After losing the season opener to Mumbai Indians, Delhi Capitals bounced back in their last match to secure the first win of this Women’s Premier League (WPL). The Meg Lanning-led side will look to continue the momentum when they take on Royal Challengers Bangalore in the next game. The big-ticket contest will be held at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on February 29. RCB, who finished at the second-last spot in the league table last year, have pulled off a roaring start to this season. They kicked off the campaign with a narrow two-run win over UP Warriorz before putting up a dominant performance against Gujarat Giants.
Coming to bat first, the Gujarat-based franchise lost some early wickets as none from the middle order could secure a double-digit score. They ultimately folded their innings at 107 runs. RCB did not face much trouble during the chase as they reached the target in just 12.3 overs.
Following back-to-back victories, Smriti Mandhana and Co. currently hold the top spot in the points table. Meanwhile, Delhi Capitals, in their last appearance, beat UP Warriors by nine wickets. Both openers of the Delhi unit registered a half-century. While Lanning scored a 43-ball 51, Shafali Verma remained unbeaten at 64 runs.
