After narrowly missing out on the title in the inaugural edition, Delhi Capitals (DC) will look to cross the line this year as they take on the Royal Challengers Bangalore in the Final of the WPL 2024 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi on Sunday.
Delhi Capitals had a near-perfect campaign this season, winning six and losing two in their eight league stage matches.
They finished on top of the points table for the second consecutive time to secure direct qualification in the final of the WPL.
Speaking about playing the WPL final for the second straight time, Delhi Capitals’ Captain Meg Lanning said, “It’s pretty cool that we get the chance to do it again. We need to play well tomorrow, that’s what it comes down to, that’s what finals are all about.”
“It’s about performing on the day, adapting on your feet, and being able to play what’s in front of you. The experience of last year helps in a way. We feel like we’ve been there before but it doesn’t drive us in any different way,” she said.
On the summit clash against RCB, she predicted, “It’s going to be a cracking game. We’re really pumped for it, and excited to be involved. We’re looking forward to taking it on and hopefully playing our best game of the tournament.”
“We’ve seen throughout the tournament that there’s been some crazy cricket, some crazy finishes, so I’m expecting nothing less tomorrow.
“We are coming up against RCB who have played some excellent cricket. They’ve shown that they’re able to play some great cricket when they’re under the pump. It’s a great challenge for our group and I’ve got full confidence that we’ll be able to deliver,” she added.
