Meghana: 'Smriti urged me to use Powerplay to help RCB win'

The fourth-wicket stand between the duo boosted RCB to go from 54-3 to a solid 157-6, which was enough to get a win

Sabbhineni Meghana, who made a 44-ball 53 in Royal Challengers Bangalore’s two-run win over UP Warriorz in WPL, revealed captain Smriti Mandhana asked her to utilise the Powerplay as much as possible.

Playing for RCB for the first time, Meghana played some stunning shots while stitching a match-defining 71-run partnership with Richa Ghosh. The fourth-wicket stand between the duo boosted RCB to go from 54-3 to a solid 157-6, which was enough to get a win.

“Smriti just told me this is my first time going one down. I was an opening batter all these years. So, she was just telling me, like, utilise the Powerplay as much as you can. Get those boundaries like how you bat naturally in the Powerplay,” Meghana said.
