Toss Delhi Capitals chose to bat vs Royal Challengers Bangalore
Capitals went with the same XI that had beaten Gujarat Giants in their last league game, which means three pace bowlers and four spinners.
The pitch being used for the grand finale is the centre wicket with an even 55metre square boundaries on either side. It was the fourth game to be played on this track and the host broadcaster said Capitals have played two here and won both. The track looked dry and lack of dew in the evenings her has meant bowling second isn’t as tough as it usually is.
It was a sellout crowd at the Arun Jaitley Stadium where the captains at the toss drew raucous cheers from the crowd.
Capitals stormed into the WPL finals by topping the league table for the second year straight whereas RCB snatched a victory from Mumbai by just five runs on Friday night.
Capitals boasted a 4-0 record against RCB going into Sunday’s final.
