WPL 2025, Match 4th: DC vs RCB: Captains’ Corner
Very pleased. The bowlers did a great job restricting DC to below 150. In fielding we saved 15-20 runs. And then Danni was great. [Bowling] The strategy was to bowl more pace. Depending on the conditions, Baroda doesn’t play twice the same way. Renuka and Joshitha were great. As a team, we are proud. Ekta as well, was great. Danni and I know each other well. The bowlers did a great job. We kept going on, and the runs came.
Smriti Mandhana(RCB Captain) said post-match
Not our best night. We got off to a reasonable start, but we lost wickets too quickly. RCB bowled well to peg us back. Disappointing. The batters got in at times, but couldn’t carry on. Not our best night. [Not in groove in WPL 2025] We can improve a lot from game one. We showed a lot of fight there. Tonight wasn’t our best night. Lot of things to looks to forward and we need to come back strongly. [Dew?] It did get better to bat in the evening. But RCB picked their chances. They bowled well.
