New Delhi [India], March 12 (ANI): Ellyse Perry's historic six-wicket haul dismantled Mumbai Indians (MI) and helped Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) bundle out MI to 113 in their Women's Premier League (WPL) match here at Arun Jaitley Stadium on Tuesday.

Put to bat first, openers Hayley Matthews and S Sajana started Mumbai's innings on a brisk note as the duo gathered 40 runs in 5 overs without losing a wicket.
The pair kept the scoreboard ticking for Mumbai hammering big shots every loose ball chance they received.
