0.96% – Chance of victory for Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) after two balls of the last over of the chase, according to ESPNcricinfo tipster. RCB needed 18 more runs at that point. Before RCB, no team had won by needing to score more than 15 runs in the last four balls in women’s T20s (where ball-by-ball data is available).
18 – Nadine de Klerk’s RBI runs in the final against Mumbai Indians (MI) are the third highest in the 20th over of a successful chase in all women’s franchise leagues.
De Klerk scored 20 in the over, but 18 is considered here, as a target in that over. Follow Melbourne Stars’ 23 against Melbourne Renegades in BBL 2022-23 and UP Warriorz’s 19 against Gujarat Giants in WPL 2023.
2 – players in WPL history who reached fifty and got four in the same game. De Klerk, with 4 for 26 and 63 not out on Friday night, joined Deepti Sharma, who made 59 and took 4 for 19 against Delhi Capitals in 2024.
42 – wickets for Amelia Kerr in the WPL, the highest in the tournament. Kerr passed her MI teammate Hayley Matthews (41) when she dismissed Radha Yadav and Richa Ghosh in the eighth over.
19 – point balls thrown by Lauren Bell, the highest in a WPL match. Bell began her WPL career with a maiden off Kerr and conceded her first run after bowling ten balls, the most by a bowler, the previous best being eight points by Tanuja Kanwar for Gujarat Giants against Delhi Capitals in 2024.
Kerr faced all ten of Bell’s dot balls and scored his first run on the 11th, the second most balls a batsman has had to face to get off the mark. Grace Harris of UP Warriorz received 15 balls against MI in 2024.
92 – runs added by RCB after the fall of the fifth wicket, the most points a team has scored from that position in a successful chase in the WPL.
9-3 – win-loss record for chasing teams at the DY Patil Stadium in Mumbai. The lowest total a team has been able to defend is MI’s 182 for 4 against UP Warriorz in 2023.
