Vadodara: The stage is set for the final match of the fourth season of the Women’s Premier League (WPL). On Thursday, former champion RCB and last 3 season’s runner-up Delhi Capitals will clash for the title. RCB, which won its first title by winning the final against Delhi in 2024, has performed well this time too. The team has directly reached the finals by winning 6 out of 8 matches in the league stage. At the same time, despite initial poor performance, Delhi team reached the eliminator by winning 4 out of 8 matches. By defeating Gujarat Giants in the eliminator match, the team has achieved the feat of reaching the final for the fourth consecutive time.
united team performance
RCB, which became the first team to do so in WPL by winning 5 consecutive matches in the league stage, is not dependent on one or two players, but is performing unitedly. Captain Smriti Mandhana, Grace Harris and Richa Ghosh may have failed to perform consistently, but other players have led the team to victory. Nadine de Klerk, Sayali Satghare and Lauren Bell are the bowling weapons of the team. Shreyanka Patil has also helped the team in important matches.
On the other hand, Delhi team also has many experienced players. The team led by captain Jemimah Rodrigues has performed well in some matches, but at times most of the players have disappointed on important occasions. Lizelle Lee and Laura Wolvaardt are in good form, and Shefali Verma, Jemimah can also score big. Nandini Sharma, who took 16 wickets in 9 matches, Shri Charani, who took 14 wickets, along with Marizanne Kapp (10 wickets) and Sheinelle Henry (12 wickets) are the backbone of the bowling.
