Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Delhi Capitals Women’s Premier League (WPL), who won their first match in the opposite manner, will have to continue their victory campaign when they are face to face here on Monday.
The current champion RCB defeated Gujarat giants by six wickets in the inaugural match of the tournament while Delhi Capitals won the final ball against Mumbai Indians. The good start will boost the morale of both the teams, but the RCB team seems more balanced in batting and bowling and so it will start as a strong contender for victory in this match.
The strength of RCB’s batting unit reveals that it achieved the target of more than 200 runs easily. Smriti Mandhana -led team will try to continue its performance.
RCB has gained strength due to young players like Raghavi Bisht and Kanika Ahuja, which has been easily mixed with Mandhana, Elis Perry, Richa Ghosh and Danny Wicts.
Raghavi and Kanika played a key role in the victory in the first match. RCB bowlers, however, will have to bowl tightly. Bowling is missing Perry. This Australian star all -rounder will not be able to bowl in the initial phase of the tournament due to injury.
Delhi’s batting is very strong and RCB bowlers will have to perform their best to curb them. Delhi’s batting unit consists of captain Meg Lanning, Annabel Sadherland, Shaifali Verma, Jemima Rodrigues, Alice Capsi and Sara Bryce batsmen who can blow any kind of attack.
Delhi -led Delhi bowling unit, led by fast bowler Shikha Pandey, performed well by stopping Mumbai Indians on 164 runs in the last match which he will try to continue.
