Ellyse Perry's unbeaten (49 off 38) and Georgia Wareham (31 off 10) combined to score 39 runs in the last two overs, resulting in RCB ending with 199/3 in 20 overs.

During the second innings, MI bowlers Hayley Matthews and Amelia Kerr struggled to maintain their form, losing wickets to RCB's Sneh Rana, leading to a 45/2. Nat Sciver-Brunt regained the lead, but Mumbai lost captain Harmanpreet Kaur for 20 off 18. Sciver-Brunt scored 69 off 35 deliveries, but Perry's high catch secured the decisive wicket, leaving MI with 71 runs to score. MI continued to fight, but RCB secured an 11-run victory after five losses.
