On the other hand, Delhi Capitals Women encountered a batting collapse as they struggled to forge partnerships and capitalize on their initial momentum. Despite promising starts from the likes of Meg Lanning and Shefali Verma, Delhi Capitals Women lost wickets at regular intervals, failing to set a challenging target for their opponents.

RCB Women’s Bowling Brilliance

RCB Women’s bowlers showcased exceptional skill and precision, spearheaded by Sophie Molineux, Shreyanka Patil, and Sobhana Asha. The bowling unit exerted relentless pressure on the Delhi Capitals Women’s batting lineup, consistently picking up crucial wickets to stifle their opponents’ scoring rate and restrict them to a modest total.

In a tale of heartbreak for Delhi Capitals Women, they suffered their second consecutive loss in the WPL final. Despite their commendable performances throughout the season, Delhi Capitals Women faltered at the final hurdle, missing out on clinching the coveted title once again.
