Delhi Capitals (DC) and Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) are set to clash in match number 4 of WPL 2025 at Kotambi Stadium, Vadodara, on Monday, February 17. And guess what? This is not just another match. It’s a rematch of the 2024 final, where RCB beat DC, winning by eight wickets in a low-scoring thriller.
Current Form and Team News
Both teams kicked off their WPL 2025 campaigns with a bang:
- RCB took down the Gujarat Giants by six wickets in the season opener.
- DC edged past the Mumbai Indians in a nail-biting two-wicket win at the same venue.
But here’s the twist—RCB faces a setback. Shreyanka Patil is out due to injury. Her replacement? Sneh Rana, an all-rounder who surprisingly went unsold in the auction. Will RCB cope with this challenge? That’s the big question.
DC, meanwhile, didn’t look their best against MI. But hey, a win is a win.
