Ellyse Perry has literally smashed her way to a half-century as Royal Challengers Bangalore defeated UP Warriorz by 23 runs in the WPL.

The Australian thrilled the fans in Bengaluru with a 37-ball 58 including four sixes, one of which smashed the rear window of a sponsor's car mounted on a stage behind the boundary.

In response, Warriorz skipper Alyssa Healy cracked a swift half-century herself, but afterwards she was stumped off Sophie Molineux as UP's victory chase gradually subsided.

Their third win from the first four matches moves RCB, playing their final match in front of a home crowd before the event moves to Delhi, to equal top with the Mumbai Indians and Meg Lanning's Delhi Capitals.

"It is the the best atmosphere I have consistently played in front of in my entire career," Perry said.

"I had a great chance to get myself in with Smriti [Mandhana] at the other end, and then it was nice at the end to release a few."

On breaking the car window she added, half joking: 'I was a bit worried. I'm not sure I have insurance over here to cover me. So in a bit of strife there."

Healy had put RCB in to bat but the move backfired, with Mandhana and Sabbhineni Meghana cracking 57 off the first 32 balls before the latter holed out for a 21-ball 28.

That brought in Perry and she initially played second fiddle to player of the match Mandhana as the pair put on 95 in 64 balls.

After Mandhana finally perished for 80 off 50 balls, Perry cut loose.

She had already sent compatriot Grace Harris (0-25) over the rope, then hit successive sixes off Rajeshwari Gayakwd, then clouted Deepti Sharma into the sponsor's car at deep mid-wicket, leaving her mouth agape and putting her hand on her head.
