RCB. hopes to start on the right foot
Royal Challengers Bangalore can’t drop anymore in the standings. The Delhi Capitals are now riding a wave of success and have evolved into a fearsome adversary. At the beginning of the second half of the Women’s Premier League season, the Royal Challengers would like to make a clean slate for themselves.
The Capitals’ Shefali Verma and Meg Lanning made their debut as a powerful opening tandem in the most recent game between the two teams. Laura Harris got the start for the Capitals against the Gujarat Giants, but because the Giants won by 10 wickets, she didn’t get a chance to bat. Harris started in place of Alice Capsey, but she didn’t get to bat. The squad has a lot of bowlers available, including Minnu Mani, who contributed to the Giants, so they do not need to worry about losing.
Yet, the Royal Challengers’ 8.91 run-per-over power play in the WPL is only second to the Capitals’ 9.79 run-per-over power play. The Capitals’ power play is the best in the league. But, their middle and lower middle classes have been unable to build on the foundation laid by their earlier achievements. Sophie Devine has joined Ellyse Perry in the scoring rankings as the season has gone thanks to the fact that she has found her stride at the top of the lineup.
Some key individuals to watch
Laura Harris
In T20s she is one of the cleanest strikers of the ball. Her strike rate of 157.01 across 83 innings in the Women’s Big Bash League is the best among those players who batted in at least ten innings throughout the competition. This accomplishment was achieved in the context of the competition. Her inclusion in the starting XI helps strengthen the lower middle order for the Caps.
Smriti Mandhana
Thus far, her life has been a nightmare. She has been out in each of the four innings, three of them to offspring. It will be her first time back at DY Patil Stadium since her 79-run performance helped India level the second T20I against Australia and ultimately win in a Super Over. May she expect to see a change in her physical condition as a result of that?

Quotes
What a pleasure it was to witness her success. Throughout the competition, she has been feeling a bit sad. The game is what it is, and I don’t think she bowled poorly. She’s always pushing herself to her limits and is quite critical of her performance.
A word from Meg Lanning on Marizanne Kapp, a member of the Delhi Capitals with whom she plays:
It’s challenging to lose four straight games in a new competition. The nicest part of team sports is getting to know each other and being able to support each other when the game is over.After Royal Challengers Bangalore’s last loss, Ellyse Perry commented.
