Shafali Verma is the leading run-scorer for Delhi Capitals and has scored 180 runs at an average of 30.00. She has scored at least 23 runs in 5 of her 6 innings. She has an excellent record against RCB as well, scoring 201 runs at an average of 33.50 against them.
The Chinnaswamy Stadium isn’t the easiest venue for bowlers to bowl. Only two of the 7 matches played here this season have seen 14 or more wickets fall and we are therefore unlikely to see many wickets fall.
The Royal Challengers Bangalore will look to get back to winning ways as they take on the Delhi Capitals for the second time this season. They will face off against them on Saturday at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.
The two teams have faced each other in 6 matches to date. The Delhi Capitals have won 4 matches while the Royal Challengers have won 2.
This match between RCB-W and DC-W can be watched live on the JioHotstar App and Star Sports Network on the 1st of March 2025.
The defending champions started well, winning their first two matches, including against the Delhi Capitals in a reverse fixture. However, the team has lost 3 matches on the trot since then and has dropped down to the 3rd place on the points table.
The opening pair of Smriti Mandhana and Danni Wyatt-Hodge has been rather inconsistent this season. While they have scored individual half-centuries, they need to do better as a pair. In the middle order, Ellyse Perry has been the key batter for the team so far. She has scored 235 runs in 5 innings, including 3 half-centuries.
In addition to Perry, the middle order consists of Richa Ghosh, Raghvi Bist, and Kanika Ahuja. The team will need at least one of them to get to a big score. Coming to the bowling, Georgia Wareham and Renuka Singh have been excellent so far, picking up 9 wickets each and they are among the leading wicket-takers of the tournament.
They will be joined by Prema Rawat and Kim Garth.
The Delhi Capitals are the most consistent team this year, winning 4 of the 6 matches they have played so far. As a result, they are currently placed at the top of the points table. The team also enjoys the best NRR among all teams and if they win here, they will almost certainly go through to the next stage.
Meg Lanning and Shafali Verma make a strong opening pair. Lanning has been patient in her gameplay and has scored 2 half-centuries in her 6 innings. Shafali Verma has played some brisk innings and is the leading run-scorer for the team.
Sarah Bryce and Jemimah Rodrigues add heft to the batting. The Delhi Capitals’ biggest strength is the presence of three quality all-rounders, Annabel Sutherland, Marizanne Kapp, and Jess Jonassen. Jonassen has picked up 9 wickets and is the joint-highest wicket-taker of the tournament. She will be joined by Minnu Mani in the spin department.
The pace attack is pretty strong as well. Annabel Sutherland and Shikha Pandey have picked up 15 wickets between them. Titas Sadhu, who has joined the squad in the last two games, will lead the attack with the new ball.
The Capitals will hope to continue playing well and retain their spot at the top of the table.
6 of the last 10 WPL matches played here have been won while 3 were won while batting first. 1 ended in a tie. In each of the last 10 matches played here, the captain winning the toss has opted to field first and we expect that trend to continue.
The pitch at Bengaluru is usually good to bat on and we expect a similar surface for this match as well. The surface is flat, hard, and compact, offering excellent pace and bounce. The ball comes onto the bat and playing shots will be easy. The average first-inning score here is around 170. That said, there are some green patches and if the bowlers hit them, they might get some movement. The weather is likely to be humid and we may see some dew during the second half.
While both teams have seen some ups and downs this season, we feel that the Delhi Capitals have played better cricket compared to the Royal Challengers. They have performed well in all departments and are likely to prevail in this match.
Bet on the Delhi Capitals W to win.
