Royal Challengers Bangalore have endured a nightmare of a start to life in the inaugural Women’s Premier League. They have struggled to put together a complete performance despite several tweaks across departments. DC have been one of the two top performers. They only lost in four attempts came against the high-flying Mumbai Indians who rightly are at the top of the WPL points table. Stung by their defeat to MI, DC blazed away to a 10-wicket win over Gujarat Giants.
