🏏WPL 2024: Match 7: RCB W vs Delhi Capitals W at Bengaluru on 29/02/2024 at 7:30 PM IST🏏
Today is a special day, which comes once every 4 years. 29th of February 2024.
With two successive victories, Royal Challengers Bangalore have put behind the horrors of the previous season to start WPL 2024 on the right note. But they will face a big challenge in the form of Delhi Capitals when the two teams face off in the seventh match of the second edition of the competition at the Chinnaswamy stadium.
Both sides enter this game on the back of comfortable victories, which was achieved by taking advantage of favourable conditions bowling first to restrict oppositions to below-par totals and then chase them with ease. Will they be able to replicate that if they happen to bat first? Past experiences will help, with Royal Challengers and the Capitals also having batted first earlier in this competition and putting up competitive scores, although they had contrasting results.
The big guns have fired for both teams in their respective previous games, with Shafali Verma and Meg Lanning striking half-centuries against Warriorz while Smriti Mandhana, S Meghana and Ellyse Perry got amongst the runs against Gujarat Giants. Concerns, if any, will be Sophie Devine's recent form as she fell for single digit scores in the last two games and hasn't really been in the best touch with the bat barring the 70 she scored in the ODI against Pakistan in December.
