The two bowlers scalped three wickets apiece as RR restricted RCB to 157/8 in 20 overs. Rajat Patidar continued his sublime form and backed up his ton against the LSG in the Eliminator with a fine fifty against Bangalore.

He remained unbeaten at 106 in 60 deliveries, a knock that included six maximums and 10 fours. RR won by 7 wickets and will now face Gujarat Titans in the final on Sunday in Ahmedabad.

The first of these was Meena Shah, who made the national crown her own between 1959 and ’65; the second was Madhumita Goswami-Bisht, who won the title in an unbroken reel of seven from 1984 to ’90, and ended up with ten singles crowns; and the third was Aparna Popat, who made it nine in a row between 1997 and 2005.
