but wpl

Royal Challengers Bangalore: At 64/0 in seven overs, Delhi Capitals had a dream start to their WPL 2024 final against the Royal Challengers Bangalore. Shafali Verma was the main aggressor in the opening partnership, treating the crowd to delightful straight sixes, with Meg Lanning being the second fiddle.

But from there, the script flipped as left-arm spinner Sophie Molineux made a triple strike in the eighth over and off-spinner Shreyanka Patil took four scalps to derail DC’s batting innings and pave the way for spinning RCB to their maiden WPL title.

In a bid to clear longer boundary, Shafali slog-swept straight to deep mid-wicket to an around the wicket delivery from Sophie. The left-arm spinner then had a sweeping Jemimah Rodrigues castled via flight for a two-ball duck, and Alice Capsey was cleaned up while shaping up for a lap shot against a straighter delivery to fall for a golden duck.
