It's decided. Delhi Capitals Women (DC-W) will face Royal Challengers Bangalore Women (RCB-W) in the final of Women's Premier League (WPL) 2024.

DC-W finished the league phase at the top of the WPL standings, winning six of their eight games to book an automatic berth in the final. 

The second and third-placed teams would meet in the WPL Eliminator to decide which team would take on DC-W in the final.

The Eliminator in WPL 2024 took place between MI-W and RCB-W on Friday, March 15, at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. 

After batting first, RCB-W posted 135 runs on the board. They were in danger of being skittled out for a cheap total, but Ellyse Perry, like she has on many occasions this season, stood tall and bailed her side out of trouble with a terrific 50-ball 66. 

In reply, MI-W got off to a steady start, but lost West Indies all-rounder Hayley Matthews in the fourth over. Yastika Bhatia was sent back in the eight over, leaving MI-W in a bit of a spot of bother as RCB-W bowlers had kept the run rate in check. 

Nat Sciver-Brunt couldn't score much either, but skipper Harmanpreet Kaur and Amelia Kerr stitched a 52-run partnership to take the game deep. 

However, Shreyanka Patil, Sophie Molineux, and Asha Sobhana bowled brilliantly in the final three overs to defeat the defending champions by 5 runs to send RCB-W in their first WPL final.

They will take on DC-W in the final on Sunday. Neither of these franchises have tasted silverware in the men's edition, but that curse is set to end in the WPL 2024 final.
