WPL: Sophie Devine’s incredible 36-ball 99 powers RCB to eight-wicket win over Gujarat Giants
Sophie Devine lit up the Mumbai skyline with an astonishing 36-ball 99 as Royal Challengers Bangalore made short work of a 189-run target for an eight-wicket victory over Gujarat Giants in the Women’s Premier League here on Saturday.
It rained sixes from the broad willow of Devine as RCB breezed past the target with as many as 27 balls to spare and keep their slim playoff hopes alive with a second successive victory.
Devine, who has also represented New Zealand in hockey before starting out in cricket as a bowler often batting at number 11, played an innings that will go down as one of the finest in the history of the T20 format.
Sophie Devine scored an incredible 99 off just 36 deliveries in a successful run-chase for @RCBTweets and bagged the Player of the Match award 👏👏#RCB register...
