Despite having a star-studded squad, Royal Challengers Bangalore suffered a defeat in their first match of the WPL. The Smriti Mandhana led side showcased a subpar bowling performance as Delhi Capitals were able to notch up 223 runs on the scoreboard after the first innings and lost only two wickets in the process.

Things did not improve for Royal Challengers Bangalore with the bat either. Skipper Smriti Mandhana helped the side get off to a good start, but she was dismissed at 35 by Alice Capsey. Ellyse Perry, Heather Knight, and Megan Schutt attempted to fight back, but it was not enough in the end.
