I think we needed to bowl into the wicket, that’s what all the spinners did – Radha Yadav
Radha Yadav, who won Player of the Match, for her heroics with the ball opened up about her performance. She said that she needed to bowl into the wicket and they were confident of defending the target of 163 runs.
Radha Yadav also praised the crowd at the Chinnaswamy Stadium, expressing her hope to see a similar crowd at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. Speaking to the broadcasters after the game, she explained:
“I think we needed to bowl into the wicket, that’s what all the spinners did. The pitch was slow and stopped a bit. We knew this wasn’t an easy pitch, so we were confident about defending 163. We just hope we get the same type of crowd in Delhi as well and hope they’ll come to support women’s cricket. The crowd here in Bengaluru was crazy, they just didn’t support an individual, they supported good cricket and they supported women’s cricket.”
Radha Yadav is the leading wicket-taker in the WPL 2024. She has picked 7 wickets in the 4 games that she has played. She would be hoping to add more wickets to her tally and win more games for her team.
