Meg Lanning said that Delhi Capitals are unchanged from their last league phase game.

“We will bat tonight, feel that’s the best chance to win the game. The pitch looks good and we’ll have to bat well. What has happened before is irrelevant, we’re up against a great team and we need to play well. We’re going with the same team,” DC skipper Meg Lanning said after winning the toss.

Smriti Mandhana revealed that RCB made one change – Sabbhineni Meghana replacing Shraddha Poklharkar.

“We would have batted first as well, but I think it doesn’t really go well, we will have to bowl well, stick to our plans and play some good cricket. We’ve had a lot of ups and downs so far, but we need to be at our best tonight. This is the 4th match on the same wicket, the last game, it played slow. We’ve one change – Meghana comes in for Disha Karat,” said RCB captain Smriti Mandhana.
