In their last game, DC started on a strong note but lost wickets on regular intervals to manage 155 runs on the board. The Mumbai outfits then comfortably chased down the total after losing a solitary wicket.
Mandhana took to social media to post pictures of her squad playing holi and applying colours on each other’s faces.
“It is a pretty short tournament and we can’t dwell on it, even in franchise cricket if you start winning then you can go on a run,” said the RCB captain while speaking to the broadcasters.

Since WPL has just 5 teams participating in the tournament, the games will come at a much faster rate for Royal Challengers Bangalore. In their next game, RCB Women take on the Gujarat Giants. However, it won’t be a walk in the part for the Mandhana.
Gujarat Giants are placed at the bottom of the points table after having lost both their opening game. Therefore it can be well understood that Ashleigh Gardner and Sneh Rana-led Giants outfits will be looking for blood.
