Royal Challenger Bangalore Women vs Delhi Capitals Women

Delhi Capitals beat Bangalore Challengers by 60 runs to win their first game of the campaign

Match Highlights, RCB-W vs DEL-W: RCB started off pretty well with Smriti and Sophie Devine both scoring some quick runs at the start of the chase but soon the partnership failed, as Sophie Devine was dismissed in the fifth over after scoring 14 runs from 11 balls. It felt like the RCB were on the right track in chasing the target. 

However, Delhi came back into the game with a couple of quick wickets. The target was high and it was quite a difficult task for Bangalore to cross the line. As the first two wickets fell, the RCB team was completely imbalanced. They started losing wickets at regular intervals.

Shikha Pandey also managed to pick up a wicket in her four-over spell.

Tara Norris finished her bowling with 5/29 in four overs. Alice Capsey was the other Delhi bowler who picked up two wickets and help Delhi to restrict Bangalore to 163/8 runs inside 20 overs.
