Ellyse Perry match winning performance leads RCB into playoffs of WPL 2024.

In a pivotal match for her franchise in the Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2024, Royal Challengers Bangalore’s all-rounder Ellyse Perry showcased her prowess by claiming a remarkable six-wicket haul. During the game, Sajeevan Sajana (30) fell victim to Perry’s bowling prowess as she was bowled out. The illustrious cricketer then dismissed Harmanpreet Kaur, the Mumbai captain, for a golden duck, securing her second wicket of the match

Continuing her impressive performance, Perry went on to dismiss Amelia Kerr (2) with an LBW decision, followed by Amanjot Kaur (4), whose defenses were breached by the experienced Australian. Pooja Vastrakar (6) became Perry’s fifth victim as her stumps were dismantled. The sixth wicket came in the form of Nat Sciver-Brunt, who was also given out LBW, marking Perry’s historic six-wicket haul in the Women’s Premier League. Remarkably, she conceded only 15 runs in her four overs, further highlighting her dominance on the field.

Perry’s remarkable achievement surpasses the previous record held by South Africa’s Marizanne Kapp, who had taken five wickets while conceding just 15 runs against Gujarat Giants at the DY Patil Stadium, Navi Mumbai, on March 11, 2023. With this exceptional performance, Perry etched her name in the annals of Women’s Premier League history as the first cricketer to claim a six-wicket haul, solidifying her status as one of the game’s finest talents.
