Delhi Capitals Women Playing 11 vs RCB Women- WPL 2024, Match 17

Delhi Capitals Women takes on RCB Women in the reverse fixture of WPL 2024 on Sunday, March 10. They are still unbeaten against RCB in WPL history. Delhi won both games last season and won the high-scoring encounter by 25 runs earlier this season.

Delhi Capitals after their loss in the campaign opener against Mumbai Indians women won their next four games. Their winning streak was ended by UP Warriorz who won against DC women by a narrow 1-run margin in a closely contested game.

Meg Lanning has led this Delhi side beautifully bringing the best out of every player. Her partnership with Shafali Varma has been rock solid up at the top. Jemimah Rodrigues came into her own in the last game. Senior veterans Marizanne Kapp, Jess Jonassen, and Shikha Pandey have been at their best as well.

This is Delhi’s third home game and they are looking to make it two out of three at their home ground. It will be interesting to see how they cope with the low bounce of the track against a different opposition.

Delhi capitulated after Lanning’s wicket at the score of 93 in the last game. From 93/3 in the 14th over Delhi Capitals were bowled out for 137 in the 20th over. RCB will be wary of DC’s potential batting collapse in the next game.
