Ellyse Perry stood tall amid ruins with yet another elegant knock but although Royal Challengers Bangalore could only manage a below-par 135 for 6 against Mumbai Indians, they found a way to bounce back and reach their maiden WPL final in a nail-biting WPL 2024 'Eliminator' contest on Friday.

Perry's 66 off 50 balls was the cornerstone of RCB's total after their top-order was blown away by a disciplined MI attack, reducing them to 24 for 3 inside the four overs of Powerplay.
