Royal Challengers Bangalore vs Delhi Capitals match
WPL 2024 Final: Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) women’s team captain Smriti Mandhana does not want to put too much pressure on her team before the Women’s Premier League (WPL) final on Sunday. He says that he is in no mood to compare the franchise with the men’s team in the Indian Premier League (IPL). The RCB Men’s team has not won a single IPL title in the last 17 years, while finishing as runner-up thrice (2009, 2011, 2016). But in the second season of WPL, Mandhana-led RCB women’s team has got a great opportunity to win the title.
Mandhana’s big statement
Mandhana said that I think this year was very important for us to connect with the entire franchise. Whatever happened with the men’s team, sometimes it creates pressure. So we are just thinking that we are still in the second season, so we should not take too much stress. We have nothing to do with what happened to the men’s team. The first season of the WPL was not so good for RCB, with the team finishing fourth in the points table during the league stage. He further said that according to what cricket has taught, it is important to live in the present. It is about playing good cricket on the match day and whichever team does well in tomorrow’s match will win the title.
Mandhana has also praised the opposing team before the final match. He has said that we give a lot of importance to the role of the captain, but the captain is only as good as the team. Nothing will change tomorrow also, we will play against a good team of Delhi Capitals, who has played very good cricket in the last two seasons. I always take inspiration from Lanning, she understands batting very well. He taught me how to take inspiration from other players. When I made my debut, Lanning was Australia’s top scorer. It’s nice to watch them play.
What did the Delhi captain say?
The Delhi Capitals team also seems fully prepared for the final match. Before this match, the captain of Delhi Capitals said that the team is ready to win the title. Delhi Capitals captain Meg Lanning expressed hope that her players will play the best cricket of the tournament on Sunday and win the title, which they missed last year. Delhi Capitals were the runners-up last year, losing to Mumbai Indians in the final. Lanning said that we are well prepared for the final. This will be a great match. We are excited to get the chance to win the title and want to go out on the field and win it. We want to show our best game in the tournament.
