Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) star Virat Kohli was seen dancing in celebration during a video call with his female counterparts as they clinched the title during the Women's Premier League (WPL) 2024 final. With the team gathered together outside the boundary rope, they could be seen making a video call to Kohli, who was ecstatic after their title win.
Despite starting as underwhelming favourites, RCB delivered an emphatic performance against the Delhi Capitals as they trounced them by 8 wickets in the final. The Capitals managed only 113 on the board despite an explosive start. With the bat, Ellyse Perry led the way as she remained unbeaten at 35 to steer their side to victory with 3 balls to spare.
RCB spinners spark collapse of epic proportions:
After electing to bat first, Delhi Capitals openers Shafali Varma and Meg Lanning raced off the blocks, adding 61 in 6 overs. However, Sophie Molineux's 2nd over turned their innings on its head as she dismissed Shafali Varma, Jemimah Rodrigues, and Alice Capsey.
Shreyanka Patil also made incisions, starting by dismissing skipper Lanning and the Capitals failed to recover moving forward, collapsing from 64-0 to 113 all out in 18.3 overs. Patil starred with 4 wickets while Molineux took 3 to leave their side chasing only 114 for victory.
Molineux also earned the Player of the Match award as the RCB coasted to their maiden WPL title win.
