Last year taught us a lot of things: RCB captain Smriti Mandhana

Smriti Mandhana said she and her team had learned a lot from last year’s WPL, when they finished second-to-last in the league phase. This time, they were third. RCB defeated defending champions Mumbai Indians, led by Harmanpreet Kaur, in two consecutive games to reach the final, where they thumped Meg Lanning’s Delhi Capitals, who had topped the league stage this season.

“Last year taught us a lot of things,” Mandhana said. “We spoke of what went wrong, what went right, both as player and captain. The management backed my ideas when I went to them after the tournament. They said this is your team, build it the way you want to. It’s been amazing. They’ve been through a lot as well, for them to have this trophy is also really exciting.”

Sophie Molineux bagged the Player of the Match award for her game-turning three-wicket over.
