After facing defeat in the inaugural edition of the Women’s Premier League (WPL) final against the Mumbai Indians, the Delhi Capitals are poised for redemption this season.
Finishing atop the points table at the end of the group stage fixtures, they have displayed resilience and determination. Now, as they gear up to face the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the final showdown, the Delhi Capitals have a golden opportunity to rewrite their narrative and clinch the coveted title. With their eyes set on victory, they aim to seize this chance at redemption, showcasing their prowess and leaving no stone unturned in their quest for glory.
Meg Lanning, the former Australian skipper is one of the most prolific run scorers in the short history of the tournament. Having amassed over 600 runs across both seasons, she has been a stumbling block for every opposition. As the opener for the Delhi Capitals this season, She has scored 308 runs for her side and has averaged nearly 40 with the bat. She has been one of the most crucial batters for Delhi this season as she is the side’s highest run score in this edition as well. Apart from that she is just 4 runs shy of her Australian counterpart in the orange cap race.
Jess Jonassen, the Australian all-rounder has proven her weight in gold with the bat as well as the ball this season. She has played some crucial cameos in the death overs, scoring some invaluable runs for her side. She has played a crucial role with the ball as she is not only Delhi’s but the tournament’s joint-highest wicket-taker (11) in this edition of the WPL. She has bowled with great control keeping the opposition’s scoring rate under check. Her all-round capabilities will be crucial if Delhi Capitals are to get the better of RCB.
Marizanne Kapp, the South African all-rounder has been one of the most impressive new-ball bowlers this season. She is the current purple cap holder having accounted for 11 scalps this season. She has bowled with an economy of just over 6 and has played a vital role in getting her team to a great start with the ball. Moving the ball off the pitch as well as in the air, she has been a force to reckon with for the opposition batters. She has also contributed with crucial runs in the middle order. Her contributions in the all-important final could play a telling role in who would be celebrating at the end of tonight.
