DC vs RCB 14th WPL Match- when and where to watch, venue, most likely playing XIs, full squad details, Pitch Report, Weather and more
After three consecutive losses, including a heartbreaking defeat to the Gujarat Giants, RCB’s playoff hopes are on the line. Captain Smriti Mandhana’s form has been a concern, and the team will need to find the answers, especially with their batting heavily dependent on Ellyse Perry. The absence of spinners Asha Sobhana, Sophie Molineux, and Shreyanka Patil has put the defending champions on the backfoot. The Bengaluru-based franchise currently holds the third spot in the standings after winning two out of their five games.
On the other hand, DC enters this match after a dominant victory over Mumbai Indians. Sitting at the top of the table with four wins from six games, their bowling and fielding have been exceptional, keeping opponents to low totals. The side will be looking to seal another victory before they fly to Lucknow for the third leg of the competition.
