🏏WPL 2026: Match 15: RCB W vs DC W at Vadodara on 24/01/26🏏 - Page 4

Timeout! This is a sedate start from RCB. They are going at under 7 rpo and more importantly there's no fluidity to their innings. Delhi Capitals have been good with the ball and have to keep going if they are to restrict RCB to a chaseable total.

Minnu Mani, right-arm off break, comes into the attack

Captain out!

Minnu Mani to Smriti, out Caught by Niki Prasad!! Minnu Mani strikes with her second ball! It is the off-spin that brings about Smriti's down fall. Smriti c Niki Prasad b Minnu Mani 38(34) [4s-6 6s-1]

Will RCB’s stride be broken by DC?

Rahul: on Vadodara pitch, extras will play an important role

Two of the lowest RCB’s powerplay scores (37/1 & 39/1) this season have come against DC-W.

Of the 29 bowlers to have bowled at least 10 overs in the WPL powerplay phase, Marizanne Kapp’s economy rate (5.25) is only bettered by Sophie Ecclestone (5.03) and Lauren Bell (5.21).

Squeeze on: Delhi Capitals have kept a lid on the scoring and were rewarded with the wicket of Smriti, RCB need a move on, which opens the door for couple more wickets in this phase.

Shree Charani to Gautami Naik, out Bowled!! Cleaned up! Wickets in successive overs for Delhi Capitals. Gautami goes cheaply. She had to get on with things as the run-rate was around 6. So, she steps down the wicket and yorks herself, the ball sneaks under her bat and hits the base of off-stump. Charani is very accurate with her line and she does not miss the target. Gautami Naik b Shree Charani 3(7)

riddhima : "mandhana and her getting out to her off-spin :" 13 out of 28 times is the message on air, presumably in WPL.

Marizanne Kapp to Georgia Voll, out Bowled!! Another one gone! Jemi is pumped. Full credit to her for bringing Kapp back. But this is a poor shot. This is not a ground to play across the line. RCB have gone from 62/1 to 69/4. Delhi Capitals right on top. Good length ball, hint of inward nip, Voll sits down and attempts a cross-batted shot, gets an under-edge and the ball crashes into middle-stump. This was Kapp's last over and Voll should have played her out. Replays show there was no under-edge, the ball went past everything and crashed into the stumps. Georgia Voll b Marizanne Kapp 11(14)
