RCBW vs DCW Match Prediction & Analysis
After a winning start to the season, RCB Women lost the plot. Their batting was hanging by a small thread and it finally collapsed in the last match. Now the defending champions will take on an in-form DC Women in search of a win.
Delhi Capitals are moving from strength to strength this season. Theyβve bounced back brilliantly after their loss to RCB early in the season. DC bowlers have been exceptional in recent outings and will pose a threat to the struggling batting order of RCB Women.
The top 3 of the RCB batting lineup are crucial to their success. With skipper Smriti Mandhana out of form, Ellyse Perry has been the sole figure in this lineup leading the fight for RCB.
TEAMS PREVIEW
Royal Challengers Bangalore Preview
Royal Challengers Bangalore Women are desperately looking to get back to winning ways. Theyβve beaten DC once in this tournament and should be hoping to repeat the same.
However, this time, they find themselves on the back foot as they lock horns with a resurgent DC. Smriti Mandhanaβs poor run of form continues to hurt the team while the inconsistencies of the middle-order batters are also a major concern for RCB going ahead.
Ellyse Perry and Daniel Wyatt-Hodge are the key batters in the top order to watch out for. These two have shown great promise and delivered some impressive knocks in recent matches.
But the constant pressure of delivering in every game without any support from others around them has taken a toll on them. Kanika Ahuja and Richa Ghosh need to step up and deliver bigger knocks to take RCB to a competitive score.
Delhi Capitals Preview
Delhi Capitals Women are on a roll with back-to-back wins. Their bowlers have been the driving force behind their recent comeback. They restricted MI to 123 in the last match and chased down the target with 9 wickets in hand.
In the previous outing, the bowlers did the same as the Giants ended up with 127 for 9 batting first and the Capitals chased it down comfortably. Shikha Pandey, Marizzane Kapp, and Annabel Sutherland are the key wicket-takers to watch out for in this squad.
There is great variety in this bowling attack and Jess Jonassen and Titas Sidhu are also quality bowling options. Skipper Meg Lanning will be happy with her teamβs efforts in recent matches and her return to form in the last game.
She scored a fifty after a couple of disappointing knocks at the top. She was also supported by Shafali Sharma at the top and with both the openers finding their rhythm, DC Women now look quite threatening.
Weather Conditions
It will be mostly cloudy in Bengaluru with a high of 28 degrees Celsius. We donβt expect any rain interruptions on the match day.
RCBW vs DCW Pitch Report
It is a great wicket for batting and though there have been a few disappointing performances in the first innings of the last few games, there is still plenty of help for the batters on this pitch. The average 1st inning score in the last 10 T20 matches is 151 runs. However, for a match-winning score, we reckon, the team batting first should aim for something over 170 runs.
Toss: To Bowl
Teams bowling first have won the last 5 consecutive matches at this venue in WPL. Chasing has always been the popular choice at this venue in Bengaluru and the recent results indicate that bowling will be the preferred choice in this match as well.
