DC vs RCB, WPL 2023: Toss result and playing 11s for today's match, umpires list and pitch report

A deflated Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) will resume their hunt for their elusive win in the Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2023 when they take on a confident Delhi Capitals (DC) in match number 11 at the DY Patil Sports Academy in Mumbai on Monday, March 13.

While RCB have lost four out of four, DC are second in the points table, with their only defeat coming in the game against Mumbai.

Bangalore began the tournament by taking on Delhi in their first match. They went down by 60 runs and the defeat in a way set the tone for their WPL 2023 campaign. In their last match against UP Warriorz, they came up with another poor effort to go down by 10 wickets.

Despite an Ellyse Perry half-century, RCB were held to 138 all out, batting first. The bowlers once again failed to make any kind of impact as UP Warriorz chased down the target without losing a single wicket.

After going down to Mumbai, DC returned to winning ways by thumping Gujarat Giants (GG) by 10 wickets in their last match. Marizanne Kapp’s five-fer restricted Gujarat to 105. Shafali Verma then dazzled with an unbeaten 76 off 28 balls as Delhi got home in 7.1 overs.

Today's DC vs RCB pitch report

Mel Jones and Stacy Ann-King reckon the pitch is firm and has nice coverage of grass as well. Kapp bowled superbly on this, used her variations quite well, and was rewarded for it. Batters will need to apply themselves. It might not be about the spinners as much tonight.
