Delhi thrash RCB to reach WPL play-offs
- Published
Delhi Capitals beat defending Women's Premier League champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru by nine wickets to book their place in the play-offs.
Australia's Jess Jonassen and India's Shafali Verma added an unbroken stand of 146 for the second wicket as Delhi reached their target of 148 inside 15.3 overs.
Verma finished with 80 from 43 balls and Jonassen made 61 from 38, as former Australia skipper Meg Lanning was the only batter to depart for five.
All-rounder Ellyse Perry's 60 not out from 47 balls - her fourth half-century of the tournament so far - was in vain for RCB as she struggled for support from the rest of the line-up.
Delhi reached the final in the previous two editions of the competition, but lost both.
Whoever finishes top of the table by the end of the group stage will progress straight into the final on 15 March while second and third place will play in the Eliminator two days before.
