A massive five runs saved there.

Renuka Singh Thakur to Deandra Dottin, DROPPED! Would you believe it? Of all the fielders in the world, the least you would expect to drop this catch but Ellyse Perry has floored it. Renuka Singh Thakur bowls it full and angles it into the stumps, Deandra Dottin backs away to go big but mistimes it down to long on. Perry doesn't come much forward and the ball drops on her and pops out of the hands. A single taken and how costly could that prove to be for Bengaluru?

Strategic break! So, so, so Gurajarat have changed the course of the game in the last four overs as they have added 61 runs in that span. They were on the verge of looking at a mid-to-average total on this pitch halfway through the inning but their skipper thought something else as Ash Gardner started firing and Deandra Dottin joined her skipper on her debut. They both are looking so good on the crease and must be looking for a big total. Bengaluru kept the things tightly for the first twelve overs but their bowlers have given away too many runs which can haunt them when they come to chase. They just now need to take a couple of wickets to snatch that momentum back to their side. What is going to happen in the last four overs?
