Royal Challengers Bengaluru's (RCB) title defence started with a record 202-run chase against Gujarat Giants followed by a comfortable eight-wicket win against Delhi Capitals (DC). But losing all four matches at their home ground in Bengaluru has left them on the brink of crashing out in the league stage. RCB, who have only four points after six matches, can reach a maximum of eight points by winning their last two games against UP Warriorz and Mumbai Indians (MI).

It wasn't a perfect opening night for Royal Challengers Bengaluru, so captain Smriti Mandhana was "really happy" to be on the winning side. Her team, the defending champions, conceded what was the fourth-highest total in the WPL, then went one better, chasing down 202 in exhilarating fashion. They chiefly had Richa Ghosh, Kanika Ahuja and Ellyse Perry to thank for this, and Mandhana heaped praise on her middle order for delivering after an early wobble.

Two seasons, two top-of-the-table finishes. Two finals, but no trophies. Delhi Capitals (DC) came close to title wins in WPL 2023 and 2024, before falling short in the final against Mumbai Indians and Royal Challengers Bengaluru, respectively. But for captain Meg Lanning, continuing to do what they've done the last two seasons along with a "few little changes" is all the team needs to go one step ahead and clinch the title in 2025.

But the fast bowler isn't brooding over the snub; instead, she says she's making sure she's only focusing on what she can control: fine-tuning her skills to become the best cricketer she can be.
