The Royal Challengers Bangalore remain in the hunt for the top spot in the WPL 2024 after beating UP Warriorz by 23 runs at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on March 4. JioCinema and Sports18 WPL experts Saba Karim and Sushma Verma discussed RCB's performance.

captain RCB, on the fan experience in Bengaluru: "We'll see if the Delhi crowd can match the energy of the Bangalore crowd. We have seen men's cricket here, I had come in 2016 to watch a match and the crowd was similar and the atmosphere was like this. The way people have supported me has been great to see.

As a women's cricketer, at that moment, I think women's cricket has won. I am saying this not just about Smriti Mandhana or RCB, I feel like women's cricket is winning. Last year, Mumbai had a good turnout. Bangalore was crazy, especially for our matches. It was great watching people come and support not just the home team but also the others. They call RCB the most loyal fanbase.

We saw it this time. We couldn't even step out in Bangalore for the last 15 days, it's that good! It's a win for women's cricket and the entire fraternity."
