In the 11th match of the Women\u2019s Premier League (WPL) 2023, Delhi Capitals (DC)<\/strong> faced off against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB)<\/strong> at the DY Patil Sports Academy in Navi Mumbai.<\/p>\n The Capitals won the toss and decided to bowl first. RCB started steadily, with openers Sophie Devine<\/strong> and Smriti Mandhana<\/strong> putting on 24 runs in the first four overs. However, Shikha Pandey\u2019s exceptional bowling performance<\/strong> of 3 wickets for just 23 runs and an outstanding catch to dismiss Devine derailed RCB\u2019s hopes of putting a big total on the board. Ellyse Perry<\/strong> and Richa Ghosh<\/strong> tried to accelerate the innings with a partnership of 70 runs in just 44 balls, with Perry remaining unbeaten on 67 off 52 balls, including 4 fours and 5 sixes. RCB ended their innings at 150 for 4.<\/p>\n In response, the Capitals lost Shafali Varma<\/strong> for a two-ball duck and Meg Lanning for 15. Alice Capsey<\/strong> (38) and Jemimah Rodrigues<\/strong> (32) then steadied their ship with handy contributions in the middle. After their dismissal, Marizanne Kapp<\/strong> and Jess Jonassen<\/strong> stitched an unbeaten partnership of 60 runs, with Jonassen\u2019s knock of 29 off 15 balls containing 4 fours and 1 six proving to be the game-changer. Kapp finished with 32 not out off 32 balls, while the Capitals chased down the target of 151 with 4 balls to spare, winning the match by 6 wickets.<\/p>\n Jonassen\u2019s exploits with the bat earned her the \u2018Player of the Match\u2019 award.
