Here is RCB getting the trophy after winning WPL.
Earlier in the day, after winning the toss in the big game, Delhi Capitals got off to a fiery start as Shafali Verma came out all guns blazing. The DC opener butchered RCB bowlers thrashing them for boundaries all over the park and made full use of the powerplay. After scoring seven runs off the first five balls, Verma smacked Sophie Molineux over her head for a maximum to get her innings going.
She further took on Ellyse Perry in the fifth over launching her down the ground for another maximum and guided one towards the off-side for a boundary as DC finished the powerplay on 61/0. However, things changed pretty quickly as Sophie Molineux turned the game on its head with triple strikes in the eighth over dismissing Verma (44 off 27), Jemimah Rodrigues (0 off 2) and Alice Capsey (0 off 1) leaving Delhi on 65/3 after eight oversThe matters got worse as Shreyanka Patil dismissed the well-set DC captain Meg Lanning (23 off 23) trapping her in front of the stumps. On the other hand, Asha Sobhana got rid of Marizanne Kapp (8 off 16) and Jess Jonnasen (3 off 11) in the 14th over to leave Delhi in all sorts of trouble at 87/6. They were eventually bundled out for 113 in 18.3 overs leaving RCB fans over the moon during the innings break.
