Back-to-back matches? Tough. Back-to-back matches against the champions of the first 2 seasons? Even tougher. But we’re the Capitals, and we thrive on challenges!

With a Playoff spot in sight, we made a bold move—handing N. Charani her debut in place of Titas as we took the field, determined to wrap up our Bengaluru leg with a statement win.

Shikha Pandey and early breakthroughs? Name a more iconic duo! Another game and another first strike to set the tone.

And if Shikha’s on the wickets list, Kappie can’t be far behind! Our enforcer did what she does best—keeping the opposition under pressure.

RCB tried to mount a comeback in the death overs, but our debutant Charani had other plans—two wickets in an over, dismissing Raghavi Bisht and Richa Ghosh in style!

By the end of it, we restricted RCB to under 150, giving ourselves a golden opportunity to break our two-match losing streak against them.

With Meg Lanning dismissed early, our new explosive duo—Jess & Shifu—took charge, scoring at a staggering 181 strike rate to power the chase forward.

Jess was on fire once again, bringing up back-to-back fifties like a boss!

And after falling agonizingly short three times this season, Shifu finally got her first WPL 2025 half-century!

Chasing down 150 in just 15.3 overs, we became the first team to qualify for the WPL 2025 Playoffs!

And with that, we’re the first team to make it to the playoffs in all three seasons of WPL!

The Playoffs train has arrived, and the Capitals are leading the charge! 💙🔥
