RCB came into the final with momentum on their side as they finished at the top of the points table to secure direct entry. The 2024 champions have almost everything going their way. Their opening pair of Grace Harris and Smriti Mandhana is in supreme form and is adding runs in the powerplay at a brisk pace. Richa Ghosh, Nadine de Klerk and Georgia Voll are all contributing with the bat in the middle order.
In bowling, Lauren Bell and Sayali Satghare are delivering economical spells while taking wickets at regular intervals. In spin, Shreyanka Patil is once again leading the charge, making RCB a complete side and favourites to win their second WPL title.
DC team news
Delhi Capitals once again find themselves in familiar territory, chasing the WPL trophy in the final after another top-three finish and a win in the eliminator against Gujarat Giants. Their campaign has been uneven, but the bowling attack remains their backbone.
Pacer Nandani Sharma has excelled at the death, well supported by left-arm spinner Shree Charani and the experience of Marizanne Kapp. With the bat, Laura Wolvaardt and Lizelle Lee have provided consistency, while skipper Jemimah Rodrigues regaining form offers timely encouragement.
