WPL will enter the field with new players in 2024
The Smriti Mandhana-led RCB team had a poor start in the first season of the WPL. RCB team lost 6 out of 8 matches. In the tournament, RCB team finished its journey in fourth place out of five teams. After this poor performance, the RCB team is ready to enter the field in WPL 2024 with many new players.
RCB's strong batting lineup
RCB team is considered a strong contender to win the title of WPL 2024. RCB team has a strong batting order. Smriti Mandhana and Sophie Devine are in great form and both players are expected to make a strong start. Smriti Mandhana may not have lived up to her expectations last season, but she is one of the top-ranked players in the world. Devine, on the other hand, is adept at destroying any bowling attack with his aggressive game.
The players of the opposing team are afraid of his presence. Apart from Mandhana, the RCB team includes Shreyanka Patil, Kanika Ahuja, Richa Ghosh and Shubha Satish. All these players are known for their match-winning performances. In such a situation, the RCB team captained by Smriti Mandhana looks much stronger than the last season.
RCB's weakness for WPL 2024
The RCB team has included some excellent all-rounders in its batting lineup. However, the team will definitely feel the loss after the exclusion of Australian fast bowler Megan Shutt. Renuka Singh Thakur will start the new ball this season, but who will be her partner is not decided yet.
