Royal Challengers Bengaluru registered a dominating 8-wicket win over Delhi Capitals in a repeat of last year’s finals played at Kotambi Stadium, Vadodara on 17th February 2025.

After opting to field first, RCB produced a dominating bowling performance bundling Delhi Capitals out for 141 in 19.3 overs. Apart from Jemimah Rodrigues and Lanning’s 59-run partnership, RCB bowlers did not allow any partnership to grow taking wickets at regular intervals.

Chasing down this modest target, Smriti Mandhana and Dani Wyatt put enough pressure on the DC bowlers putting on a century stand that ensured that RCB chased down the target with ease in 16.2 overs. Richa Ghosh finished off the job with six helping RCB consolidate its top spot.

Here we look at the Top 3 performers for RCB in dominating win over Delhi Capitals during match 4 of WPL 2025

1.      Renuka Singh

Renuka Singh stood out once again in yesterday’s match against Delhi Capitals. It was an ideal start for RCB as Singh got rid of dangerous Shafali Varma in the very first over with a simple catch to Mandhana at mid-off.

She bowled with great control not allowing Delhi Capitals batters to score runs easily. Renuka took an important wicket of Annabel Sutherland, denting their chances of posting a good total. The star pace bowler took the wicket of Shikha Pandey in her last over. Renuka ended with magical figures of 3 for 23 in 4 overs that made sure RCB restricted Delhi Capitals to a below-par total.

Renuka Singh had a great outing in the first match against Gujarat Giants with 2 for 25 in 4 overs. For her 3 for 23 in 4 overs, Renuka was named the player of the match award.

2.      Georgia Wareham

Australian spinner Georgia Wareham also contributed to the team’s success. She struck in her first over dismissing Jemimah Rodrigues with a quick stumping by Richa Ghosh. Rodrigues and Lanning added 59 runs for the 2nd wicket.

Georgia did not allow Delhi batters to score runs easily. She was at her lethal best during her spell keeping a choke on opponent batters. The leg-spinner struck twice in the same over dismissing Sarah Bryce and Radha Yadav. It was a disciplined bowling performance by Wareham after a disappointing outing in the first match against Gujarat Giants.

Wareham ended with figures of 3 for 25 making sure that RCB does not allow Delhi Capitals to score a big total.

3.      Smriti Mandhana

Chasing down 142 runs to win, RCB captain Smriti Mandhana led from the front with a captain’s knock. She showed intent right from the word go putting enough pressure on Delhi Capitals bowlers.

Mandhana timed the ball brilliantly keeping the scoreboard ticking along with Wyatt. After a superb first six overs, Mandhana continued to milk the bowlers and hit attacking shots. She scored fifty off just 27 deliveries, ensuring that RCB put on an excellent display.

The star RCB batter, could not finish the job dismissed caught at short fine leg by Arundhati Reddy. She scored 81 off 47 deliveries with 10 fours and 3 sixes. Mandhana and Wyatt put on 107 runs for the opening wicket.
