Delhi Capitals vs Royal Challengers Bangalore: For both teams, this is the last game of the group stage, but the Capitals and RCB enter this weekend in good position to finish in the top three and move on to the playoffs.
All five teams, including the much-maligned Gujarat Giants Women, who secured their first victory of the season on Wednesday, still have a chance to go past the group round. If they want to sneak into the top three, they will now need to go on an incredible winning streak, but even a perfect record from their next three games might not be enough!
While a victory by RCB Women will make things extremely close and exciting at the top, a victory by Delhi Capitals Women should be sufficient to guarantee their spot in the next round.
The 17th T20 match between Delhi Capitals vs Royal Challengers Bangalore will take place from March 10th, 2024, at Arun Jaitley Stadium, Central Delhi, India.

The Australian opener leads all other players in the competition with two half-centuries (4 total) going into this weekend, and her recent record in all forms is five half-centuries in seven innings! The fact that Alice Capsey and Shafali Verma are both playing well indicates that this Delhi XI has a lot of batting talent.
Prior to this Saturday’s games, Delhi Capitals Women are also among the top three wicket-takers in the competition when it comes to the ball. This is a rather powerful side!

Meg Lanning (c), Shafali Verma, Alice Capsey / Marizanne Kapp, Jemimah Rodrigues, Annabel Sutherland, Jess Jonassen, Arundhati Reddy, Taniya Bhatia (wk), Radha Yadav, Shikha Pandey, Titas Sadhu

Preview
Being defeated by any team is disheartening, but for RCB Women, who would be eager to win this match right away, losing to Gujarat Giants Women is especially frustrating.
To be fair, RCB faced a formidable order from Gujarat, who fulfilled it in the end and then made a respectable attempt to chase down 200 to win. Ellyse Perry, Sophie Devine, and skipper Smriti Mandhana all need to perform well in this match after going out of the game on Wednesday for runs in the twenties.
However, their bowling unit will be crucial to their victory in this match. Only two wickets were taken by the bowlers against Gujarat, who had three run-outs; thus, they must be significantly more dangerous in this match.
Full Squad:
Sabbhineni Meghana, Smriti Mandhana (c), Ellyse Perry, Sophie Devine, Richa Ghosh (wk), Georgia Wareham, Sophie Molineux, Simran Bahadur, Ekta Bisht, Asha Sobhana, Renuka Singh
