Sat Mar 01 15:10:00 UTC 2025: ## Delhi Capitals Storm into Women’s Premier League Play-offs with Dominant Win

**Mumbai, India –** Delhi Capitals secured their place in the Women’s Premier League play-offs with a resounding nine-wicket victory over defending champions Royal Challengers Bangalore. A stunning unbeaten partnership between Australia’s Jess Jonassen (61 runs off 38 balls) and India’s Shafali Verma (80 runs off 43 balls) powered Delhi to their 148-run target in just 15.3 overs. Verma and Jonassen’s 146-run stand for the second wicket proved insurmountable for RCB. Despite Ellyse Perry’s impressive 60 not out (her fourth half-century of the tournament), the rest of the RCB batting lineup failed to provide support, leaving Perry’s efforts in vain. Meg Lanning was the only Delhi batter dismissed, falling for 5 runs.

This win marks a significant step for Delhi Capitals, who have reached the final in the previous two editions of the competition but ultimately fell short. The top team at the end of the group stage will advance directly to the final on March 15th, while the second and third-placed teams will contest the Eliminator two days prior.
