A dominant victory over Mumbai Indians (MI) was exactly what Delhi Capitals (DC) needed to recharge ahead of their next challenge.

RCB, on the other hand, have struggled at home, losing their last three matches at the Chinnaswamy. Their defeat to Gujarat Giants, where they were limited to 125 for 7, hit them the hardest, as captain Smriti Mandhana admitted post-match. Heading into this clash, several concerns loom over them: Is their batting overly reliant on Ellyse Perry? Are they feeling the absence of their spin trio—Asha Sobhana, Sophie Molineux, and Shreyanka Patil—who were key at this venue last season? Is Mandhana’s inconsistent form weighing the team down? RCB will need to find solutions quickly and give their home fans something to cheer for one last time before the tournament shifts to Lucknow.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru Women vs Delhi Capitals Women: Players To Watch Out For

Minnu Mani (Royal Challengers Bengaluru Women)

Minnu Mani put in a wholehearted effort against MI, both with the ball and in the field. After a quiet 12th over, she delivered a game-changing 17th, dismissing S Sajana and Amelia Kerr in quick succession. She returned in the 19th to remove Sansriti Gupta, finishing with impressive figures of 3 for 17 from three overs on a sluggish pitch.

Her athleticism was on full display in the 13th over when she pulled off a stunning one-handed stop to her right, preventing a boundary—further proving why she’s among the best fielders in the tournament. Despite bowling only 14 overs across five matches and picking up five wickets, DC would benefit from utilizing her more, allowing her to complete her full quota—something she’s managed only twice this season.

Georgia Wareham (Delhi Capitals Women)

Georgia Wareham has made a strong comeback after conceding 50 runs in the season opener, taking nine wickets in five matches since. Against the Giants, she claimed two key scalps—Harleen Deol and top-scorer Ashleigh Gardner—though it came a little too late. Having previously batted at No. 3 for Australia, where she even notched a half-century, RCB could consider utilizing her as a middle-order floater if early wickets fall.
