Royal Challengers Bangalore secured an eight-wicket win to clinch their first-ever WPL title at Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi on Sunday, March 17.
After electing to bat first, Delhi Capitals looked in complete control of the game in the powerplay overs, scoring 61 runs. Meg Lanning (23) and Shafali Verma (44) were the standout batters initially.
However, other batters completely faltered as Shreyanka Patil shined with a four-wicket haul, conceding only 12 runs in 3.3 overs. Sophie Molineux claimed a three-fer while Asha Sobhana secured two wickets.
In response, Royal Challengers Bangalore started off on a sedate note with Smriti Mandhana (31) and Sophie Devine (32) scoring important runs. Ellyse Perry (35*) stood calm at the crease alongside Richa Ghosh (17*) as they sealed the deal in 19.3 overs with eight wickets in hand.
