RCB’s Sensational Victory in WPL 2024 Final, Thanks to Ellyse Perry and Shreyanka Patil’s Heroics

DC vs RCB Score, WPL 2024 Final: Despite Shefali Verma’s strong start (44), Delhi Capitals stumbled to 113 runs in the Women’s Premier League final, allowing RCB to stage a comeback. Shreyanka Patil was the standout bowler, taking four wickets, while Sophie Molineux claimed three and Aasha Shobhana took two wickets

Prior to this, Delhi Capitals’ captain Meg Lanning decided to bat first after winning the toss on Sunday at Delhi’s Arun Jaitley Stadium.

On the other hand, RCB has secured a place in the final by defeating defending champions Mumbai Indians in the Eliminator on Friday, thanks to a splendid batting performance by star all-rounder Ellyse Perry. Despite having some star names in women’s cricket and being at the top of the table and reaching the final directly, it won’t be an easy rollover for RCB against DC

Echoing with determination, RCB’s skipper Smriti Mandhana articulated

Feeling hasn’t still sunk in. Hard for me to come out with expressions. One thing I’ll say is I’m proud of the bunch. Our Bangalore leg was really good. We came to Delhi and had two tough losses. That’s what we spoke about that we need to step up at the right time. These tournaments are about peaking at the right time. Last year taught us a lot of things. What went wrong, what went right. Management just said this is your team, build it (your way). Thumbs up to them. For RCB, it’s a lot more. I’m not the only one who won the trophy, the team has won the trophy. I’m not the person to talk about what I feel. This is in top five maybe.Obviously a World Cup would top it. Have a message for the fans – the most loyal fanbase. One statement that always comes up is Ee Sala Cup Namde. Now it’s Ee Sala Cup Namdu. Kannada is not my first language but it was important to say it for the fans.

Player of the match

Sophie Molineux: Was a great match. Finals are always funny games. Delhi Capitals were a great team throughout the season. Preetty happy to get over the line. Felt I was bowling slow tonight. Had been bowling quick throughout the tournament – took the learnings from it. To be taken on by RCB after not playing cricket for a while was pretty special. To be a part of it was really cool.
