Preview: The Royal Challengers Bangalore will be looking to get their first win of the ongoing Women’s Premier League when they take on Delhi Capitals in Match 11 on Monday. RCB, under Smriti Mandhana, have endured a forgettable start to the WPL, with four defeats in as many matches, and lie bottom of the five-team standings. DC, meanwhile, are placed second with three wins out of four matches.

Mandhana would be looking to get among some runs. She has registered scores of 35, 23, 18 and four and would be hoping for a match-defining innings.

Meanwhile, Capitals skipper Meg Lanning will be coming into this match with full confidence. The Australian cricketer is currently leading the batting charts for this season, with 206 runs from four matches.

In their last match against UP Warriorz, RCB were bundled out for 138, and their bowlers failed to collect even a single wicket, letting the Warriorz chase down comfortably. RCB would hope for an all-round, collective performance.
