STAT ALERT: UP Warriorz break record for highest WPL total, Georgia Voll misses first ever century a run | Cricket News

Royal Challengers Bengaluru were once again at the receiving end of a big total in the Women’s Premier League. Already, they held the record for conceding the highest total in the tournament hory as well as in the third edition so far. And both those marks were beaten a belligerent UP Warriorz side. Already eliminated from the playoff race, and playing their last match of the tournament in their backyard in Lucknow, UPW smashed 225/5, the highest score in WPL so far, breaking Delhi Capitals’ 223/2 against RCB at the Brabourne Stadium in 2023.
But another record fell just short at the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow: the wait for the first WPL century continued. Georgia Voll slammed an unbeaten 99, equaling the highest individual score of Sophie Devine. Beth Mooney (Gujarat Giants, 96*) and Meg Lanning (Delhi Capitals, 92) were also close to the landmark in Lucknow this week.
Voll was in superb form, striking 17 fours and one six in her 56-ball knock, leading a stellar top-order performance. Kiran Navgire (46 off 16 balls), Grace Harris (39 off 22), and Chinelle Henry (19 off 15) were the other contributors after UPW were asked to bat first.

RCB, who had lost their last four matches (all at home in Bengaluru), saw skipper Smriti Mandhana win the toss, but Voll and Harris took full advantage of it, posting the highest powerplay score of the season, reaching 67/0. UPW made the most of the short boundaries at the Ekana, targeting the right areas as RCB bowlers could barely exert any control from start tot finish.

RCB, along with UPW, will get knocked out of the tournament with a defeat on Saturday.
