WPL 2025: Richa Ghosh, Sneh Rana shine but it’s the hope that kills as RCB’s playoff bid ends

Batting on 61 off 29, in the middle of the 16th over, Richa Ghosh took count of the fielding changes, then took a couple of deep breaths, calming herself down. Next ball, as Chinelle Henry strayed down the leg side, Ghosh just casually flicked the ball, and deposited it over the fence.

WPL 2025: Depleted RCB flex batting muscle, with helping hand(s) from Gujarat Giants

Leading up to the tournament, they lost the services of Sophie Devine, Sophie Molineux and Asha Sobhana. Shreyanka Patil’s name was absent from the playing XI in the first game and she posted on social media: “Heartbroken, but I will fly again,” casting doubt over whether she can be fit for the season.
