In the WPL 2024, RCB wins its first title across leagues as Smriti Mandhana led RCB defeats the Delhi Capitals.
In the women premier league season 2024 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi on Sunday, Royal Challengers Bangalore broke years of jinx and won its first title across franchise leagues when it beat Delhi Capitals by eight wickets to claim the second season.
While chasing the target of 114, Smriti Mandhana led the Royal Challengers, who rode on valuable contributions from Sophie Devine and Ellyse Perry to cross the finish line in the last over.
Earlier, Shreyanka Patil was the wreaker-in-chief for RCB. She picked up four scalps and helped her team restrict DC to just 113 in 18.3 overs.
Sophie Molineux turned the match for the Royal Challengers by removing Shafali Verma, Jemimah Rodrigues, and Alice Capsey in a single over. The RCB spinner accounted for nine wickets, the most by any team in WPL history. The Bengaluru-based franchise is yet to win a title in the Indian Premier League.
