WPL Final: RCB vs DC Rematch for Glory
4 Feb
Summary
- Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Delhi Capitals meet in the WPL final.
- RCB topped the league, earning a direct path to the final.
- Capitals overcame a slow start to reach the final for the fourth time.
The Women's Premier League final will feature a highly anticipated showdown between Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Delhi Capitals. This marks a repeat of a previous final, with RCB looking to secure silverware after Smriti Mandhana led them to victory in an earlier championship game. RCB enters this final having topped the league standings, a contrast to the previous season, and enjoyed a brief respite after their playoff qualification. The team had a week-long build-up and a three-day break in Goa to prepare for the summit clash.
Delhi Capitals, meanwhile, have navigated a more challenging path to the final. Despite finishing first in the league phase in prior seasons only to fall short in the final, Jemimah Rodrigues' squad may find this scenario familiar. After an initial struggle in the current campaign, the team has coalesced effectively in recent matches. Jemimah Rodrigues has been instrumental, showcasing strong batting form, including a crucial 41 off 23 balls in the Eliminator against Gujarat Giants. Key players like Lizelle Lee, Shafali Varma, and Laura Wolvaardt are also in excellent form for the Capitals.
