Laura Wolvaardt hit an unbeaten 42 as Delhi Capitals cruised past a previously unbeaten Royal Challengers Bengaluru to seal a seven-wicket win in the Women’s Premier League.<\/p>\n
With five wins from five, RCB could have sealed a place in the final with another victory but Delhi Capitals delayed what feels inevitable.<\/p>\n
RCB skipper Smriti Mandhana got off to a strong start with the bat but Minnu Mani dismissed her for 38, picking up her first wicket of the tournament.<\/p>\n
After the halfway stage, a middle-order collapse left RCB scrambling for runs with their overseas signings failing to fire.<\/p>\n
Nandni Sharma once again proved useful at the death taking three wickets, as RCB were restricted to 109.<\/p>\n
Shafali Verma looked to cause damage in response, striking at 200, but was quickly removed by the in-form Sayali Satghare.<\/p>\n
Overseas stars Wolvaardt and Jemimah Rodrigues steadied the ship for the Delhi Capitals, putting on a 52-run partnership.<\/p>\n
After Rodrigues was dismissed, fellow South Africa international Marizanne Kapp joined Wolvaardt at the crease to ease their side across the line with four overs remaining.<\/p>\n
