Here are the Highlights of Delhi Capitals vs Royal Challengers Bangalore, WPL 2024 Final -
- 22:43 (IST)WPL 2024 Final: What a win for RCB!DC did keep themselves in the game till the last over but one has to admit that RCB were in command of the chase throughout. They lost only two wickets and that kept them in the driving seat. Given that the target was also low, RCB never actually felt the pressure.
- 22:19 (IST)WPL 2024 Final: Mandhana is OUT!A breakthrough for Delhi Capitals but is it too late for them now? Smriti Mandhana wanted to go for a big shot but edged the ball high in the air. Arundhati Reddy ran couple of steps at mid-on and took the catch comfortably. Royal Challengers Bangalore Women need 32 runs in 30 balls.
- 21:41 (IST)WPL 2024 Final: SIX!A flighted delivery from Radha Yadav and Shophie Devine accepts the challenge. She jumped out of her crease and slammed the ball over Radha's head for a big six. What follows is another four from the bat of Devine and RCB are bossing this chase now. 18 runs came off the over. Royal Challengers Bangalore Women need 71 runs in 78 balls.
- 21:02 (IST)WPL 2024 Final: Delhi Capitals all out!Delhi Capitals have been bundled out at the score of 113. Shreyanka Patil took four wickets for 12 runs in 3.3 overs. The target for RCB is 114 runs. It's not a big ask for the side to claim its maiden title. A lot will depend on how they play the first powerplay, that is the first six over.
- 20:47 (IST)WPL 2024 Final: 100 up for Delhi Capitals!Delhi Capitals have raced to the mark of 100 runs in 15.5 overs. They must add another 20 to 25 runs at least in the remaining 17 balls if they wish to stand a chance in this game. This pitch has definitely slowed down but DC at least need 120 runs on the board to make a game out of it.
- 20:31 (IST)WPL 2024 Final: 43 balls since last boundaryThis would explain Delhi Capitals' poor situation better that their last boundary came 43 balls back, more than 7 overs. This is a brilliant turnaround from RCB. DC scored 64 runs in first 7 overs and the next 6 overs saw them scoring only 16 runs. As per the pitch report, a score of over 140 would be a fighting total and that too looks tough for DC from this point.
- 20:21 (IST)DC vs RCB, WPL 2024 Final: OUT!No relief for Delhi Capitals. Meg Lanning has been given out LBW but the batter has reviewed it. Shreyanka Patil boweld an off spin delivery that hit the front pad of Lanning. No bat involved confirms UltraEdge and ball tracking shows that it would have hit the middle stump. Lanning departs for 23 off 23 and DC are in all sorts of trouble.
- 20:11 (IST)DC vs RCB, WPL 2024 Final: Another WICKET!7.4 - Alice Capsey is also gone. There is the third wicket for Sophie Molineux and DC are all at sea by losing three wickets in only four balls of this over. RCB are bossing this game at the moment. What a turnaround for the bowling team this is!
- 20:01 (IST)
- 19:35 (IST)DC vs RCB, WPL 2024 Final: A run-out chance!There was a run-out chance and Lanning nearly got herself out. She nudged the ball towards gully fielder, took a couple steps forward and then tried to deny Shafali a single. The Indian batter was already cross the halfway mark and Lanning had to take the run. The throw came to Renuka Singh at non-striker's end but she failed to hit the stumps in time and Lanning was safe.
