Background
It promises to be another thrilling clash at the Women's Premier League (WPL) 2024 on Sunday (March 10) as Delhi Capitals (DC) host Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB). While Delhi are placed second on the points table with 4 wins in 6 matches, RCB are not too far behind and find themselves at the third place with 3 wins in 6 matches. A win here for Bangalore would mean they would get level on points with Delhi. On the other hand, a victory for Delhi would take them par with Mumbai Indians (MI) on points who are sitting at the top with 10 points.
As things stand, one win could perhaps be enough for Delhi to enter The Playoffs. However, given the way they have played, they would ideally want to secure a place in the final than play the Eliminator. That would be ensured if they end up with a top-place finish. RCB, meanwhile, are also in the race for a top finish but one or two losses and they could find themselves out of Playoffs, so it's a tricky situation this for the Bangalore side.
All in all, the stage looks set for an entertaining game of cricket which will come your way live from the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi where the wicket is expected to be on the slow and low kind. Brace yourselves then for an exciting clash.
