WPL 2024 Final: 100 up for Delhi Capitals!
Delhi Capitals have raced to the mark of 100 runs in 15.5 overs. They must add another 20 to 25 runs at least in the remaining 17 balls if they wish to stand a chance in this game. This pitch has definitely slowed down but DC at least need 120 runs on the board to make a game out of it.

March17202420:35 (IST)
WPL 2024 Final: WICKET!
Another one bitest the dust and Royal Challengers Bangalore are doing a clinical job here with the ball. They are not letting Delhi Capitals batters settle.

WPL 2024 Final: 43 balls since last boundary
This would explain Delhi Capitals’ poor situation better that their last boundary came 43 balls back, more than 7 overs. This is a brilliant turnaround from RCB. DC scored 64 runs in first 7 overs and the next 6 overs saw them scoring only 16 runs. As per the pitch report, a score of over 140 would be a fighting total and that too looks tough for DC from this point.

DC vs RCB, WPL 2024 Final: OUT!
No relief for Delhi Capitals. Meg Lanning has been given out LBW but the batter has reviewed it. Shreyanka Patil boweld an off spin delivery that hit the front pad of Lanning. No bat involved confirms UltraEdge and ball tracking shows that it would have hit the middle stump. Lanning departs for 23 off 23 and DC are in all sorts of trouble.

DC vs RCB, WPL 2024 Final: Here’s what Mandhana said –
“We would have batted first as well, but I think it doesn’t really go well, we will have to bowl well, stick to our plans and play some good cricket. We’ve had a lot of ups and downs so far, but we need to be at our best tonight. This is the 4th match on the same wicket, the last game, it played slow. We’ve one change – Meghana comes in for Disha Karat.”

DC vs RCB, WPL 2024 Final: Here is what Meg Lanning said –
“We will bat tonight, feel that’s the best chance to win the game. The pitch looks good and we’ll have to bat well. What has happened before is irrelevant, we’re up against a great team and we need to play well. We’re going with the same team.”

WPL 2024 Final: Focus also on RCB bowlers
However if RCB were to stop DC, they would need efforts from their bowlers, especially the likes of Renuka Singh, Shreyanka Patil, Georgia Wareham etc. All in all it promises to be a cracker of a contest with the balance slightly tilted towards hosts DC.

WPL 2024 Final: All eyes on Ellyse Perry
All-rounder Ellyse Perry will be key to RCB’s success on Sunday as besides being the highest run-getter with 312 runs, the Australian has been impressive with the ball, scalping seven wickets. If not for Perry’s all-round show against MI on Friday, the result could have been different. She first played a vital 50-ball 66-run knock and then returned with figures of 1/29 to play a key role in RCB’s journey to the final. But Perry would look for more support from the likes of skipper Smriti Mandhana, Sophie Devine, Richa Ghosh and Sophie Molineux with the bat.

March17202418:33 (IST)
WPL 2024 Final: It’s RCB’s maiden final
RCB, on the other hand, finished third in the league phase after an inconsistent run that yielded eight points from as many games but they clicked when it mattered, knocking out defending champions MI by five runs in the eliminator in New Delhi on Friday.

DC vs RCB, WPL 2024 Final: A look at Delhi Capitals
DC will expect the explosive Shafali Verma to provide them with a quick start alongside Lanning. Jemimah Rodrigues has been in fine nick in the middle, but Lanning would expect more contributions from the likes of all-rounders Alice Capsey and Kapp. On the bowling front, Jonassen has been the star performer but the likes of Kapp and Shikha Pandey too have contributed. Left-arm spinner Radha Yadav has also been effective with 10 wickets and the home team will definitely depend a lot on its spinners in a relatively slow Kotla pitch.
