Delhi Capitals Women 

Delhi Capitals have remained one of the most consistent sides since the start of the tournament. They have lost only two games while winning six matches, which allowed them to secure direct qualification for the finals of the Women’s Premier League 2024. 

This is the second consecutive year they will be playing in the tournament final, having reached the final last year as well, although they lost to the Mumbai Indians Women. This time, they are eager to secure victory.  

Meg Lanning and Shafali Verma have proven to be the driving force of the team, consistently delivering brilliant starts for Delhi Capitals. In the middle order, players like Jemimah Rodrigues and Alice Capsey have ensured a steady flow of runs, leaving no shortage on the scoreboard.  

Radha Yadav, Minnu Mani, and Arundhati Reddy have been firing on all cylinders in the bowling department, and we anticipate another stellar performance from them in the final face-off against the Royal Challengers Bangalore Women.

On the other hand, the Royal Challengers Bangalore Women wrapped up the league stage in third place, notching four wins out of eight games. They then pulled off a nail-biting win over the Mumbai Indians Women in the eliminator to book their spot in the final. 

Winning the toss, Smriti Mandhana opted for a batting start, a decision that didn't quite work out as they managed only 135 runs in their 20 overs, despite Ellyse Perry's fifty. Mumbai, chasing, narrowly missed the mark, finishing at 130, handing Smriti's team a five-run victory. 

Royal Challengers Bangalore Women's bowling unit has been in fine form lately, with standout contributions from players like Ellyse Perry, Georgia Wareham, Shreyanka Patil, and Sophie Molineux. 

An area of concern for the team is the lack of runs from their top order, particularly from captain Smriti Mandhana and Sophie Devine, who had a quiet outing in the last game. However, they will be eager to bounce back in the upcoming match, supported by a promising middle order that has performed well thus far.
