Amelia Kerr (Player of the Match): "It always feels good after getting the win. It was a complete performance with the ball in hand, in the field and with the bat. So pleased to come out on top tonight.
I love batting and love training for batting. I have worked hard on it at home and just believing in myself when out in the middle. We have got a great coaching staff and girls who keep backing me to play my natural game.
It's tough to bowl the last over when Ellyse Perry, one of the best in the world, is batting. The length becomes important every time you bowl. You have to keep believing in yourselves as it goes your way or the other."

Nat Sciver-Brunt (Mumbai Indians Women Skipper): "Definitely. We read the game pretty well and put some things right today. Pretty happy with the effort.
We were happy with anything under 150. The wicket changes under lights and it becomes good to bat on. We had to execute with the ball and make them harder. The bowling, especially in the powerplay, was very good.
I think a bit about both. You don't want to bowl too many. We have got an attack that can bowl to right-handed and left-handed batters. So, no real worries.
Both Yastika and Matthews took individual roots. We spoke about putting the pressure back on the opposition and it was good to see them do it."

Smriti Mandhana (Royal Challengers Bangalore Women Skipper): "I think we didn't get the start we needed and failed to boss the game. It was the same wicket that we played on against the Delhi Capitals. I thought 165 would have been a good total but we didn't bat well.
Definitely. In the first phase, the ball was holding a bit on the surface and we didn't adjust to the conditions. We went with the flow and failed to adapt to the conditions and as a result, didn't get a good total.
In terms of bowling, we have to work on bowling on the stumps more. We have moved from it and it worked well for us in the first two games. So, we have to attack the stumps more moving forward.
Pezz is a fighter. She wasn't hundred percent today but the way she was moving on the field, anyone would doubt that. She played a good knock to take us to that total. We will look into the different areas to improve and we have two days to work on those.
Both saves were really brilliant. That's something which lifts the energy. Something to take from this game. Those sorts of efforts really lift up the spirit of the team and we will look to carry it forward."

10:21 PM IST, Local Time: That’s it. A comprehensive victory for the Mumbai Indians Women and they get back to winning ways in the WPL 2024. They have completely outplayed the Royal Challengers Bangalore Women and win the game by seven wickets to go to the top of the points table. This is their eight successive win while chasing in the competition’s history and their brilliant record while batting second remains intact.
Yastika Bhatia and Hayley Matthews gave the Mumbai Indians Women a perfect start while chasing 132. Yastika played some fantastic shots and scored 31 off just 15 balls before falling in the fourth over. Skipper Nat Sciver-Brunt walked out to bat at number three and started positively. The visitors kept scoring at close to 10 rpo as the RCB Women failed to keep a check on the scoring rate.
Shreyanka Patil removed Matthews on 26 in her very first over. Amelia Kerr joined her skipper at the crease. There were too many loose balls being bowled by the hosts and Nat and Kerr made sure that they put those away. Nat and Kerr put 49 between them before the former fell on 27. Kerr remained unbeaten on 40 off 24 balls to take her side across the line in the 16th over.
Earlier, the Mumbai Indians Women bowled beautifully upfront. They removed Smriti Mandhana (9), Sophie Devine (9) and Sabbhineni Meghana (11) inside the powerplay as the Royal Challengers Bangalore Women were reduced to 34/3 at the end of the fielding restrictions. Ellyse Perry looked settled at the crease but she lacked support from the other end. Richa Ghosh (7) and Sophie Molineux (12) fell cheaply.
Perry was joined by Georgia Wareham and both put a solid partnership of 52 for the sixth wicket which helped them get to a competitive total. Wareham holed out in the deep on 27 in the penultimate over and Perry’s unbeaten 44 helped them get to 131 at the end of their 20 overs. The MI Women picked up six wickets in total, with Nat Sciver-Brunt and Pooja Vastrakar finishing with two each. Their batters then contributed and chased down the total with seven wickets in hand.

15.1 G Wareham to A Kerr
4 FOUR!!! Amelia Kerr finishes things with a boundary. Wareham bowls a leg-break on the shorter side outside off, Kerr goes deep in her crease and cuts it hard in the gap between backward point and cover point for a boundary. No protection in the deep and it runs away to the fence in a flash. The Mumbai Indians Women beat the Royal Challengers Bangalore Women by seven wickets.
