Delhi Capitals Women vs Royal Challengers Bangalore Women
Delhi Capitals Women (Match Odds – 1.62):
Preview:
After a humiliating defeat against the Mumbai Indians Women on Thursday, the Delhi Capitals Women bounced back with a 10-wicket victory over the Gujarat Giants. With three wins in four games, the Capitals are second on the points table and on track to advance to the next round.
The Delhi Capitals have one of the league’s best batting lineups, with both openers Meg Lanning and Shafali Verma in top form. Lanning and Verma are currently ranked first and second in the list of top run scorers this season. Jemimah Rodrigues is also in good form, but she has yet to turn her starts into big scores.
However, the team’s all-rounders, such as Marizanne Kapp, Jess Jonassen, and Alice Capsey, have struggled to score runs. The Capitals’ strategy of acquiring Tara Norris, an Associate Nation player, has worked well because they are the only team in the league that can field 5 overseas players in a match. Tara Norris, Marizanne Kapp, and Shikha Pandey have all bowled exceptionally well on Mumbai wickets, which are known to favour slower bowlers over seamers.
Marizanne Kapp hit a brilliant fifer against the Gujarat Giants, laying the groundwork for a big win. The spinners, on the other hand, have struggled to pick up wickets and will be hoping to improve their performances as the tournament progresses.
Full Squad:
Meg Lanning (c), Alice Capsey, Shikha Pandey, Jess Jonassen, Laura Harris, Radha Yadav, Minnu Mani, Taniya Bhatia, Poonam Yadav, Sneha Deepthi, Arundhati Reddy, Titas Sadhu, Jasia Akhter, Tara Norris, Aparna Mondal, Jemimah Rodrigues, Shafali Verma, Marizanne Kapp

Players to watch out for:
Meg Lanning
The Australian captain had her lowest score of the competition on Saturday, with 21 not out at the top of the order. She is one of the most consistent female cricketers.
Shafali Verma
The 19-year-old opener produced one of the tournament’s best innings on Saturday. She hit 76 not out from only 28 balls and is confident going into this match.
Marizanne Kapp
The South African all-rounder was unplayable against Gujarat Giants in her first overs. She took the first four wickets in the batting order before returning later in the innings to take one more.
Possible Playing XI:
Meg Lanning (c), Shafali Verma, Jemimah Rodrigues, Laura Harris, Marizanne Kapp, Jess Jonassen, Taniya Bhatia (wk), Shikha Pandey, Minnu Mani, Radha Yadav, Tara Norris
Royal Challengers Bangalore Women (Match Odds – 2.30):
Preview:
The Royal Challengers are the only team in the league without a win after the first round of the double round-robin tournament, and as a result, they are firmly placed at the bottom of the points table. With only three teams advancing to the next round, RCB will now have to treat each of its upcoming matches as a virtual knockout.
Smriti Mandhana and Ellyse Perry have done well so far, but neither has converted their starts into match-winning innings. The Royal Challengers’ main concern is the inability of their middle-order batters to get going.
They have tried players like Disha Kasat, Kanika Ahuja, and Richa Ghosh for the number four spot, but none of them have performed well. Heather Knight, who has a reputation for being a strong finisher, has fallen short of expectations. Sophie Devine hit a brilliant half-century against the Gujarat Giants, and the team will be hoping for a repeat performance here.
The Royal Challengers dropped Preeti Bose and Poonam Khemnar from their bowling lineup in the previous match. However, leaving out Megan Schutt, the squad’s most potent seamer, backfired, as the likes of Komal Zanzad, Sahana Pawar, and Renuka Singh were unable to defend a subpar target.
If the Royal Challengers are to survive, they must improve in all aspects of the game.
Full Squad:
Smriti Mandhana (c), Sophie Devine, Heather Knight, Megan Schutt, Kanika Ahuja, Erin Burns, Dane van Niekerk, Preeti Bose, Komal Zanzad, Disha Kasat, Indrani Roy, Shreyanka Patil, Asha Shobana, Poonam Khemnar, Sahana Pawar, Richa Ghosh, Ellyse Perry, Renuka Singh

Players to watch out for:
Sophie Devine
The seasoned New Zealand opener has scored over 100 runs in her last two tournament innings. She scored 14 points in the first game against the Delhi Capitals and will look to maintain her form in this game.
Ellyse Perry
The Australian all-rounder started each of her four innings, but it was only in the final game that she went on to score a half-century.
Shreyanka Patil
The off-spinner all-rounder took 2-32 against Gujarat Giants and will relish her first bowl at Brabourne Stadium.
Possible Playing XI:
Smriti Mandhana (c), Sophie Devine, Ellyse Perry, Kanika Ahuja, Heather Knight, Shreyanka Patil, Erin Burns, Richa Ghosh (wk), Komal Zanzad, Renuka Singh, Sahana Pawar
