Unstopable
DC's unstoppable performance led by Tara Norris, Alice Capsey, and Shikha Pandey's wickets proved too much for RCB. Even Ellyse Perry and Smriti Mandhana's efforts couldn't save them. Congrats to Delhi Capitals Women on a commanding 60-run victory! 🏏💪🎉 #TATAWPL #DCvRCB #WPL pic.twitter.com/61BdNLIr5j
