Apart from Ms Rodrigues, DC captain Meg Lanning and Shafali Verma also contributed as they provided a solid start to the Delhi team to help them hit 223/12 in 20 overs. USA pacer Tara Norris became the first bowler to take a five-wicket haul in the history of the competition to ensure RCB got nowhere close to the target.
RCB, on the other hand, tried to redeem themselves with a valiant knock from Megan Schutt (22) but her efforts went in vain. RCB finished the match with a boundary and their final score was 163/8.
Notably, Delhi Capitals are currently ranked second on the WPL 2023 points table, just below Mumbai Indians.
