A record number of runs were scored on Friday night in Vadodara, and Ashleigh Gardner equalled the record for the most sixes in an innings but still ended up on the losing side

Star Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) player Richa Ghosh has credited her sensational performance in the Women's Premier League (WPL) 2025 to pre-game match simulations. These strategic preparations proved instrumental in RCB's record-breaking run-chase against the Gujarat Giants.

Set 202 to win, RCB thrived on a stunning 27-ball 64* (7X4, 4X6) from Richa Ghosh and a 34-ball 57 from Ellyse Perry to gun down the target with nine balls to spare. It marked the first occasion of a successful 200-plus run chase in WPL’s brief history and conclusively outshone an equally stunning six-hitting display from GG skipper Ashleigh Gardner.
