🏏WPL 2023: DC Women vs RCB Women : Match 11🏏 - Page 3

Shafali Verma: The wicket was very good to bat on and I backed my strength. I enjoyed batting, yes, we did finish it before the timeout but we got some time to rest. We (herself and Lanning) just back each other and have spoken about what needs to be said when we are in the middle. If there were 5 more overs yesterday then who knows I would have scored a hundred. I am ready to bowl whenever the team needs me.

Today, I am supporting RCB. Smriti must play well today.

The last time DC played here Kapp just ran through Gujarat Giants and finished with 5 for 15. Lanning will be hoping her ace pacer does the same today. RCB have to be cautious during the first six over period and take it from there. Kapp is walking up to the top of her mark. Smriti will take strike. There's a slip in place.

Kapp to Mandhana, no run, maiden! Excellent start from Kapp. Angled across Smriti and gets some away movement as well,

Smriti is cautious against Kapp, so no runs in the first over.

Capsey to Devine, FOUR, Devine and RCB are away. Short and ample width, Devine cracks the cut square and beats a diving Radha near point.

RCBW 7/0 (2)

CRR: 3.5

Kapp to Mandhana, FOUR, lovely shot! That should get her going, hopefully. Fullish delivery around off, Smriti leans nicely into the drive and creams it through extra cover. The timing and placement were superb
