Bangalore and UP locked horns in the 13th game of the ongoing Women's T20 League 2023 at the D.Y Patil Stadium, Mumbai. The Red Army needed their first win of the tournament as they had lost all five games in the tournament. Also, they lost the reverse fixture against the Luckn0w-based side by 10 wickets. On the other hand, Uttar Pradesh was also coming off a loss.
However, they have a better situation than Bangalore as they have won two out of four. Meanwhile, in the game, Bangalore won the toss and elected to bowl first. Skipper Smriti Mandhana said at the toss "It's a fresh wicket, so we will bowl first and hope to chase down the total." The team had a great start as Sophie Devine trapped Devika Vaidya for lbw in the second ball of the game.
However, the Bangalore bowlers didn't stop there. They took five wickets for just 31 runs. At this stage, the likes of Grace Harris and Deepti Sharma put together 69 runs for the sixth wicket. However, after this partnership was broken, the last wickets fell quickly and the team was bowled out for 135. For Bangalore, Ellyse Perry took three wickets while Sobhana Asha and Sophie Devine took two each.
Bangalore finally gets the monkey off their backs
In reply, the Smriti Mandhana-led side got a dream as Devine hit 14 runs in the first over but lost her wicket at the end of the over. On the other hand, Mandhana's struggle in the tournament continued as she was cleaned up by Deepti Sharma in the second over. Things became a bit worse as they lost four wickets for 60 runs. At this point, the fans thought that once again, it will be a case of no point for the team. However, the likes of Kanika Ahuja and Richa Ghosh put together 60 runs for the fifth wicket. In the end, the team won the game by five wickets with two overs remaining.

Thanks Virat Kohli for motivating the RCB team. Had you not inspired the RCB team, they would have lost their 6th match in a row.#RCBvUPW #ViratKohliπ΅ pic.twitter.com/9R2y5PheBp
