WPL final highlights- RCB Vs DC

In a high-stakes final match, Meg Lanning's team fell short with a total of 113, unable to overcome the track's sluggish conditions. Despite earlier displays of batting prowess, they crumbled under pressure, with only three out of eleven batters reaching double digits and three failing to score at all. RCB, however, showcased a composed and strategic approach, relying on partnerships instead of aggressive hitting.

Mandhana and Sophie Devine laid a solid foundation with a 49-run opening stand, followed by crucial partnerships for the second and third wickets. Ultimately, Richa Ghosh sealed the victory with a boundary, setting off jubilant celebrations in the RCB camp.

Delhi's hopes dwindled rapidly as they succumbed to Bangalore's spinners. They managed only 113 runs before being bowled out in 18.3 overs. The trio of Shreyanka Patil, Sophie Molineux, and Asha Sobhana wreaked havoc, sharing nine wickets among them and ensuring a comprehensive victory for RCB.
