During the ongoing WPL match, Ellyse Perry hit a massive six that smashed into the display car window, leaving the stadium in awe and prompting Perry to express a sweet gesture of apology.
In their ongoing fifth match of the Women’s Premier League 2024 against UP Warriorz at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Royal Challengers Bangalore Women (RCB-W) staged a remarkable comeback after two consecutive losses. With captain Smriti Mandhana leading the charge with 80 off 50 balls, RCB-W posted a total of 198/3 in their 20 overs.
Adding to the fireworks, Ellyse Perry contributed a brilliant half-century, scoring 58 runs off 37 balls. However, Perry’s explosive batting not only troubled the UP bowlers but also resulted in an unexpected casualty – a sponsor car parked near the boundary.
Perry’s massive six during the 19th over, off the bowling of Deepti Sharma, crashed into the car’s window, leaving the crowd astonished. Despite the unintended mishap, Perry’s apologetic gesture of tapping her head added a touch of humor to the situation.

Ecclestone stood out for the visitors, with an economical spell of just 22 runs in four overs, maintaining her position as the purple-cap holder. However, the rest of the bowling lineup struggled to contain the home side’s batting onslaught.
As the side plays its final match in Bengaluru, they aim to conclude their home campaign on a positive note. Meanwhile, the Warriorz face a daunting task, needing to chase down a formidable target of 199 runs for victory. Alyssa Healy’s form as an opener remains crucial for them, exploiting the powerplay for early runs.
Currently, RCB holds the fourth position on the table, while UPW sits just above them in third place, each with four points.
