WPL: Tara Norris takes first 5 wicket as DC Women beat RCB Women by 60 runs

Royal Challengers Bangalore have had a bad start in the Women's Premier League. The RCB team full of big stars proved to be a failure in front of the blazing batting of Delhi Capitals. Delhi, batting first in this match, scored 223 runs at the loss of just 2 wickets, in response, the Bengaluru team was able to score only 163 runs and lost by 60 runs.

Captain Mag Lanning and Shefali Verma made a record partnership from Delhi Capitals. Shefali Verma scored 84 runs in 45 balls, while captain Mag Lanning scored 72 runs in 43 balls. Together they added 162 runs in 87 balls. Apart from him, in the end, Marijne Kapp scored 39 runs in 17 balls. 

If we talk about RCB, Captain Smriti Mandhana got a good start, but she could not play big innings later. She scored 35 runs in 23 balls, while Sophie Devine scored 14 runs in 11 balls. Four players played small innings for RCB, but everyone failed in front of the huge score of Delhi Capitals. Ellyse Parry 31, Heather Knight 34 and finally Megan Schutt scored 30 runs.

American bowler Tara Norris did wonders for Delhi Capitals and took five wickets. She has become the first bowler to take 5 wicket haul in the Women's Premier League. Tara Norris completely destroyed the middle order of RCB. He took 5 wickets for 29 runs in 4 overs. The RCB men's team also had a bad start to the IPL and now the same has happened to the women's team.
