Bengaluru has a poor record in the home ground in the WPL 2025 season and will be looking for a win in the ongoing match. Meanwhile Delhi Capitals will be looking for a win to keep their winning momentum.
Speaking at the toss, Meg Lanning said, “We are bowling first. That seems to have worked pretty well for us throughout the tournament. But it’s a new day today and facing RCB is a big challenge.”
“We try and switch off throughout the day and come back and be switched on during this time. We don’t rely on one or two players. we have got good depth and we have got to look to them tonight.”
Meanwhile RCB captain Smriti Mandhana said, “Would have bowled first today. With my tosses having lost four in a row, have to be ready for batting (smiles ruefully).”
(on the crowd) They have come out in huge numbers in the last three games, could not do much, last home game for us, hopefully we will do them proud today.”
“Having a fresh mindset every match is what is spoken about, franchise cricket you can’t predict much, you will do right and do right wrong. We had a good discussion and the girls seem very positive.”
