Player of the match, Sophie

For her outstanding performance, Sophie was named as Player of the Match. After this inning, Sophie said in the presentation that winning the orange cap from Meg Lanning is always nice. I was at ease today. I didn’t care if I got out for 99 because I had to win the match for the team as soon as possible. Sophie added that we might still be able to make the playoffs.

Points table after GG vs RCB

Fixtures for RCB and GG

The Royal Challengers Bangalore have one remaining game, which they will play on March 21 against the Mumbai Indians. On the other hand, GG still has one match left, which they will play on March 20 against the UP Warriors.

It will be interesting to see whether the team at the bottom of the points table, GG, or RCB, will have any chance to qualify for the playoffs. However, this totally depends on the first three teams at the points table.
