Preview
Royal Challengers Bangalore Women have been shambolic, to say the least in the inaugural edition of the Women’s Premier League. The Smriti Mandhana-led team has lost all four games played so far and they have no one but themselves to blame for that loss. While there have been batting collapses in a couple of games, there have been poor bowling performances throughout the tournament so far. Smriti Mandhana has not cracked the code yet and thus RCB continue to suffer. They will have an uphill task when they face an upbeat Delhi Capitals who have been brilliant so far.
DC Women, under Meg Lanning look like a force to reckon with as they have won three out of four matches played. They crushed Gujarat Giants by ten wickets in their last game. The opening pair of Shafali Verma and Meg Lanning has been an instant hit while DC continue to ride on the brilliance of their international stars in bowling. It is going to be an interesting contest with RCB desperate for a win with DC on a merry run.
Pitch Report
The pitch at DY Patil Stadium is one of the best batting surfaces and it is expected to be the same for the RCB vs DC game. Batters will continue to enjoy the even bounce on the pitch while bowlers will have to be extra careful with their lengths.
