A clinical women`s team washed away Royal Challengers Bangalore`s 16 years of agony, lifting their maiden title which came through an eight-wicket win over Delhi Capitals in front of a cheering full house in the WPL 2024 final on Sunday.
Once the spin pair of Shreyanka Patil (4/12) and Sophie Molineux (3/20) engineered a DC collapse to 113 all out, there could have been only one winner. But the formalities had to be completed. RCB did it via their talismanic skipper Smriti Mandhana (31), Sophie Devine (32) and the impactful Elysse Perry (35 not out).
