WPL 2025: Bowlers Did A Great Job In Restricting DC To Below 150, Says Smriti Mandhana
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: After defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) completed a dominating eight-wicket thrashing of Delhi Capitals to go on top of the Women's Premier League (WPL) 2025 points table, skipper Smriti Mandhana lauded the bowlers for doing a great job in restricting their opponents to below 150.
At the Kotambi Stadium on Monday, pacer Renuka Singh Thakur and leg-spinner Georgia Wareham picked three wickets each in an impressive bowling performance from RCB as they bowled out DC for 141. The duo got good support from Kim Garth and Ekta Bisht, who picked two wickets each.
In reply, led by Smriti’s scintillating 81, her highest WPL score, RCB completed the chase with 22 balls to spare. “Very pleased. The bowlers did a great job restricting DC to below 150. In fielding we saved 15-20 runs. And then Danni was great. The strategy was to bowl more pace. Depending on the conditions.”
