Royal Challengers Bangalore Women vs Delhi Capitals Women Prediction: RCB are undefeated so far

Royal Challengers Bangalore Women and Delhi Capitals Women are going head to head in the 7th Match of Women Premier League at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru, India on 29 Feb 2024. RCB are yet to face defeat in the competition so far. Who will win this game of cricket?

Following a disappointing first season, the Royal Challengers have made a strong comeback in this edition by winning their first two matches. This has placed them at the top of the table due to their impressive Net Run Rate (NRR). Although Sophie Devine's form is a concern, the team is pleased that captain Smriti Mandhana was able to score 43 runs in the last match. The middle order has emerged as a key asset for the team, with S Meghana showing consistency with the bat and contributions from Ellyse Perry and Richa Ghosh. The bowling from RCB has been effective, with Renuka Singh performing well with the new ball in the last match. The bowling lineup also includes Asha Sobhana, Sophie Molineux, Georgia Wareham, and Shreyanka Patil.

After bouncing back from a loss in the season opener to the Mumbai Indians, the Delhi Capitals secured a convincing 9-wicket victory against the UP Warriorz. Meg Lanning and Shafali Verma form a solid opening partnership, having put up a century stand in the previous match with individual half-centuries. They will aim to provide a strong start once again. The team boasts a talented middle order with the likes of Jemimah Rodrigues, Marizanne Kapp, Annabel Sutherland, and Alice Capsey. Kapp impressed with the ball in the last game, taking 3 wickets for just 5 runs. She will be supported in the seam attack by Shikha Pandey and Arundhati Reddy, while Radha Yadav is a bowler to watch after taking a 4-wicket haul in her recent performance.

The team that wins the toss is likely to choose to bowl first in the match at the Chinnaswamy Stadium. The pitch at this stadium is hard, offering good pace and bounce, particularly benefiting the quicker bowlers with movement off the seam. While batting becomes easier as the game progresses, chasing a score above 160 may prove challenging. The spin bowlers must maintain accuracy to avoid being expensive. The dew factor may become a significant factor in the latter half of the match. The weather is predicted to be warm and humid with temperatures exceeding 23 degrees.

Delhi and Bangalore are considered among the top teams in the league, promising an exciting match. Based on recent performances, Bangalore is favored to win due to its well-rounded bowling attack. It is recommended to place a bet on Royal Challengers Bangalore W to emerge victorious.
