Royal Challengers Bengaluru: UP Warriorz held their nerve to script a dramatic four-run victory over Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the first-ever Super Over of the Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2025 at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium here on Monday. Sophie Ecclestone emerged as the undisputed star of the night, both with the bat and ball, playing a defining role in Warriorz's extraordinary heist.

Ecclestone produced a performance straight out of a fantasy script, first with the bat and then stepping up with the ball to seal an extraordinary game. The UP Warriorz, staring at defeat, staged a miraculous comeback to stun the defending champions in their own backyard.

Chasing a formidable target of 181, the Warriorz found themselves in early trouble despite an explosive start from Kiran Navgire. The aggressive opener took the attack to Renuka Singh, smashing back-to-back boundaries in the first over. She continued her onslaught before Renuka struck back, dismantling Navgire’s stumps for a quickfire 24 off 12 deliveries.
