New Delhi: After defending champions Mumbai were knocked out of the final race, Women’s Premier League (WPL) will see a new champion on Sunday at the Arun Jaitley Stadium when Delhi Capitals take on Royal Challengers Bangalore in the final of the ongoing edition. After missing out on the title last season to Mumbai Indians in the summit clash, Delhi Capitals looked a rejuvenated side this year. Not only they had a super run so far in WPL 2024, Delhi Capitals also topped the table after league stages with 12 points from eight matches. Their only two losses came against Mumbai Indians and UP Warriorz.
On the other hand, Smriti Mandhana showed immense improvement as a captain as compared to last year. Aimed at bettering their last season’s fourth-place finish, RCB settled for the third spot after the league stage this season before overcoming a Mumbai Indians hurdle in the Eliminator. If Ellyse Perry showed why she is considered as the best all-rounder at this moment in world cricket, Indian wicketkeeper Richa Ghosh came out all guns blazing whenever she came out to bat.
Perry, for the record is the highest run-getter with 312 runs, and also took seven wickets so far. In fact, Perry’s 6/15 against Mumbai Indians in a league game was the best in WPL’s history. For Delhi Capitals, Lanning has led from the front, scoring 308 runs from eight innings. South African all-rounder Marizanne Kapp and Australian left-arm spinner Jess Jonassen are the highest wicket-takers for the side with 11 scalps each.
Going into the final, they will definitely start as favourites, having never lost to RCB in four meetings.
