2nd ODI: India Eye Series Clincher In Rajkot As New Zealand Look To Bounce Back (Preview)
Niranjan Shah Stadium: Following a narrow four-wicket win in the series opener at Vadodara, India will now face New Zealand in Rajkot to try to clinch the series by taking an unbeatable lead in the three-match series. The two sides will lock horns at the Niranjan Shah Stadium, a typically batting-friendly surface, where the BlackCaps will aim to level the series while the hosts will aim to grab a 2-0 lead. India's playing XI for the second ODI will witness at least one change after Washington Sundar was ruled out of the remainder of the series following an injury. The all-rounder was replaced by Ayush Badoni in the squad as the 26-year-old received his maiden ODI call-up. Captain Shubman Gill faces a typical selection dilemma' after several fringe players stepped up under pressure. The first match showed that although veterans like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma remain crucial, the inclusion of relatively inexperienced players like Harshit Rana is changing the team's tactical approach. As the action shifts to Rajkot, the team management must decide whether to maintain the successful lineup or rotate bowlers to reduce their workload. India clinched their eighth consecutive ODI win over New Zealand since 2023. At home venues, they have now secured eight straight ODI victories against New Zealand since 2017. The ODI series opener also saw India successfully chase the second-highest target against New Zealand, behind the 316 runs achieved in Bengaluru in 2010. New Zealand responded strongly in the first game. It appeared they were done for when Kohli and Iyer were dominating, and India looked poised to win easily with a comfortable margin. However, the BlackCaps demonstrated great resilience before India secured the victory. Rohit Sharma scored the first runs for India but was dismissed in the Power-play, while Gill had a slow start against the new ball but regained his rhythm after Kohli came in to support him. Indias No. 3 entered with confidence, aggressively facing the bowlers and hitting boundaries, establishing a strong partnership of over 100 runs with the captain. Following Gills dismissal, Shreyas Iyer maintained the same aggressive approach, forming another steady partnership with Kohli and ensuring India stayed in command. Then, Kyle Jamieson entered the scene and took three wickets in just seven balls to dismiss Kohli and Iyer, putting New Zealand right back into the game. With Washington injured, Rana was sent in before him, delivering a useful cameo that eased the pressure on wicketkeeper-batter KL Rahul. Even after Ranas dismissal, a hobbling Washington walked out to the middle, and together he and Rahul guided India home with an over to spare. New Zealand threw everything they had at India and pushed them all the way, but in the end, they just lacked that extra bit of firepower in the crunch moments. The Kiwis demonstrated resilience with both bat and ball. After a solid beginning, a mid-innings slump nearly derailed them, but Daryl Mitchells steadiness led them to a competitive score. With the ball, they kept fighting and pushed the match until the second last over. India, on the other hand, will recognise they could have been more precise across all aspects of the game and will aim to improve in the second match on Wednesday.

'With Those Muscles, You Just Have To Go For It': Smriti Hails Grace Harris' Power Hitting
DY Patil Stadium: Smriti Mandhana and Grace Harris lit up DY Patil Stadium as they emerged as the WPLs most prolific opening duo. The pair crushed UP Warriorz with a commanding 145-run partnership, powering Royal Challengers Bengaluru to a thumping nine-wicket victory. After the match, the two shared a light-hearted moment and spoke about how their contrasting personalities have come together to form a formidable opening partnership. In a video shared by the Womens Premier League on X, Smriti first hailed Graces batting and said she had the best seat at the non-strikers end to witness the heroics. The Indian opener also termed Harris an extrovert while calling herself an introvert. The best seat in the box, I would say, because I didn't have to do anything. I just had to get her on strike. And not only that one over, but she also just whacked everyone. It's just easy to bat when someone gets going. But again, I mean all the shots, it was just not sixes; it was like long sixes, the RCB skipper said of Harris. The Australian opener, in turn, praised Smritis technique and felt that her captain could hit the ball anywhere effortlessly. Well, it's very easy when you bat with Smriti because she's so calm and classy. I paid her to say that. When you're batting with Smriti, she's so elegant and free-flowing and technically correct that you don't feel like you have to overhit the ball. You watch her bat, and you're like, oh yeah, she can hit it there. Smriti was also in awe of the muscle power that Harris possesses and revealed that her opening partner loves to do commentary while batting. Well, it's very easy when you bat with Smriti because she's so calm and classy. I paid her to say that.

At DY Patil, if you tell me that we win the toss and we're going to restrict them to 150 odd, I mean, we'll take that any day. Going to chase 150 at this ground with the outfield it has, I just feel we're 15 to 20 runs ahead in the field. We have amazing fielding. Today's win is just about how good our execution was around the bowling, she added. Article Source: IANS

Harris Timing Was Impeccable; I Wondered What Line Or Length Could Stop Her: Mithali
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Former India captain Mithali Raj reserved praise for the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) opener Grace Harris after the Australians whirlwind knock helped her side claim a top-of-the-table victory in the Womens Premier League (WPL). Harris launched an impressive attack on her previous franchise, the UP Warriorz, hitting the ball all over the DY Patil Stadium. By the time she was dismissed, scoring 85 off 40 balls, RCB needed only seven more runs to win with 50 balls left. Mithali applauded Harris' match-winning blitz and lauded her shot execution. Grace Harris set the tone right from Deepti Sharmas first over, playing through the line and taking on the quicks fearlessly. Her timing was impeccable, and the power behind every executed shot was unreal. At one point, even we commentators wondered what line or length could stop her. Set and in full flow, she went berserk, finding gaps, boundaries and sixes with complete ease wherever the ball was bowled, she said on JioStar. Smriti Mandhana and Grace Harris's opening partnership propelled RCB to a top-of-the-table finish. Speaking of their partnership, she added, Grace Harris played her natural game aggressively, keeping fans on their toes with five maximums, while Smriti Mandhana played the perfect supportive role, scoring fluently through her chosen shots. As captain, Smriti will be delighted with this performance: the opening partnership, putting UPW in to bat, dismissing their top order early, and the bowlers delivering. Shed be thrilled both as a batter and leader with this complete team effort. Smriti Mandhana and Grace Harris's opening partnership propelled RCB to a top-of-the-table finish.

As a result, the 2024 champions cruised home with 7.5 overs to spare, underlining their batting firepower and overall dominance. Article Source: IANS

Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Head coach Abhishek Nayar explained that UP Warriorz's batting order change was due to opposition strategies after Kiran Navgire was moved down to No. 4, admitting that sending Harleen Deol to open against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) was a mistake, and he takes full responsibility for that. Harleens struggles with the bat have been evident in the past two games. She batted in the middle order in the teams campaign opener against Gujarat Giants, and was dismissed for a two-ball duck. In the recently concluded clash against RCB, she opened alongside skipper Meg Lanning and could manage only 11 runs off 14 deliveries before being sent packing by Lauren Bell. We felt that with the moving ball at that point, Harleen could add a bit of value in the powerplay. She's obviously technically correct. It didn't work out today. I felt it turned out to be the wrong decision. I take complete responsibility for it. But I think the thought process behind it was having some solidity up top and then hopefully having that power later on as the pitch gets better, because we anticipated a bit of swing initially. I thought those match-ups for Kiran Navgire in the middle would work. [But they] didn't work today. So I look foolish, Nayar told reporters at the post-match press conference. Navgire scored 1 run off 4 balls in UPW's 208-run chase against Gujarat Giants, while Deol was out for a duck in two balls. However, Phoebe Litchfield's 78, along with lower-order cameos, kept UPW competitive as they lost by only ten runs. One notable cameo was from Shweta Sehrawat, who made a 17-ball 25 with three sixes and a four. Batting at No. 6, she hit her first ball, bowled by Renuka Singh, for a six over extra cover. Speaking of Sehrawat, a top-order batter by nature, being slotted in the middle over while also being handed the wicketkeeping duties, Nayar said, For her career, I think it's a great step moving forward. Giving her the gloves, in my head, was a KL Rahul sort of move, where it brightens her chances of making it to the India squad, especially seeing that there aren't a lot of options. She's a tremendous batter with a lot of capability, power and flair. She has been working on a couple of shots, and we've seen that in practice matches and during her preparation. But it was good to see a sample size of it in a game. I have a lot more expectations from her through the season because I truly believe she has the potential to don the India colours and do exceedingly well. In 15 days of practice, she has been keeping to Sophie Ecclestone, Deepti Sharma and Asha. So with a little more keeping under her belt, I really feel she can be a great prospect for the Indian women's team. Against RCB, Deol struggled to score against Lauren Bell, facing nine dot balls during her 14-ball innings before mistiming a shot to mid-off. Navgire scored five off three balls before losing her wicket at deep midwicket. Her dismissal contributed to a collapse where UPW lost four wickets for 11 runs, dropping to 50/5. Deepti Sharma and Deandra Dottin then played carefully to carry the innings to a total of 143/5. Against RCB, Deol struggled to score against Lauren Bell, facing nine dot balls during her 14-ball innings before mistiming a shot to mid-off. Navgire scored five off three balls before losing her wicket at deep midwicket. Also Read: Live Cricket Score For me, in T20 cricket, the numbers after your top three don't really matter. The top three today was a call based on the opposition. Although I believe in having players play set roles, I also felt that today it didn't work out. But that doesn't mean Harleen can't do it, or that Kiran can't do it. It just didn't work out today. If she had scored 100, we'd be having a different conversation, Nayad added. Article Source: IANS

WPL 2026: The Way Everyone Bowled And Executed Plans Was Really Special To Watch, Says Mandhana
DY Patil Sports Academy: Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) captain Smriti Mandhana summed up her teams dominant night by calling it the best seat in the house as RCB registered a comprehensive nine-wicket win with 47 balls to spare over UP Warriorz in the Womens Premier League (WPL) 2026 at the Dr. DY Patil Sports Academy in Mumbai. It was the best seat in the house for me, Mandhana said after the match. The way everyone bowled and executed the plans was really special to watch. The captain reserved particular praise for Lauren Bell, who led the charge with the new ball. With 15 dot deliveries in the inning, Bell was outstanding and returned with a figure of 1/16. Lauren wasnt letting anyone touch the ball in the Power-play. Thats how you want to start your bowling innings after winning the toss, Mandhana said. Mandhana also pointed to tactical improvements from RCBs previous outing. We were not really on point in the first match in terms of the field sets. We executed the plans despite the left-right combination throughout the 20 overs, she said. In the chase, Mandhana played a supporting role as Grace Harris produced a breathtaking assault. All I need to do is take a single and give the strike to Grace Harris. Its her own thing to do. Shafali, Grace all these players you just have to give them a single, and they will do the job. RCBs decision to open the batting with Harris paid rich dividends, with the Australian smashing 85 off 40 balls in a record 137-run opening partnership.

WPL 2026: We Were Outplayed By RCB Tonight, Says UPW Skipper Lanning
DY Patil Sports Academy: UP Warriorz captain Meg Lanning admitted that her side was comprehensively outplayed by Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) as the latter cruised to a nine-wicket win with 47 balls to spare in their Womens Premier League (WPL) 2026 clash at the Dr. DY Patil Sports Academy in Navi Mumbai on Monday night. No, of course, not! We hoped to start with a win or two. We were outplayed by RCB tonight. Not our best night, Lanning said after the defeat. They bowled well up front and put us under pressure. Then never let us in the game with the bat. So, plenty to work for us. The good thing is that the games are coming thick and fast. So, we will move on pretty quickly. RCB's dominance in this match stemmed from a fine partnership between Smriti Mandhana and Grace Harris against UPW, both sharing an opening stand that was as fierce as they could be. The massive partnership allowed RCB to easily reach a modest target of 144 runs. Grace Harris smashed an incredible 85 runs off just 40 balls while Smriti Mandhana was not out on 47 at the time of the partnership. The two players' partnership of 137 runs for the first wicket of RCB became the highest opening partnership in the franchise's history, and the chase had already been effectively concluded before the end of the match; at the point when RCB lost their first wicket, the team only needed to score 7 runs off 74 balls to win the match. Lanning reserved special praise and frustration for Harris. Its pretty difficult when she gets going. She plays all around the ground and also showed how well she can play straight down the ground, she said. Once she gets into that rhythm, shes hard to stop. She has brute force. Unfortunately, she got going tonight. We couldnt stop her. Lanning admitted UP Warriorz never found momentum with the bat. With the bat, we never got going, unfortunately. We chewed too many dot balls up front, including me. We need to be better there, she said. Dont want to take anything from RCB. They bowled extremely well up front and never let us get away. RCB decided to bowl first, and their impressive opening bowlers dismantled the UP Warriorz top order and left them in danger of losing early. UP Warriorz made a late recovery thanks to Deepti Sharma (45 not out) and Deandra Dottin (40) after they built a partnership of 93 runs for the sixth wicket, which lifted their final score to 143 runs. The partnership also became the second-highest sixth-wicket partnership in WPL history. Lanning admitted UP Warriorz never found momentum with the bat.

WPL 2026: Deepti, Dottin Rescue Act Helps UP Warriorz Post 143/5 Against RCB
DY Patil Sports Academy: Former captain Deepti Sharma's rescue act of unbeaten 45 and Deandra Dottin's 40 not out helped UP Warriorz Women put up a score of 143/5 in 20 overs against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in the fifth match of the Women's Premier League (WPL) 2026 at the Dr. DY Patil Sports Academy in Navi Mumbai. UP Warriorz produced a remarkable recovery to reach 143 for 5 in 20 overs, clawing their way back from a precarious 50 for 5, thanks to a superb, unbeaten 93-run sixth-wicket partnership between Dottin and Deepti. After being asked to bat first, the Meg Lanning-led side started well with the bat but suffered an early setback courtesy of tight bowling from RCB bowlers. Harleen Deol (11), who was pushed up to open the innings with Meg Lanning (14), was unable to get going, while their captain also struggled early on to get into her innings. Phoebe Litchfield (20) batted with great intent early on, but then repeated last match's mistake and didn't match her quick start with more runs. The wheels came off quickly for UPW. Poor shot selection by Kiran Navgire (5) and Shweta Sehrawat (0) in the middle caused the team to lose its momentum, as they fell from 50/3 down to 50/5 and looked to be heading for an embarrassing total. However, momentum changed in Warriorz' favour as both Dottin (40 not out) and Deepti (45 not out) were able to absorb the pressure and counterattack in a controlled manner. Early in their innings, the two players took turns rotating the strike and punishing anything that wasn't on line before adding an unbeaten 93 runs together for the sixth wicket, which left UPW in a solid position to get a competitive total with 143/5 and something to bowl at for their bowlers. The stand also etched its place in WPL history. It became the second-highest sixth-wicket partnership in the league, behind only the 109-run unbroken stand between Poonam Khemnar and Deepti Sharma against Gujarat Giants in Delhi in 2024, and ahead of the 69-run partnership between Grace Harris and Deepti Sharma against RCB at the same venue in 2023. For RCB, Lauren Bell once again impressed with the new ball, returning figures of 1 for 16. Shreyanka Patil provided key breakthroughs by dismissing Meg Lanning and Phoebe Litchfield in the same over, though she proved expensive at the death to finish with 2 for 50. Nadine de Klerk created history by becoming the first bowler in WPL to take wickets with her first two deliveries, but she went wicketless thereafter and ended with 2 for 28. Linsey Smith and Arundhati Reddy were economical in their spells, rounding off an otherwise solid bowling effort. For RCB, Lauren Bell once again impressed with the new ball, returning figures of 1 for 16. Shreyanka Patil provided key breakthroughs by dismissing Meg Lanning and Phoebe Litchfield in the same over, though she proved expensive at the death to finish with 2 for 50.

Dr DY Patil Sports Academy: Royal Challengers Bengaluru won the toss and elected to field against UP Warriorz in the fifth match of the Women's Premier League (WPL) 2026 at the Dr DY Patil Sports Academy in Navi Mumbai on Monday. RCB included Gautami Naik in place of Prema Rawat, as the Warriorz have fielded the same playing XI as in the last match. RCB captain Smriti Mandhana said, We would like to field first today. We have seen dew coming in the latter half of the innings. The first match worked well for us. DY Patil has been a big chasing ground. Yesterday, DC could have chased that total down. Any total isn't good enough at DY Patil Stadium. It's always easy to know as a batting unit how much you are gonna get. Nadine (de Klerk) got us through in both departments, but in the tournaments like these, some players are going to stand out in some matches. It's about contribution, and we all really want to contribute in the top order as well. Looking forward to having new match winners in every match. We have one change, Gautami comes in for Prema, said Mandhana. UP Warriorz captain Meg Lanning said, We were going to have a chase as well, but the teams batting first have games this season. Regardless, we have to bat well. Hopefully, we do well with the bat, get off a good start, and post a good score. We did a lot of things right. We chased well. Kept ourselves in the game. We also bowled well in some patches. Good signs. Hopefully, we can take some confidence into this game. Having said that, we spent a good week together. Hopefully, we can improve a bit tonight and get a win. Same side tonight.

Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy: Ayush Badonis coach, Sarandeep Singh, said that the all-rounder had received a much-awaited India call-up for the ongoing ODI series against New Zealand, and revealed that the 26-year-old is ready to play international cricket right away given his top form across all departments. Badoni received his maiden ODI call-up on Monday, named as a replacement for Washington Sundar after the latter was ruled out of the remainder of the ongoing three-game series against the BlackCaps upon sustaining a strain to his left lower rib area. Badoni had been practising at the BCCI Centre of Excellence (CoE) in Bengaluru on Monday morning for Delhis upcoming Vijay Hazare Trophy match when he learned about the development and left his state team to join the national squad in Rajkot ahead of the second ODI on Wednesday. While Badoni will miss the crucial quarterfinal fixture against Vidarbha, scheduled for Tuesday, his coach was elated that the all-rounder had finally received his due by earning an ODI call. The practice was announced this morning, and we were practising at CoE in Bengaluru for the Vijay Hazare Trophy. Tomorrow we have a quarter-final, but he got a call for the Indian team. We are very, very happy for him because he deserved this call. And he has been performing for the last two years. Especially with the bat, and we say that mostly with the ball as well. He has improved his bowling a lot. So, he will be called an all-rounder going in place of Washington Sundar, who is injured, Sarandeep told IANS. Calling Badoni the perfect candidate to replace Sundar, Sarandeep added, We are very happy. He is a good lad. He is a strong contender. Even he knows, and we feel that, somehow, if somebody got injured, he would definitely get the call. And now, it's happening. Badonis coach also revealed that the Delhi cricketer had been waiting for quite some time to earn a call from the selectors, stating that his consistent form in domestic cricket helped him finally land the deal. He had been waiting for the last 1.5 to 2 years. He is performing really well. Actually, this season, if we look back, in the last season, when I gave him the opportunity to become Delhi's captain, he scored a double hundred against Jharkhand. That was in the Ranji Trophy. Then he did well in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy and the Vijay Hazare Trophy. In the first match of the season, the Duleep Trophy game, he scored a double hundred. So, that performance over the last 1.5 years has had our selectors looking at him all the time. Badonis coach also revealed that the Delhi cricketer had been waiting for quite some time to earn a call from the selectors, stating that his consistent form in domestic cricket helped him finally land the deal.
