In this article, we will discuss 3 reasons why RCB can beat DC in the WPL 2024 final. RCB defeated MI in a thrilling eliminator to make it into their maiden WPL. Royal Challengers Bangalore defeated Mumbai Indians in a thrilling eliminator to make it into their maiden WPL final. Smriti Mandhana-led side scripted history with this victory but they have one final hurdle to deal with. Bangalore will be facing last year’s finalists Delhi Capitals in the final. Let us look at 3 reasons why Royal Challengers Bangalore can lift the WPL title. 

Edged the defending champions

The biggest psychological advantage for Bangalore going into the final is the fact that they have defeated the defending champions Mumbai Indians in the eliminator. It was not an easy task but the youngsters pulled off a massive result. Like Mumbai Indians, Delhi Capitals are also a tough side and they will pose a big challenge but sky-high belief after eliminator victory can take RCB across the finishing line in the final. 

Shone under pressure

One of the biggest takeaways for Royal Challengers Bangalore from this final is their ability to hold the nerves under pressure. This has not been seen on too many occasions from this franchise in the past but it is a positive change and one that can propel RCB to their first trophy. At one point MI needed 20 runs off 18 balls but youngsters like Shreyanka and Asha pulled off a victory from the jaws of defeat. In a final, this attribute of not choking under pressure is a major asset for any team and RCB seems to be moving in that direction.

The spinners

RCB have made it into the final and it was possible only because the spinners took an almost-lost game away from Mumbai Indians. The likes of Shreyanka Patil, Sophie Molineux, and Asha Sobhana bowled in the right areas making it difficult for Mumbai batters to hit it out of the park. In the last few overs Mumbai could not get too many boundaries because these spinners varied their pace to perfection. This spin trio of RCB will give them a huge edge over Delhi Capitals in a captivating final.
