Pre-Match Analysis:
Royal Challengers Bengaluru have been on the back foot ever since they landed at their home town, where they lost 3 matches in a row to push down to 3rd spot in the standings. Concerns started to mount as they weren’t consistent enough across departments to produce the miracles. In their latest fixture, they went down easily by 6 wickets at the hands of the Gujarat Giants on Thursday. They recorded their lowest score, making just 125 for 7, and ended up losing eventually with 21 balls to spare. Batting mishap let them down as their mainstays Smriti Mandhana, Danielle Wyatt Hodge, and Ellyse Perry could only add 14 runs between them.
It’s going to be tough for them to regroup after enduring 3 losses in a row as they face the in-form Delhi Capitals.
Delhi Capitals are inching closer to the knockout berth. The last couple of results went in their favor as they beat the Gujarat Giants and Mumbai Indians by 6 wickets and 9 wickets, respectively, to jump to the pole position with 8 points. The bowlers should be hailed for their exceptional performances in keeping the run-flow under control that made life easier for the batters, who chased down the targets effortlessly. Jess Jonassen ( 9 wickets), Annabel Sutherland ( 8 wickets), and Shikha Pandey (7 wickets) have been top-notch in the competition so far. With the bat openers, Shafali Verma (180 runs) and Meg Lanning (169 runs) have been instrumental in their success. All in all, the side is in good shape and wants to end the Bengaluru phase on a winning note.
