Despite a brilliant counter-attacking innings of 62 by Shafali Verma, supported by contributions from Niki Prasad and Sneh Rana, Delhi was ultimately restricted to 166.

Chasing the target, RCB experienced an early loss but found stability through a remarkable 142-run partnership between Smriti Mandhana and Georgia Voll. Mandhana's exceptional 96 and Voll's unbeaten 54 steered RCB to victory with 10 balls to spare, showcasing their dominance in the tournament.
