Veteran bowlers Renuka Singh and Georgia Wareham led the way with three wickets each as Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) bowled out Delhi Capitals for 141 in the first innings of their Women's Premier League match.
Renuka returned figures of 3/23, while Wareham took 3/25, as RCB applied pressure after Delhi reached a comfortable 55/1 in the powerplay.
The turning point came in the seventh over when RCB triggered a dramatic collapse, taking two wickets in five balls. Jemimah Rodrigues, who had been in control with a brisk 34 off 22 balls, was stumped by Richa Ghosh after attempting a reverse sweep. In the following over, Delhi's captain Meg Lanning miscued a short ball and was caught by Ellyse Perry at square leg.

Renuka struck again in the 11th over, dismissing Annabel Sutherland for 19 just as she was beginning to find form with a six.
Earlier, Renuka dismissed opener Shafali Verma for a golden duck in the opening over after Smriti Mandhana opted to bowl. Despite surviving an earlier LBW call, Jemimah's wicket turned the tide in RCB’s favour.
Although Lanning attempted a recovery with some stylish boundaries, RCB’s bowlers and fielders, led by Renuka and Wareham, kept up the pressure as Delhi lost their last five wickets in just six overs.
Wicketkeeper batter Sarah Bryce added a quick-fire 23 off 19 balls before becoming Wareham's victim, and Delhi was bowled out for 141 in 19.3 overs.
