Perry (57, 34b, 6x4, 2x6) and Ghosh (64 not out, 27b, 7x4, 4x6) were in sublime touch as defending champions RCB scaled down the target of 202 with ease in the tournament opener.
Chasing the improbable target, opener Richa Ghosh made a 72-ball 54 at the top, but India never looked in contention.
Royal Challengers Bangalore took the difficult path to their maiden WPL victory after beating 2023 champions Mumbai Indians in a thrilling eliminator clash on Friday before defeating Delhi Capitals in the final on Sunday.
Women's Premier League 2024: “Making the (WPL) finals was a huge priority for us (RCB) and we started playing some good cricket at the right time... We’ve played eight games, we’ve got a good feel on what our roles are and how we can contribute to the team,” Ellyse Perry said in a press conference organised by RCB Media.
Ellyse Perry, 33, returned spectacular figures of 6 for 15 from her allocated four overs, including 18 dots, to set up a decisive seven-wicket win for Royal Challengers Bangalore in New Delhi that sent them through to the playoffs.
The world’s premier allrounder until not so long ago, Ellyse Perry has sent a timely reminder of what she might bring to a starting XI in the 2023 T20 World Cup in February and the Women's IPL in 2023.
