Thanks to opener Shafali's fine knock of 84 alongside Lanning's 72 that DC posted WPL's second successive 200-plus score. Verma played some breathtaking power-packed strokes in her 84-run knock, which came off just 45 deliveries (10 fours, and four sixes), as she left RCB bowling in a tailspin.

There was very little that Royal Challengers Bangalore could do, as the Smriti Mandhana-led side were restricted to 163 for eight in 20 overs. It was a superlative all-round effort from Delhi that drove the RCB camp to the brink of a total destruction. 

Norris destroyed the RCB lineup, returning figures of 5/29 after Delhi Capitals had put up an imposing 223 for two at the Brabourne Stadium. Chasing the mammoth 224, the Smriti Mandhana-led side were restricted to 163 for eight in 20 overs.

Verma and Lanning's massive 162-run partnership ended in an equally dramatic manner, with both getting dismissed in the 15th over, with England off-spinner Heather Knight accounting for the two off the third and fifth deliveries of her second over

Delhi was at its finest today, so much so that Verma-Lanning's departure off the third and fifth ball of the 15th over did not slow the scoring rate, with Marizanne Kapp (39 not out) and young India player Jemimah Rodrigues (22 not out) helping the side cross the 200-run mark.
