For Royal Challengers Bangalore to go to the postseason, they required a unique ingredient. And Ellyse Perry, the Wonder Woman, delivered just that. She conceded just 16 runs in her allotted 4 overs and was able to claim 6 dismissals.
Perry was added to the bowling assault towards the end. In her first nine deliveries, she failed to get a wicket. She did, however, reverse the trend and take six wickets in the following fifteen deliveries. Perry wrote the greatest bowling display in WPL history with 4 bowled and 2 LBWs.
It was nice to go outside and have a fantastic game with the girls; it was a lot of fun. In the past three years, I have worked with coaches back home and have really liked bowling. After the game, Perry remarked, “I just managed to find a good length and it did a little bit off the wicket.”
The games came thick and fast, and I really enjoyed working with Richa Ghosh. It was also wonderful to hang around in the center for a while. Perry stated, “We are looking forward to playing some good cricket here and getting used to the conditions in Delhi.”
