Delhi Capitals are coming off a last-ball win over Mumbai Indians, chasing down 165 runs after a controversial run-out call went their way. Annabell Sutherland starred with the ball firstly claiming three wickets, and then Shafali Verma and Niki Prasad hit 43 and 35, respectively as other batters contributed mildly in their win over MI. DC will want an improved showing for the star-studded batting line-up.

On the other hand, RCB's batting depth helped them chase down a mammoth 204 against Gujarat Giants with Richa Ghosh and Kanika Ahuja pulling off a stunning win. However, with the ball, RCB were too wayward and leaked runs all over. Only Renuka Singh held her ground picking 2 for 24 in her four overs.
