New Delhi: The bond between Indian batter Smriti Mandhana and Jemimah Rodrigues is known by every cricket fan and WPL has made them stand opposite each other this time. Meanwhile, the game between Delhi Capitals and Royal Challenger Bangalore will also feature friends and teammates, be it Meg Lanning and Ellyse Perry or Dane van Niekerk and Marizanne Kapp, clashing against each other.
Wherever Jemimah goes, the question remains the same, what will it be to play against Smriti? In a pre-tournament video too, Jemi was asked about Smriti captaining RCB, to which she answered she does not know her and that she is definitely not her best friend, and added that it will be fun to play against her.
That was a fun Rapid Fire ? https://t.co/SFJEIcB9BD

Not just their partnerships on-field but their off-the-field chemistry and the show hosted by them during lockdown are loved by their fans. Though they have faced each other in the Women’s T20 Challenge before, this will be a clash to watch out for. Meanwhile, in another video, Jemimah can be seen sharing a tight hug with Harleen Deol, who is in Gujarat Giants.

On the other hand, a picture of Dane van Niekerk and Marizanne Kapp was shared by Delhi Capitals, where Kapp was seen eating a wrap while van Niekerk just sat beside her. Sharing the picture, DC wrote, “When Bae loves salads, but you prefer Dilli ka shawarma.”

These best-friend clashes have made the game much more interesting to watch and after a stunner of a start by Mumbai Indians and Gujarat Giants, WPL 2023 has grabbed all the eyeballs.
The game between RCB and DC will begin at 3:30 pm at the Brabourne Stadium.
