This middle-order trio adds depth and resilience to the combined lineup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Alice Capsey’s phenomenal display with bat and ball for Delhi Capitals, Ellyse Perry’s crucial contribution in RCB’s recent triumph, and Marizanne Kapp’s consistent brilliance make them the power-packed all-rounders. Capsey’s 75 runs and two wickets, Perry’s quick-fire 23*, and Kapp’s match-winning figures of 3\/5 against UPW underline their importance in this clash of titans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Bowling Dominance: Yadav and Thakur Shine<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Radha Yadav’s stellar performance against UP Warriorz, securing figures of 4\/20, showcases her bowling prowess, complemented by Renuka Singh’s remarkable display against Gujarat Giants.
