00:01Defending champions Mumbai Indians were told by RCB to bat first in their WPL match in Vadodara.
00:08Sajeevan Sajna was out leg before to Lauren Bell for seven.
00:13But Hayley Matthews and new batter Nat Sibabrunt stuck around for quite a while.
00:18The two had a solid partnership which set the platform for a healthy total.
00:23Their stand was worth 131 runs for the second wicket.
00:26Matthews made 56 laced with nine fours.
00:36She was castled by Bell giving the bowler her second wicket.
00:41But Sibabrunt went on to get 100 not out.
00:44In so doing, she was the first player to score a century in the WPL.
00:52Mumbai Indians closed on a decent 199 for four from their 20 overs.
00:57When RCB responded, Shabnam Ismail had Grace Harris caught behind for 15.
01:03Then it was the turn of Matthews to shine with ball in hand by first removing Captain Smitty Mandana for six.
01:10Matthews then sent Georgia Waal packing for nine and it was 31 for three.
01:16Navdha 31 for four as Ismail took her second scalp.
01:19But Matthews was the best bowler with three for ten from just two overs.
01:28Nadine de Klerk chipped in with 28 of 20 balls.
01:35When de Klerk was out, RCB were in dire straits at 77 for six.
01:39She doesn't have enough of it.
01:42A lot depended on Richa Ghosh to try and bring it home.
01:48But wickets fell around her with this brilliant run out making it 129 for eight.
01:56Ghosh was going ballistic but it did not make a difference in terms of the result.
02:01She smashed 90 or 50 deliveries with ten fours and six sixes.
02:08Ghosh was out of the last ball giving Amelia Kerr two wickets in the innings.
02:13RCB were restricted to 184 for nine and lost by 15 runs.
02:18Despite the outcome, they are at the top with Mumbai Indians second.
