Match Preview
The second season of the Women’s Premier League has reached its final stage, and in the summit clash, we will have Meg Lanning's and Smriti Mandhana’s squads battling it out for the coveted title. The Royal Challengers Bangalore Women, after having a meager first season of the tournament, made a solid comeback in the second season to book their spot in the top two. The Bengaluru-based franchise defeated reigning champions Mumbai Indians Women in the Eliminator to book a final date with the Capitals.
The Delhi-based franchise, ruling the WPL 2024 standings, successfully moved past league challenges to make it to their second consecutive finale. The finale will take place on March 17, Sunday, at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in the national capital city, New Delhi.
Toss Prediction
The high-voltage clash between Delhi Capitals Women and Royal Challengers Bangalore Women will be the third time both sides go head-to-head in the second season of the tournament. In the past two league-stage matches, both captains, Meg Lanning and Smriti Mandhana, won one toss each. For the last and final match of the current season, we think luck would favour home captain Lanning, and she would win the toss over Mandhana, to start off the game on a favourable note.
Win Possibility
As mentioned, both Delhi Capitals Women and Royal Challengers Women have already locked horns twice in the league stage of the tournament. Delhi Capitals Women emerged victorious in both matches. That being said, Royal Challengers Bangalore Women made a commendable comeback in the tournament and went on to defeat 2023 champions Mumbai Indians Women to book their spot in the finale.
However, while Mandhana and her girls will be desperate to make the most of their first qualification and win the title, one cannot ignore the consistency of Delhi throughout the season. Lanning and her side dominated their rivals and ruled the standings for most of the season, for a smooth sail to the finale. We have also mentioned that Delhi Capitals Women rose to the occasion in the past two games against RCB Women, and hence, they are likely to win their third battle of the season as well.
Predicted Powerplay Score and Average First Inning Score
The Arun Jaitley Stadium of New Delhi will host the grand finale of the second edition of the Women’s Premier League. The average first-inning score of the stadium for the tournament is around 158.6, and it is likely to be somewhere between 170-190 in the upcoming match. The powerplay score of the match is expected to be between 45-54.
