WPL 2025: Smriti Mandhana leads from the front as RCB thrash Delhi Capitals
Royal Challengers Bengaluru skipper Smriti Mandhana was at her free-flowing best as she decimated the Delhi Capitals bowling line-up to set up an eight-wicket win in Vadodara on Monday, her team’s second successive triumph in the Women’s Premier League.RCB chased down the target of 142 in 16.2 overs courtesy of a 107-run partnership between Mandhana (81 off 47 balls) and her opening partner Danielle Wyatt-Hodge (42 off 33).
On a night dominated by RCB, Mandhana pulled, swept, and came down the track to counter any kind of threat from the DC bowlers and killed off the chase, reaching her fifty in just 27 balls. Her innings was laced with 10 fours and three sixes before getting out with her team needing just 11 runs.
