On Sunday, March 10, Delhi Capitals will face Royal Challengers Bangalore in Match 17 of the Women’s Premier League 2024 (WPL 2024) at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, New Delhi. The Capitals have won four and lost two from their six fixtures with RCB winning three and losing three. RCB are still looking for their first victory over Delhi Capitals.
Delhi Capitals have had a memorable campaign so far as they are currently leading the table with four wins and two losses in six games. After losing to Mumbai Indians in the tournament opener, the Capitals went on to win all four games until losing a close contest in their last game against UP Warriorz by just one run.
The team is performing nearly flawless cricket, with players putting their hands up. Different players have put their hands up in different games, making Delhi a complete team. However, their batting collapse in the previous game against UP has now given the opposition teams an area to target for the Delhi Capitals. The batting lineup has been very dependent on their skipper Meg Lanning.
On the other hand, Royal Challengers Bangalore have done decently in WPL 2024 edition, having won three games and suffering three losses out of the six games they have played. The Bengaluru-based team are coming off a defeat against the Gujarat Giants. RCB were alive in the run chase but fell short by 19 runs against the Giants.
RCB have played the last two games without any changes to their playing XI. A change in the batting order ensured that they had enough batting depth but they failed to chase 200 against the Giants. With the ball, Renuka Singh has picked up just two wickets in this season so far. Skipper Smriti Mandhana will hope her strike bowlers strike form in the next match.

WPL 2024, Match 17, Delhi Capitals vs Royal Challengers Bangalore – Key Players
Delhi Capitals
- Jess Jonassen- The Australian left-arm spinner has taken ten wickets so far in this WPL 2024 and will get a turn and bounce once again from the pitch in this match. She has been brilliant with the ball this season and could be one of the key bowlers for DC against RCB.
- Radha Yadav- The slow left-arm orthodox bowler has been in fine form across this tournament and dismissed Grace Harris and Poonam Khemnar in the last game. On the pitch where spinners may get some assistance, Radha could play a key role for Delhi Capitals.
Royal Challengers Bangalore
- Sophie Molineux – The spinner varies her release points and her pace well which means she is always keeping the batters guessing and is a regular wicket-taker. She has stepped up in the crucial situation for RCB and has made notable contributions to RCB’s victories so far.
- Smriti Mandhana– She has been in decent form so far and has hit 74 against the Delhi Capitals’ attack in the last head-to-head. Her contribution at the top of the order plays a vital role for RCB. Mandhana could be one of the best players for Bangalore against DC.
