Delhi Capitals will face Royal Challengers Bangalore in the finals of WPL 2024 to be played in New Delhi on 17th March. It promises to be an exciting encounter as there will be a new champion in this year’s competition.
Under the captaincy of Meg Lanning, Delhi Capitals qualified directly for the finals after defeating Gujarat Giants by 7 wickets in a one-sided contest. They have performed brilliantly so far, winning 6 matches, and losing just 2.
On the other hand, RCB would be high on confidence as they defeated Mumbai Indians in a low-scoring thriller. Ellyse Perry’s brilliance and cameo by Wareham helped RCB post 135 for 6 in 20 overs. The RCB bowlers did a grand job especially Shreyanka Patil, Sobhana Asha, Sophie Molineux, and Wareham stifled the MI batting unit.
