RCB's total of 182/7 in the aforementioned game proved enough as Shreyanka's exceptional bowling performance tormented the GG batters. She took one wicket in each of her first three overs before scalping two in her fourth. Big hitters like Beth Mooney, Kanika Ahuja, Kashvee Gautam, and Tanuja Kanwer were among her victims as GG were all out for 150.

In 2024, Asha Sobhana became the first Indian to bag a fifer in WPL history. In her debut match, the leg-spinner bowled a stellar spell against UP Warriorz in Bengaluru. Asha claimed 5/22 in her four overs as RCB successfully defended 157 runs and recorded a narrow two-run win. The young leg-spinner dismissed five of UPW's top-six batters, having trapped Vrinda Dinesh, Tahila McGrath, Grace Harris, Shweta Sehrawat, and Kiran Navgire.

Her victims were Harmanpreet Kaur, Sajeevan Sajana, Amelia Kerr, Amanjot Kaur, Pooja Vastrakar, and Nat Sciver-Brunt. Perry conceded 15 runs in four overs as MI were folded for 113.
