Delhi Capitals take on Royal Challengers Bangalore in WPL 2024 finals

Delhi Capitals led by Meg Lanning aim to win their first Women's Premier League title against Royal Challengers Bangalore.

In-form Delhi Capitals, led by the inspirational Meg Lanning, would hope to be second-time lucky and lift their maiden Women's Premier League title when they take on the Royal Challengers Bangalore in the summit clash in New Delhi on March 17.

After missing out on the title in WPL's inaugural edition last year, losing by seven wickets to Mumbai Indians in the final, DC looked like a rejuvenated side this year.

DC have been in superb form this year, topping the five-team league standings with 12 points from eight matches.

Meg Lanning has led DC from the front, scoring 308 runs from eight innings, while South African all-rounder Marizanne Kapp and Australian left-arm spinner Jess Jonassen are the highest wicket-takers for the side with 11 scalps each.

DC's only two defeats this season came against Mumbai Indians UP Warriorz. Leaving aside those two matches, they have enjoyed a near-perfect campaign.

Going into the final, they start as favourites, having never lost to RCB in four meetings. However, past results will hardly have any significance in the final. It will be a new day and the side which can withstand pressure and expectations will lift the title.
