Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) had their fate in their hands going into the must-win game against reigning champions Mumbai Indians (MI) at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Tuesday. The equation was clear: beat MI and earn a qualification to the ongoing WPL 2024 playoffs. The Smriti Mandhana-side lived up to the expectations and dismantled Harmanpreet Kaur and Co., winning by seven wickets, as the league stage drew to a conclusion.

Delhi Capitals, on the other hand, retained their top spot in the table after beating Gujarat Giants by seven wickets on Wednesday and, as a consequence, will now have to overcome the winner of the playoffs on Sunday if they are to lift a maiden WPL title.
