The prodigious bowling performance from Shreyanka Patil, Sophie Molineux and Sobhana Asha dismantled Delhi Capitals’s top-notch batting attack, returning with the figures of 4-12 (3.3), 3-20 (4) and 2-14 (4) respectively.
Chasing an average target of (114) runs, Royal Challengers Bangalore Women applied a cautious approach with Smriti Mandhana and Sophie Devine firing (31) and (32) respectively to set the tone for team’s win. However, both openers departed after providing the team with a great start.
