WPL 2024, RCB vs DC Live Cricket Score, Royal Challengers Bangalore vs Delhi Capitals: RCB collapse in record chase

 WPL 2024, RCB vs DC Live Cricket Score, Royal Challengers Bangalore vs Delhi Capitals: 

Shafali Varma and Alice Capsey helped Delhi Capitals (DC) dominate the first 10 overs after Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) won the toss and chose to bowl first. Meg Lanning fell early but Capsey and Shafali then put on 82 runs for the second wicket off just 43 balls. Shafali reached her half-century off just 30 balls with back to back sixes but fell off the very next ball after that. Capsey has been going big guns ever she came into the middle.

RCB clawed their way back somewhat in the second half of the innings though. Capsey missed out on a half-century , falling on 46 off 33 to Nadine de Klerk. Marizanne Kapp and Jess Jonassen then continue the onslaught for DC as they try to get as close to 200 as possible. Kapp fell on 32 off 16 while Jonassen finished unbeaten on 36 off 16 balls. DC ended up smashing 70 runs in the last five overs and ended up with a score of 194/5. RCB will have to break the record for the highest succesfull run chase in the WPL to win this match.

RCB won the toss and chose to bowl first against the DC at the Chinnaswamy Stadium. RCB had a forgettable Women's Premier League (WPL) last season but seem to have put that behind them this year. They won their first match against UP Warriorz by two runs and then thrashed Gujarat Giants by eight wickets in their second, which means they are the only side to remain unbeaten this year after playing two games. They would be looking to continue this run but face a significant challenge on Thursday in the form of the Delhi Capitals.

The star names have fired for both teams in their respective previous games, with Shafali Verma and Meg Lanning striking half-centuries against Warriorz while Smriti Mandhana, S Meghana and Ellyse Perry got amongst the runs against Gujarat Giants. Concerns, if any, will be Sophie Devine's recent form as she fell for single digit scores in the last two games and hasn't really been in the best touch with the bat barring the 70 she scored in the ODI against Pakistan in December. RCB made no changes to their playing eleven in their previous match and are expected to do the same, unless there are any last-minute injuries. The same can be said for Lanning's DC.
