In a thrilling clash at the Women's Premier League, Royal Challengers Bengaluru's Smriti Mandhana showcased a stellar performance, scoring 96 runs to propel her team to victory against Delhi Capitals. Her brilliant innings led RCB to triumph by eight wickets, marking their fourth consecutive win.

Despite a promising half-century from Delhi Capitals' Shafali Verma, the team struggled to capitalize further, finishing at 166 all out. RCB's chase was initially shaky, but Mandhana, alongside Georgia Voll, ensured a smooth pursuit of the target in 18.2 overs.
