Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) all-rounder Ellyse Perry came up with a magical effort on the field during the ongoing game against Delhi Capitals. The 14th match of the WPL 2025 between the teams is taking place at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Saturday (1st March).
Ellyse Perry has been having the time of her life in the ongoing WPL 2025. The Australia National Cricket Team all-rounder has been extremely successful with the bat in the ongoing edition and this was evident during the ongoing game as well as she played yet another blinder.
While her batting was top-notch, Ellyse Perry produced a moment of brilliance in the field to take her team off to a flying start in the second innings. The Australia National Cricket Team all-rounder turned into a superwoman and took a magnificent catch to remove Delhi Capitals skipper Meg Lanning.
Renuka Singh bowled an inswinging delivery, and that was pitched right up, bending in at the stumps. Meg Lanning tried to loft it down the ground but didn’t get the proper connection as the ball took the inside half of the bat to mid-on where Ellyse Perry took a good overhead catch while jumping in the air.

I got into the tournament with a very good rhythm – Shikha Pandey
For Delhi Capitals, Shikha Pandey was the pick of the bowlers as she returned with the figures of 2/24. While talking about her heroics with the ball, she said that she entered the tournament on the back of good rhythm and credited bowlers for their efforts. Speaking after the match, she said:
“I thought I got into the tournament with a very good rhythm, but I lost it in between. Sat with the DC support staff and the support I have got is immense. It is about contributing, and I’m glad I did that. Our bowlers did really well not to allow them to get 150.
“I think it is a really good batting wicket. We have gotten so used to the Bangalore pitches having good pace and carry, we are used to the hard length, but today it is on the slower side, so have to pitch fuller.”
