New Delhi. Women’s IPL is being played for the first time in India. In this, Mumbai won the first match by defeating Gujarat Giants under the captaincy of Harmanpreet Kaur. The first double header will be played in the Women’s Premier League (WPL) today i.e. Sunday, March 05. In the first match, Royal Challengers Bangalore will face Delhi Capitals. This match between the two teams is to be played at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai from 3.30 pm Indian time.
Let us tell you that in this match, the aggressive batsman Shefali Verma will face the challenge of RCB captain Smriti Mandhana’s restrained batting. RCB have got good international players in their squad which includes Ellyse Perry, Heather Knight and Sophie Devine and also have an excellent captain in Mandhana who is the league’s highest selling player for Rs 3.40 crores. Richa Ghosh is in the team due to which the team looks strong.
But if Indian talents are to be seen, then on paper the Delhi Capitals of the multiple World Cup winning great Australian player Meg Lanning have a slight edge over their rival. Jess Jonassen, Marijane Kapp and Ellyse Capse are likely to be the four overseas players along with Lanning but Delhi’s Indian line-up looks formidable with their strength.
