BW-United continued their unbeaten run in the DCB T20 Women’s Bundesliga with a clinical 10-wicket victory over RCC Women at TG 1875 Darmstadt. Intermittent showers before kickoff left the outfield damp and the pitch slightly tacky, but play proceeded under overcast skies punctuated by brief sun breaks. Electing to bat after winning the toss, RCC Women struggled to find any rhythm against BW-United’s disciplined attack.
Early breakthroughs from Swathi Thiruppathi Kannan and Manasi Kasande set the tone: Swathi removed two top-order batters, ending with figures of 2 overs, 1 maidens, 4 runs, 2 wickets. Manasi matched her effort, chipping in with 2 overs, 1 maidens, 2 runs, 2 wickets, both bowling probing lines that forced early mistakes. As the scoreboard ticked slowly, wickets tumbled at regular intervals. The remaining four bowlers each chipped in with a solitary scalp, underlining the collective effort that bundled RCC Women out for 45 in 13.5 overs.
Despite lingering clouds and the occasional drizzle interrupting play, BW-United’s openers wasted no time in dismantling the modest target. Anjuli and Anagha raced to 48 without loss in just 8.5 overs, both paddling the ball into gaps and taking quick singles. Swathi’s searing spell and measured economy earned her the Player of the Match award, marking a personal milestone in BW-United’s dominant bowling display.
