WPL 2025 Points Table: Updated Standings After RCB Women vs DC Women Match

Shafali Verma thrashed 80 not out as Delhi Capitals gave a fourth straight loss to Royal Challengers Bengaluru with a dominant nine-wicket win in their Women’s Premier League clash here on Saturday.

After Ellyse Perry’s fourth half-century (60 not out) of the season took the defending champions to a challenging 147/5, DC batters Shafali (80 not out) and Jess Jonassen (61 not out) swept aside the challenge without much trouble.

Pursuing 148 to triumph, DC succeeded with nine wickets in hand and 4.5 overs remaining, strengthening their spot at the top of the WPL points table with 10 points from seven games, including five victories and two defeats. Delhi Capitals had, in fact, delivered a similar hammering to Mumbai Indians here on Friday. RCB, meanwhile, dropped to fourth place with only two triumphs so far in six matches.

The loss for the Smriti Mandhana-led team was also the third straight for RCB on their home ground at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium. Shafali kept shining with her shot-making, scoring 80 not out off just 43 balls with four sixes and eight fours for her first half-century of the season after getting out in the 40s three times in the tournament. She unleashed a stunning six over cover off Georgia Wareham in the 13th over to reach her fifty in 30 balls.

Meanwhile, Australia veteran Jonassen delivered her second half-century of the season, smashing nine fours and one six to score 61 off just 38 balls, adding more pressure on RCB. Earlier, Perry’s 47-ball 60 not out was vital for RCB, steering them to 147 for five. Perry not only became the top run-scorer in the third edition of the WPL but also the tournament’s all-time highest run-getter with 895 runs in 23 matches at 63.92, surpassing Meg Lanning (847 runs in 25 matches).

With this innings, the Australian star also became the top run-scorer in this year’s WPL, amassing 295 runs in six matches at 98.33. Perry steadied the ship to help RCB recover from an early setback with the dismissal of skipper Smriti Mandhana (8) and notched her fourth half-century of the season, scoring 60 off 47 balls with three sixes and as many fours. She also built crucial partnerships, adding 44 runs with England’s Danni Wyatt-Hodge (21) for the second wicket and another 68 runs with India’s Raghvi Bisht (33) to strengthen the RCB innings.

While Wyatt-Hodge smashed one six and two fours to score 21 off 18 balls, Bisht had a fruitful outing, making 33 from 32 balls with two sixes. For Delhi Capitals, India’s Shikha Pandey registered figures of 4-0-28-2, while the uncapped Nallapureddy Charani also picked up 4-0-28-2. Marizanne Kapp was once again outstanding with the new ball, delivering a tight spell of 4-0-18-1.
