In a historic moment for the Women's Premier League (WPL) 2024, Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) clinched their maiden title by defeating Delhi Capitals with an 8-wicket victory in the final, held in Delhi. Shreyanka Patil's exceptional bowling, including back-to-back four-wicket hauls against Delhi, and Ellyse Perry's consistent performances, notably being the top run-scorer, played pivotal roles in RCB's success. The match saw Delhi off to a rapid start at 41-0 after four overs, but RCB's comeback was highlighted by crucial moments like needing just 3 runs in 4 balls to secure the win. Perry, along with Meg Lanning, was leading the Orange Cap race, showcasing the high level of competition. RCB's triumph, celebrated by fans and acknowledged by cricketing legends and officials, marks a significant milestone for the team and women's cricket in India.
