very same in Vadodara. That game will begin at 7.30 pm IST (2 pm GMT) on Saturday, 15th February but you can join us a lot sooner for the build-up. Cheers!
Richa Ghosh is the PLAYER OF THE MATCH for her sensational knock. She says that the plan was to take her time and take the game deep but play her own game as well. Adds that she and Kanika Ahuja knew they could neutralize the situation. Mentions that the preparations they did in the practice match helped them a lot. Adds that she didn't think about the dropped catch and looked to keep things simple.
Smriti Mandhana, the skipper of Bengaluru says that she is really happy that she is on the winning side. Appreciate the batting of Richa Ghosh as it was amazing to watch her finish the game. Adds that these middle-order batters are practising a lot in the nets to hit those sixes and today it has clicked on and they knew that the dew would come on later so they were always ahead in the game. Mentions that they lost a couple of early wickets but luckily they had a good auction as whoever had come in, they have contributed as per their capabilities. All were good replacements and they just want to have a good discussion around for the next game. Jokes about that there is a time to take Ash Garnder for runs now.
The Presentation ceremony...
Earlier in the game, Smriti Mandhana put Gujarat into bat first and after losing a couple of wickets, the Aussie duo of Beth Mooney and Ash Gardner started to fire for the home side. They both went on to score half-centuries and coupled with a cameo from Deandra Dottin, Gujarat breached the 200-run mark. Gardner remained unbeaten on 79 off just 37 deliveries and it was the likes of Renuka Singh Thakur and Kanika Ahuja who bowled economically for Bengaluru. In reply, Bengaluru huffed and puffed but it was all carnage in the death overs and they managed to get over the line.
One of the stars of the chase for Bengaluru, Kanika Ahuja is down for a chat now. Kanika says that she is very happy, especially after missing the last season. Adds that the visualizations and the rehab worked a lot and she tried to give it her best with the bat. Mentions that she tried to hit everything that was in her reach. Jokes that she didn't visualize about her wicket but she did enjoy it. Also says that they just wanted to take the game deep and applauds the knocks that Ellyse Perry and Richa Ghosh played.
Ash Gardner, the skipper of Gujarat is up for a quick chat. She says that it is pretty disheartening as they went at the halfway of the inning with a score of 200 and they had to really bowl to win it but unfortunately, they dropped too many chances and that did cost them this match. Adds that definitely, there are a lot of positives from this game but it is a bit disappointing of course to not win after even making such a huge score. Tells that there are a lot of good performances in the team in both batting and bowling as how Dotting came in and smoked those sixes. But all the credit goes to Richa as she capitalized on the bad balls and played a good knock under the pressure. Mentions that it was pretty difficult to bowl with the dew maybe, that hasn’t helped them in winning this but she doesn’t want to use this reason as an excuse for the loss. Says that it is okay to show emotions and they were in a good position to win the game. The debutants did good and she just hopes they play like they have played today.
Gujarat might still be in a bit of a shock as they have been hit by a whirlwind of a storm and the game has slipped right out of their grasp. Skipper Ash Gardner had a fantastic outing in the first innings and she carried that momentum after the break, knocking over the opening duo of Bengaluru and set things up for her side. However, they failed to pick up any more wickets in the Powerplay and dropped Ellyse Perry when she wasn't quite set. The fielding continued to be their Achilles heal as there were more dropped catches and misfields but the biggest drop was when Simran Shaikh dropped Richa Ghosh. They did have plenty of runs to play it after that as well but the bowlers were then taken to the cleaners and it all got over sooner rather than later.
It might be a new season but in the end, all that mattered was which side had a previous winning habit and that was Bengaluru! Chasing 202 big runs, skipper Smriti Mandhana fell in the 2nd over and so did Danni Wyatt-Hodge, leaving the reigning champions way behind the right ball. Then came the stand between Ellyse Perry and Raghvi Bist, which was probably very crucial. Perry hit her way through and after a dropped catch, went on to score a half-century before eventually falling. With a long way to go Bengaluru needed something special and once Richa Ghosh was dropped on naught, it all started to come through. Kanika Ahuja and Ghosh went into overdrive mode after the 14th over and from being 109/4 in 12.2 overs, they ended up winning the game with 9 balls to spare. Ghosh played an unbelievable knock but Ahuja played a massive role too with her unbeaten 30 off just 13 balls.
The response of champions, that's what that was from Bengaluru! They have stolen the game away from right under Gujarat's clutches and what a start we have had to the 2025 edition of the Women's T20 League! Absolute heartbreak for Gujarat though, who played their part but faltered at crucial times in the chase.

In the air but falls in the vacant region towards square leg! A high full toss, around middle, Kanika Ahuja transfers her weight to the back foot and looks to heave it to the leg side but doesn't get the desired connection as the ball skews up in the air but doesn't go in the hands of the fielder. The batters run for a single. Kanika Ahuja thinks that it is a bit high and she has reviewed it for a NO BALL! The third umpire comes into play and they think it is a legal ball after seeing the replays.

Deandra Dottin To Kanika Ahuja
WIDE! On a good length, but down the leg side, Kanika Ahuja has a swing at it but misses. Called a wide.
Strategic break! Well, well, how the tables have turned in the last couple of overs! Once Ellyse Perry departed, Gujarat must have felt they were in control but that dropped catch of Richa Ghosh is proving to be very costly. 39 runs in the last two overs and with 40 needed off 24 balls, you wouldn't bet against the pair of Ghosh and Kanika Ahuja going on and sealing the win. However, one wicket and things could change dramatically again, so, hang on tight, it should be a topsy-turvy finish.

Tanuja Kanwer To Raghvi Bist
Tossed up, around off, Bist drops it down to cover.
Strategic break! Well, guess everyone needs a breather after those first 8 overs. A lot happening out there in the middle and while Gujarat ruled the roost early on thanks to a double breakthrough from their talismanic skipper, Ash Gardner, they seem to be letting it slip a touch here, especially in the field. Raghvi Bist and Ellyse Perry have already added a 50-plus stand but Perry hasn't quite looked at her best. She has got a life and had a good look in and she could be crucial for both sides. Let's find out how the next phase pans out.

Sayali Satghare To Ellyse Perry
FOUR! Gujarat's fielders aren't helping their team with these kinda efforts! Bowled fuller, around off, Ellyse Perry clears out her front leg and whips it in the gap towards long on and mid-wicket. Both fielders run to save the boundary but look at each other in the end and meanwhile, the ball races away to the boundary as neither of them makes any attempt to save it.

Sayali Satghare To Ellyse Perry
FIVE WIDES! What could have been a stumping which has ended in a boundary! Sayali Satghare sprays it down the leg side and on the fuller length, Ellyse Perry shimmies down the track and looks to flick it as the bowler has tricked her by changing her line. Perry misses her flick shot as the keeper moves to her left to collect the ball but gets blinded a bit and fails to do it. The ball goes towards deep fine leg for a boundary and called a wide.

DROPPED! Quite a simple catch for someone like Deol and she spills it! Touch fuller, around off and middle, coming in with the angle, Ellyse Perry goes deep in the crease and looks to loft it to the leg side, She doesn't get the desired elevation as the ball just goes wide of long on where Harleen Deol runs into her right but can't hold on the catch. They take a single.

A CHANCE OF RUNOUT IS GONE FOR GUJARAT! On a good length, around off and middle, Ellyse Perry tucks it towards mid-wicket and runs off for a quick single. There is a miscommunication as Perry wants to have a single but Raghvi Bist doesn't respond on time. And they both were in the middle of the create but then Raghvi tried to complete the run. The fielder at mid-wicket throws the ball to wide of the stumps where the keeper Beth Mooney can't hold the ball in the throw and the batter makes it to the crease.

OUT! TIMBER! Ash Gardner can do nothing wrong this evening it seems! Tosses this one up, a bit quicker and fuller, straighter too and gets it to just dip on the crease. Danni Wyatt-Hodge opts for a big slog sweep which is a risky shot and ends up playing all over it. The ball smashes into the middle stump and Bengaluru are already 2 down for 14!

Ash Gardner To Smriti Mandhana OUT!
OUT! LBW! A loud appeal and up goes the finger and Smriti Mandhana starts walking as well. However, Danni Wyatt-Hodge calls her and urges her to have a look and Mandhana does eventually review it. Ash Gardner bowls this one flat and on a length around off, this is the one that darts in with the arm. Mandhana goes on the back foot and looks to play a cross-batted shot but plays all around it and gets pinged in front of the stumps. The third umpire is called in. Nothing on UltraEdge and Ball Tracking comes up with three reds, poor review from Bengaluru. This was the crucial match-up and Gardner has once again come out on top, a huge wicket this.
