A late rescue act from Radha Yadav and Richa Ghosh helped Royal Challengers Bangalore recover from early trouble before a devastating five-wicket haul from Patil consigned Gujarat Giants to defeat.
RCB were under severe pressure after losing wickets in clusters, with the innings in danger of collapsing completely. Radha and Ghosh responded with composure, stitching together a vital partnership that rebuilt momentum and pushed the total to a defendable score. Their calm shot selection and sharp running turned a precarious situation into a competitive one.
That platform proved more than enough once Patil took charge with the ball. Bowling with pace, accuracy, and relentless intent, she ripped through the Giants’ batting order, striking at regular intervals and leaving no room for recovery.
The result underlined RCB’s resilience and highlighted Patil’s match-winning impact, while the Giants were left to rue another missed opportunity.
