Sophie Molineux took three wickets in an over to trigger a stunning Delhi Capitals collapse as RCB won the second edition of the WPL.
Royal Challengers Bangalore became the second Women's Premier League champions after Sophie Molineux took three wickets in an over to trigger a stunning Delhi Capitals collapse in Sunday's final. Capitals, also beaten in last year's inaugural final by Mumbai Indians, raced to 64-0 after seven overs through Shafali Verma and Meg Lanning , only for Australia spinner Molineux to strike three times in four balls in the seventh to set RCB on their way to an eight-wicket win.
RCB knocked off their target with three balls to spare - Sophie Devine making 32, opening partner Smriti Mandhana 31 and Ellyse Perry, the leading run-scorer in the tournament with 346 in nine innings, hitting an unbeaten 35. Delhi kept the run rate in check to stay in the contest, despite only taking two wickets, but Richa Ghosh smoked the winning boundary as Capitals suffered final heartbreak once again.
