WPL Season 2: Smriti Mandhana's 74 In Vain As Delhi Capitals Beat RCB By 25 Runs
Skipper Smriti Mandhana: Skipper Smriti Mandhana struck a brilliant 74 for Royal Challengers Bangalore but a fine all-round performance by Jess Jonassen (35*, 3-21) and good batting by Shafali Verma and Alice Capsey helped Delhi Capitals win by 25 runs in Match 7 of the Women's Premier League (WPL) 2024 at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium here on Thursday.
Mandhana hammered 74 off 43 balls, hitting 10 boundaries and three sixes as she kept Royal Challengers in the hunt, raising 77 runs for the opening wicket partnership with Sophie Devine (23 off 17 balls).
However, a middle and lower-order collapse in which they lost five batters -- Georgia Wareham (0), Nadine de Klerk (1), Simran Bahadur (2), Sophie Molineux (1) and Asha Sobhana (0) - got out for single-digit scores as Royal Challengers were restricted to 169/9 in 20 overs, chasing Delhi Capital's score of 194/5 in 20 overs, build on an 82-run partnership between Shafali Verma (50) and Capsey (46).
