WPL 2023, RCB vs MI live: Sophie Devine run out in the first over after Harmanpreet Kaur wins toss

Matthews to Mandhana. Match-up time.

RCB 1/1 (0.3 overs): WICKET! Oh dear, massive mix up. Devine taps to point, takes off but says no. Both batters are nearly at the same end. The throw should have been to non-strikers and Yastika should have thrown the ball to the other end. Poor awareness from her, Harmanpreet is initially angry. But turns out even Devine was short of the ground. Poor cricket all around, Devine pays the price. Devine run out 0 (2 balls)

Nat Sciver Brunt will start off, expect Hayley Matthews from the other end. Can Smriti Mandhana finish on a high? Will Sophie Devine produce more fireworks?
