RCBW vs DCW WPL 2023 Highlights: Delhi beat Bangalore by 6 wickets

And Delhi have once again beaten the Bangalore side in the WPL 2023. A win from Bangalore is escaping like anything. They pushed Delhi to its limit but fell marginally short. 

RCBW need 9 off the final over as Bangalore are pushing them to limits.

16 needed off the final 2 overs as this is going down the wire.

Its 29 needed off the final four overs and DCW will fancy their chances with Kapp and Jonassen in the middle. This game is still alive

Asha has got the big wicket of Rodrigues. The Indian was going well and was partnering with Kapp to take Delhi home. But she is caught behind by Richa as Delhi lose their 4th wicket.

DCW are 90/3 after 12 overs. Jemimah and Kapp are out in the middle and they would need atleast one of them to go well. 61 needed from 48 balls.

Body blow for DCW as Meg Lanning walks back. She played a false stroke to long off. She did not time it well and the fielder takes a sitter at the boundary. DCW 3 down for 70 in 8.4 overs.

Preeti has taken the wicket of Alice Capsey, who was going big. That was well taken by Perry at the deep mid-wicket boundary. DCW lose 2nd and RCBW can sense something here.

Schutt has produced a brilliant swinging ball here. This came into the batter a long way as it cleaned Shafali to give RCB a great start.

Bangalore get something to bowl at. Ellyse Perry and Richa Ghosh provided a much-needed impetus to the struggling RCB batting to bring them here. They were reeling down at 50/2 after 10 overs and Perry was also finding it difficult to get going. But once she found Richa as her partner, the duo went blazing behind the RCBW bowlers. Richa got out in the 19th over which might have reduced a few runs. It would be interesting to see that will their bowlers do something here to provide them a first win.

It's wicket number 3 for Shikha. She has got the dangerous-looking Richa by a feather edge carrying to the keeper.

Now, RCB are going all guns blazing. 67 runs from the last four overs from 14-18 and they are now set for something like 160. Great batting by Perry and Richa. Perry has gone past 50.

Perry and Richa are trying to up the ante now. They are looking for runs and would need them in plenty as this middle phase totally belonged to DCW. Bangalore at 97/3 after 16 overs. 

Bangalore have lost another one as three wickets are now down with not many on the board. Norris gets her first wicket as she gets Knight. The England captain wanted to scoop it but Shikha at fine leg takes a wonderful diving catch.

Shikha has bowled the other RCB opener as Devine is gutted. RCB are 2 down and don't have much on the board.

It's time-out after 8 overs as DCW have pulled RCBW back in the contest. RCBW are at 38/1 after 8 overs and are not able to go at a faster rate. Middle phase holds the key for a big finish now.

And Shikha Pandey has got the wicket of the RCB captain Mandhana. This was on a good length around legs as Mandhana wanted to clear the mid wicket. She cannot much much of power as Jemimah standing near deep mid-wicket holds on an easy one.

Meanwhile, Devine is going after the bowlers and has made an expressive start, while Mandhana is also looking for scoring options in this opening period.

The RCBW openers look for a solid start but Mandhana has played a maiden in the first over of Kapp.

So, both the teams are going in with a few changes. Two changes for DCW, while RCBW have made three changes.

Smriti Mandhana(c), Sophie Devine, Ellyse Perry, Heather Knight, Richa Ghosh(w), Shreyanka Patil, Disha Kasat, Megan Schutt, Asha Shobana, Renuka Thakur Singh, Preeti Bose

Meg Lanning(c), Shafali Verma, Alice Capsey, Jemimah Rodrigues, Marizanne Kapp, Taniya Bhatia(w), Jess Jonassen, Arundhati Reddy, Radha Yadav, Shikha Pandey, Tara Norris
