The Women's Premier League is reaching its climax with the final showdown between Delhi Capitals and Royal Challengers Bangalore. While RCB will be playing their first title match in this league, Delhi ended as runners-up in the previous season.
Smriti Mandhana's led team secured a spot in the finals after a thrilling victory against Mumbai Indians in the eliminator match on Friday. Meanwhile, Delhi maintained their top position in the points table this season, becoming the first team to reach the playoffs. Today's match promises a fierce battle for the championship title.
Head-to-Head Record -
Both teams have displayed outstanding performances this season. Delhi has won six out of eight matches, while RCB has won four out of four matches. They have clashed twice in the league stage, with the Meg Lanning-led team emerging victorious in both matches. Today marks their third encounter in this season.
Delhi's Advantage -
Delhi has played four matches on this ground, benefiting from home conditions. The team has won three matches and faced a decisive defeat against UP in one match. On the other hand, RCB has won only two out of four matches on this ground. Therefore, Delhi holds a significant advantage going into the final.
Men's Teams Yet to Win Final -
Today is a crucial day for both RCB and Delhi fans as neither franchise's men's teams have won the final match yet. A new champion is set to be crowned today. RCB's men's team has been IPL runners-up three times, facing defeats in the finals against Deccan Chargers in 2009, Chennai in 2011, and Sunrisers Hyderabad in 2016. Delhi Capitals have reached the final only once, in IPL 2020, where they suffered a defeat against Mumbai.
