Delhi Capitals vs Royal Challengers Bangalore Match Analysis

Match 17 of the Women’s Premier League 2024 takes place on Sunday evening at the Arun Jaitley Stadium between the Delhi Capitals Women and the Royal Challengers Bangalore Women. In their six games, the Capitals have won four and lost two, while RCB has won three and lost three. The encounter on the 10th in Delhi starts at 19:30 local time.

In Friday’s Match 15, Delhi Capitals Women fell short of victory over UP Warriorz Women by only one run, despite being defeated for just the second time this season. They will be sure to win this match and go back to their winning ways.

Although they have only won once in their last four games, Royal Challengers Bangalore Women also enter this match following a setback. This season, Delhi Capitals Women have already defeated them by a margin of 25 runs, and a loss on Sunday seems certain.

Delhi Capitals vs Royal Challengers Bangalore Team Preview & Squads

Delhi Capitals

The South African all-rounder Marizanne Kapp was kept out of the starting lineup for Delhi Capitals Women’s close loss to UP Warriorz Women on Friday. However, Alice Capsey of England may get a rest going into this match.

Delhi Capitals Women will be hoping to recover quickly after their Friday loss to UP Warriorz Women, especially with captain Meg Lanning playing so well in the competition.  

The Australian opener leads all other players in the tournament with two half-centuries (4 total) going into this weekend, and her recent record in all forms is five half-centuries in seven innings! The fact that Alice Capsey and Shafali Verma are both playing well indicates that this Delhi XI has a lot of batting talent.    

Before Saturday’s games, Delhi Capitals Women are also among the top three wicket-takers in the tournament when it comes to the ball. This site is really powerful!

Royal Challengers Bangalore

There will be considerable consideration of making changes before this match after sticking with the same lineup before losing to Gujarat Giants Women in Match 13. But, they fielded their best lineup in the last match, and if there were no injuries, they might be able to stick with the same lineup.  

Being defeated by any team is disheartening, but for RCB Women, who would be eager to win this match right away, losing to Gujarat Giants Women is especially disappointing.  

To be fair, Gujarat faced a high order from the RCB, and they delivered it before they could muster a respectable effort to reach 200 runs to win. Following their dismissals on Wednesday for scores in the twenties, Sophie Devine, Ellyse Perry, and skipper Smriti Mandhana must all continue to perform in this match.

However, their bowling unit will be critical to their success in this encounter. The bowlers only took two wickets against Gujarat with three run-outs, so they will need to be much more dangerous in this match.

Delhi Capitals vs Royal Challengers Bangalore outfield report

Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi

Going into the match on Saturday, the side batting first has triumphed in each of the previous six games. Both teams in this encounter, in our opinion, will like to bat first.

This game will have cloud cover from beginning to end, with increasing humidity in the second half of play. Given that it’s in the low 20s, there’s no chance of rain.

We expect the bowlers to receive help from the surface once more with a par score of no more than 155, as teams have suddenly found it difficult to bat on this wicket.
