Richa Ghosh and Ellyse Perry delivered stunning performances with the bat as the Royal Challengers Bengaluru pulled off the highest run chase in Women's Premier League history, securing a thrilling six-wicket victory over Gujarat Giants on Friday.

Perry, scoring 57 off 34 balls with six boundaries and two sixes, along with Ghosh, who remained unbeaten at 64 from 27 balls with seven fours and four sixes, led a splendid recovery for RCB.

Perry, who overcame a dropped catch at 19, and partner Raghavi Bist consolidated with an 86-run stand before Perry fell.
