Delhi Capitals won the toss and decided to bat first in the final match. The team got a good start by opener Shefali Verma (44 runs) and captain Meg Lanning (23 runs) and both scored 64 runs for the first wicket. But after this, Delhi’s batsmen surrendered in front of Bangalore’s bowlers and were all-out for 113 runs without playing full 20 overs.
Australia’s left-arm spinner Sophie Molineau (3 wickets for 20 runs) started the process of collapsing Delhi Capitals’ batting order by taking three wickets in the eighth over. After this, the host team could not recover from these shocks and faltered in the final after losing wickets at regular intervals. Shreyanka Patil also had an important contribution in this, who took four wickets for 12 runs in 3.3 overs. Last year, in the first phase of the tournament, Delhi Capitals lost to Mumbai Indians in the final.
While chasing the target of Delhi Capitals, RCB made a slow start and won the title by scoring 115 runs for two wickets in 19.3 overs. Its batsmen were under a lot of pressure on the field in the team’s first final but were successful in dealing with it in the end. Richa Ghosh (17 not out, 14 balls, two fours) hit the winning four for the team. Mandhana played a slow inning of 31 runs in 39 balls and Sophie Devine contributed 32 runs in 27 balls with five fours and one six. Ellyse Perry remained unbeaten after scoring 35 runs. This is the first title for RCB in women’s (WPL) and men’s franchise cricket (Indian Premier League).
