DC and RCB Face Off in WPL 2025 as Both Teams Look for Another Win

Batters: Shafali Verma, Danielle Wyatt-Hodge, Jemimah Rodrigues
Wicketkeepers: Richa Ghosh (c), Sarah Bryce
All-rounders: Ellyse Perry (vc), Kanika Ahuja, Sneh Rana
Bowlers: Shikha Pandey, Radha Yadav, Arundhati Reddy

Delhi Capitals and Royal Challengers Bengaluru go head-to-head in their second WPL 2025 match TODAY. Delhi scraped past Mumbai Indians in a tense finish last time, but they know they need to step it up. Even with some solid batting performances, they almost let the game slip. Now, they’ll be looking for a more convincing win against a strong RCB squad.

RCB started their title defense with a bang, pulling off the biggest chase in WPL history against Gujarat Giants. Richa Ghosh, Kanika Ahuja, and Ellyse Perry completely took apart Gujarat’s bowling. While RCB’s squad isn’t as stacked as last season, they’ve found quality replacements. Their bowling lineup is still a bit of a question mark, which is why adding Sneh Rana could be a smart move.

Delhi will be hoping Marizanne Kapp is fit to play because her all-round skills add balance to both batting and bowling. They got the job done against Mumbai but will need to be sharper against RCB, a team that can chase down almost anything.

RCB’s pace attack, with Renuka Singh Thakur and Kim Garth, has experience, but the likes of Georgia Wareham, Rana, and Joshitha need to step up. Perry being able to bowl at full strength would be a big boost too. On Delhi’s side, Meg Lanning, Shafali Verma, and Jemimah Rodrigues will be crucial up top, while the bowlers need to execute their plans better.
