Looking forward to playing our best game, says captain Lanning ahead of DC’s second straight WPL final

New Delhi, March 16 : After narrowly missing out on winning the title in the inaugural edition, Delhi Capitals will look to go one step further this year when they take on the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the final of the Womens Premier League (WPL) 2024 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium here on Sunday.

Delhi Capitals had a near-perfect campaign this season, having won six and lost two in their eight league stage matches.

They finished on top of the points table for the second consecutive time to secure direct qualification to the WPL final under Meg Lanning.

"Its pretty cool that we get the chance to do it again.

We need to play well tomorrow, thats what it comes down to, thats what finals are all about," said Meg in the pre-final press conference on Saturday.

She further added, "Its about performing on the day and adapting on your feet and being able to play whats in front of you.The experience of last year helps in a way.We feel like weve been there before but it doesnt drive us in any different way."

Speaking about the summit clash against RCB, captained by Smriti Mandhana, Lanning said, "Its going to be a cracking game.Were really pumped for it, and excited to be involved.

Were looking forward to taking it on and hopefully playing our best game of the tournament."

"Weve seen throughout the tournament that theres been some crazy cricket, some crazy finishes, so Im expecting nothing less tomorrow.

Were coming up against RCB who have played some excellent cricket.Theyve shown that theyre able to play some great cricket when theyre under the pump.

Its a great challenge for our group and Ive got full confidence that well be able to deliver," she concluded.
