Prediction

DCW’s Strengths: Balanced squad, power-packed top order, and versatile all-rounders.
RCBW’s X-Factor: Improved bowling depth and Smriti Mandhana’s form.

While RCBW’s recent win signals growth, DCW’s historical dominance and deeper bench make them slight favorites. If Delhi’s spinners (Radha Yadav, Jess Jonassen) control the middle overs and their openers fire, they’ll edge this contest. However, a standout performance from RCBW’s Perry or Mandhana could flip the script.

Verdict: Delhi Capitals Women to win in a closely fought game, leveraging their all-round depth and experience.
