Match Preview
The seventh clash of the Women’s Premier League 2024 will feature Royal Challengers Bangalore locking horns with Delhi Capitals Women. The match will take place at Royal Challengers’ home ground M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru. Challengers have had a disappointing season last year, but made a stronger comeback this year, with having won two back-to-back matches.
On the other hand, Delhi Capitals had a fantastic season last year, as they finished as runners-up. However, they kicked off their campaign on a disappointing note as they lost the 2023 finale re-match with the reigning champions, Mumbai Indians Women.
Pitch Report
The M. Chinnaswamy Stadium is known as the batters’ paradise and is expected to provide the batters with the same favourable conditions to hit big. The stadium is set to host the first 13 games of the WPL 2024; thus, several high-scoring battles are expected to be fought. The pitch remains almost the same throughout the 40 overs, with dew playing a crucial role in the evening. Needless to say, it provides the chasing team with some advantage.
