WPL Final 2024, DC vs RCB Live Score: Mandhana gets RCB's winning cheque and is applauded by her teammates. Mandhana says, "Feeling hasn't sitll sunk in. Hard for me to come out with expressions. One thing I'll say is I'm proud of the bunch. Our Bangalore leg was really good. We came to Delhi and had two tough losses. That's what we spoke about that we need to step up at the right time. These tournaments are about peaking at the right time. Last year taught us a lot of things. What went wrong, what went right. Management just said this is your team, build it (your way). Thumbs up to them. For RCB, it's a lot more. I'm not the only one who won the trophy, the team has won the trophy. I'm not the person to talk about what I feel. This is in top five maybe. Obviously a World Cup would top it. Have a message for the fans - the most loyal fanbase. One statement that always comes up is Ee Sala Cup Namde. Now it's Ee Sala Cup Namdu. Kannada is not my first language but it was important to say it for the fans."

Congratulations to RCB - you outplayed us tonight. It all happened relatively quickly as it tends to do. As we've seen in this tournament, crazy things happen. Full credit to RCB, they fought back really nicely and deserved the win. We did a lot right. Unfortunately it wasn't to be. A lot of effort went from a lot of the people. Want to thank the support staff. Cricket is a funny game - you win some, you lose some."

Felt I was bowling slow tonight. Had been bowling quick throughout the tournament - took the learnings from it. To be taken on by RCB after not playing cricket for a while was pretty special. To be a part of it was really cool."

WPL Final 2024, DC vs RCB Live Score: After the win, Perry said, "Pretty bonkers, to be honest. Just another level for us and for women's cricket. The support all teams have had is phenomenal. The standard of cricket has been amazing and it has been a pleasure to play. She is unbelievable. For such a young player, she has all the shots. She has the calmness too. Felt we just needed to stay in the game, wait for the loose balls and we got there in the end. She turned the match around on its head. For the rest of the spinners to back her up the way they did…Shreyanka is such a young player, and that (spinners' performance) was special."

Meanwhile, Devine stated, "We did the job. Richa has been outstanding this whole tournament. (What changed) We had all the parts last season as well, it was just about putting them together. Outstanding from the management to get them (the new players in). Mandhana was outstanding (as captain), she learns on the go. Pretty special, shows the support the women's game has. This is the best set of fans and special to see it come to the women's team also."

WPL Final 2024, DC vs RCB Live Score: Speaking after the win, Patil said, "For sure, you can call us (spin twins). We really worked hard. We had a camp before the season and it was amazing to get in touch with everyone and know everyone. We were confident and we had amazing team bonding sessions - some dancing, some drama, some laughter. They (the fans) keep saying Ee Sala Cup Namde - now we have gotten the cup, it is all for the fans. Day in and day out, we put in hard work and we manifested it. We wanted to win this game and show the fans we can do it. Luke came here, we did not know him much. In the last game, when we won against MI, he had tears in his eyes. Amazing we are playing as a unit, as a family and we hope to continue this winning streak. We are not going to leave them (Perry and Luke Williams), they have to dance."

Meanwhile, Richa said, "I was a little nervous and Perry helped me a lot. After last year, reaching the final and winning, it was our preparation and God helped us along the way. When bowling, we wanted to bowl wicket-to-wicket and we wanted a wicket or two. Whenever there is a small target, it tends to be a close game and it does not allow you to relax."
