WPL: The Pace With Which Asha Was Bowling, That's Where The Game Changed, Says Reema Malhotra
Asha Shobana Joy: Asha Shobana Joy’s five-wicket haul helped Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) get off to a winning start at WPL 2024 and former India cricketer Reema Malhotra believes the pace with which the leg-spinner bowled to the UP Warriorz batters changed the course of the match.
In defence of 158 at a sold-out M Chinnaswamy Stadium on Saturday night, Asha dismissed Vrinda Dinesh and Tahlia McGrath in the span of three deliveries in the ninth over. She then took out Shweta Sehrawat, Grace Harris and Kiran Navgire in the 17th over to end with figures of 5-22, registering the first five-wicket haul taken by an Indian bowler in the WPL.
Her performance helped RCB win over UP Warriorz by two runs in the second successive last-ball finish of the competition. Asha, the seasoned campaigner in the domestic circuit, was adjudged as the Player of the Match.
