Regal Challengers Bangalore won their lady Ladies' Head Association title after their spinners confined Delhi Captials to 113, making way for an eight-wicket triumph with only three balls in excess. Pursuing a humble aggregate, Bangalore began gradually and endured the deficiency of openers Sophie Devine (32) and commander Smriti Mandhana (31) preceding Ellyse Perry (35 not out) and Richa Ghosh (17 not out) drove them to triumph in the last finished.

Delhi commander Meg Lanning won the throw and decided to bat, a similar choice she made last year when her group lost the last of the debut release to Mumbai Indians.

Shafali Verma (44) and Lanning (23) began well with a rankling 64-run opening substitute seven overs before Sophie Molineux (3/20) put the stops on their accuse of three wickets in four balls.

Sobhana Asha (2/14) and Shreyanka Patil (4/12) then contributed with wickets at normal spans to tidy up the center request and tail as Delhi imploded and were excused for 113 in 18.3 overs.

Spinner Shreyanka Patil got four wickets.
Delhi's Shikha Pandey (1/11) and Minnu Mani (1/12) had some outcome in containing Bangalore's run rate in the initial 12 overs, however Perry and Ghosh recaptured the force in the last five overs, to guarantee triumph.

"Finals are interesting games," Molineux said in the wake of winning the Player of the Match grant. "We realized it was going down to the last second."

While the Bangalore men's group has never brought home the Indian Head Association championship regardless of arriving at the last multiple times, the ladies' group prevailed in the WPL's subsequent season, finishing the franchisee's prize dry spell.

"Bangalore fans are the most faithful... nothing might have occurred without them," Mandhana told the cheers of her group's allies who were available in huge numbers notwithstanding the game being held in Delhi. "They have hung tight for this seemingly forever."

Brief scores: Delhi Capitals: 113 all out in 18.3 overs (Shafali 44; Shreyanka 4/12, Molineux 3/20); Illustrious Challengers Bangalore: 115/2 in 19.3 overs (Perry 35*, Devine 32, Mandhana 31).
