UP Warriorz captain Deepti Sharma knocked over her counterpart Smriti Mandhana in the Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2025 match against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium on Monday, February 24.
Mandhana perished after scoring just six runs off nine balls, as the hosts lost their first wicket for 23. This was the third instance of Deepti dismissing Mandhana, once each in the first three seasons of the T20 league.
The dismissal came in the fourth over of RCB’s innings. Deepti bowled a length ball on middle and off stump and Mandhana shaped to cut the ball but there was no room on offer. All she managed was an inside edge that went onto uproot her off stump. Deepti Sharma was all smiles after getting the first breakthrough for her side and celebrated the wicket with her teammates.
