Royal Challengers Bangalore succumbed to a fifth consecutive defeat in the Women's Premier League despite the heroics of Ellyse Perry and Richa Ghosh as Delhi Capitals clinched a six-wicket win. Chasing 151 on what turned out to be a challenging surface to bat on, Delhi Capitals were guided by the pair of Jess Jonassen (29 not out) and Marizanne Kapp (32 not out), who produced an all-round show. After delivering a superb 4-0-17-0 in the first half, Kapp guided Delhi past the finish line with an unbeaten 32 not out from as many balls, laced with three fours and one six. With this victory, Meg Lanning's Delhi Capitals remained on the second spot in the points table with four wins and eight points, whereas RCB were pushed closer to elimination since they have endured a horror campaign in the inaugural WPL, losing all their five matches.
