Toss and team news coming in just a bit. STAY TUNED!
While RCB are at the top of the table with 2 wins from 2 matches, DC find themselves at the third place with 1 win from 2 matches.
Hello and Welcome to our live coverage of match number 7 of WPL 2024 set to be played between RCB and DC at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore.
Background
WPL 2024, RCB vs DC LIVE SCORE: Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) are all set to lock horns on Delhi Capitals (DC) in match number 7 of Women's Premier League (WPL) 2024 at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore on Thursday (February 29). While Bangalore have got off to a solid start in this edition of the tournament, in sharp contrast to the previous edition where they had started with a string of low scores and managed to win each of their twin matches so far, Delhi might have faced a last-ball defeat to Mumbai in their opener but registered a comprehensive win over UP Warriorz in their very next fixture.
The marquee players of both the teams roared into form in the side's respective previous fixtures with Shafali Verma and Meg Lanning both scoring quick half-centuries. On the hand, Bangalore too would be pleased with the way Smriti Mandhana, S Meghana and Ellyse Perry have been amongst the runs. However, the form of Sophie Devine could be a cause of concern as she has now recorded two back-to-back low scores.
All eyes would be on the combination that the team would like to go into, heading into this fixture. While Bangalore might look to keep the winning combination intact, if not for a last-minute injury, Delhi have played with the same team in their first two matches and are unlikely to make changes to their side either.
All in all, this looks set for a great game of cricket between two strong teams. All symptoms of an interesting match coming our way.
Probable Playing 11s:
RCB: Smriti Mandhana (captain), Sophie Devine, S Meghana, Ellyse Perry, Richa Ghosh (wicketkeeper), Sophie Molineux, Georgia Wareham, Shreyanka Patil, Simran Bahadur, S Asha, Renuka Thakur
DC: Meg Lanning (captain), Shafali Verma, Alice Capsey, Jemimah Rodrigues, Marizanne Kapp, Annabel Sutherland, Arundhati Reddy, Minnu Mani, Taniya Bhatia (wicketkeepe), Radha Yadav, Shikha Pandey
