RCB Vs GG LIVE Cricket Score, WPL 2026: Kashvee, Renuka Trigger Early Royal Challengers Bengaluru Collapse

RCB are wobbling, and badly. Kashvee Gautam strikes again as Hemalatha looks to hook a short ball, only to pick out short fine leg. Debutant Shivani Singh moves swiftly to her right and pulls off a superb one-handed catch, announcing herself in style. Moments later, the big blow arrives.

Renuka Singh tempts Smriti Mandhana with a pitched-up delivery outside off, a hint of movement away, and the drive flies straight off the edge. Rajeshwari dives to her right at short third to complete a sharp catch.

RCB had raced to 23 in the opening over, but since then it’s been a collapse, three wickets inside the powerplay, momentum gone, and Mandhana’s struggles against the Giants continue.

That one will sting. Kashvee Gautam bends it back sharply, the big inswinger crashing into Grace Harris’ back pad. No bat involved, impact bang in line and the ball just clipping leg stump, the finger goes up.

Harris departs after a blazing start, and RCB will feel this one, because a few more overs from her could have blown the powerplay wide open. Grace Harris lbw Kashvee Gautam for 17 off 8 balls, with four boundaries.

Smriti Mandhana and Grace Harris open the batting for RCB, and it’s a flying start as Harris crunches four boundaries early on.
