WPL 2026: We'll Take All The Learnings From Today And Come Back Stronger, Says Mandhana
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Royal Challengers Bengaluru captain Smriti Mandhana said her side would take positives from their sevenwicket loss to Delhi Capitals, ending their unbeaten run in the 2026 Womens Premier League (WPL), stressing that the setback came at the right time before the playoffs. For sure, I mean, in tournaments like these, you take these losses before the playoffs. So, again, I think we did a lot of things right in the practice. We'll take all those positives and go ahead, and I mean, we've just played really good cricket, one off day today for all of us. So we'll take all the learnings from today and come back stronger, said Smriti Mandhana in the post-match presentation ceremony. Reflecting on conditions in Vadodara, Mandhana said, I feel the wicket is playing differently every day here in Baroda. In the last match we played, and in the other matches, it was quite low. Today, it was a little more spongy, I would say. So, I think we could not adapt to it. We all thought maybe 160, 170, maybe 140 plus was a good total. But again, I mean, credit to our bowlers. They fought really well. There are some things with our fielding and our batting, which we'll work on and make those right decisions, said Mandhana. She admitted her teams fielding fell short of their lofty expectations. I mean, as I said earlier, I think as a captain, I'll take it today rather than playoffs one odd day. We really pride ourselves on fielding well. So today's definitely something which we won't be really happy with as a team. I think this fielding performance should hit us in general for all the girls. But knowing our girls, they work really, really hard and I'm sure that they're going to come back harder, practice harder and come back next match and go out and field the best again, Mandhana added. She praised her bowlers for their intent despite defending a low total. The only thing I said batting out there today, whatever balls I faced, I was telling them that, of course, this is one of the toughest wickets we have got in the tournament, so really thought that three, four wickets in the powerplay or something like that would really give us a chance, so keep it really positive, simple. I think this fielding performance should hit us in general for all the girls. But knowing our girls, they work really, really hard and I'm sure that they're going to come back harder, practice harder and come back next match and go out and field the best again, Mandhana added. Also Read: Live Cricket Score Mandhana signed off by praising her newball pair of Lauren Bell and Sayali Satghare. Sayali's been brilliant for us in the Power-play, as well as Belly, I mean, both of them are making for a good combination in terms of one takes it out, one takes it in. Again, we started really, really well, but there's some few things we can definitely get better at in terms of taking those chances. But again, as I said, with this unit of girls, I'm extremely happy with the way they're working, and I'm sure they'll just work their way up. Article Source: IANS

WPL 2026: Delhi Capitals Kept Believing And Executing What We Planned, Says Jemimah Rodrigues
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Delhi Capitals skipper Jemimah Rodrigues praised her sides belief and execution of their plans after they ended Royal Challengers Bengalurus sixmatch winning streak in Women's Premier League (WPL) 2026 with a sevenwicket victory at the BCA Stadium in Vadodara on Saturday. A hundred percent, and credit goes to the team. I think one thing the team has kept doing is believing and executing what we planned. So I think it makes my job easier as a captain. It did (go to plan tonight). I think we were under a little pressure while Smriti was batting, too, but I think a brilliant catch and Mani coming in were the key. I think credit goes to her for how she bowled the way she did, even to a right-hander. I think that was great. Kappy being Kappy as always, but I think things just were really good, I would say. But we also worked hard to get this done. So I would give credit, a lot of credit to the girls, said Jemiah in the post-match presentation ceremony. She highlighted the teams approach of attacking the stumps rather than chasing wickets. We did have a discussion. Mani was anyway going to come on anyway, even if the timer was not on, because of the lefty. But I think we just kept talking about how we need to keep attacking the stumps, and don't worry too much about picking wickets, just attack the stumps, wickets will come. So I think that's what everyone did really well. Didn't think too much about the outcome because we knew today's game was very crucial. Every game is, but today was really crucial for us, given the form RCB are in. But I think we just stuck to our plans, sticks done. Sometimes, to win something, you have to lose. So I think that's one of those days, she added. Jemimah added that the victory reflected the resilience of her squad. But I think it also speaks a lot about the character of the girls. I strongly believe a champion team is a team that knows how to pick itself up after a fall. That's what this team has done, and I'm extremely, extremely proud of this team. We can enjoy the swing today, but again, when we come back, we're back to business. Keep things simple, keep executing, keep sticking to our processes, and the results will take care of themselves. Jemimah added that the victory reflected the resilience of her squad. But I think it also speaks a lot about the character of the girls. I strongly believe a champion team is a team that knows how to pick itself up after a fall. Also Read: Live Cricket Score But I think even learning from the mistakes of the past, like I remember that match, the last time we played RCB, I kept Kappy for later, just thinking what if we need it on deck. But today I was like, no, if she gets a wicket, then that happened. So I think that was my learning from there. So I think as long as you're learning, you can never make mistakes, if that makes sense. Article Source: IANS
WPL 2026: Nandni, Wolvaardt Star As Delhi Capitals End RCBs Unbeaten Run, Move To Second Place (ld)
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Nandni Sharma celebrated her selection into the India A squad for the Rising Womens Asia Cup by picking 3-26 while Laura Wolvaardt struck 42 not out as Delhi Capitals ended Royal Challengers Bengalurus unbeaten run through a seven-wicket victory in their 2026 Womens Premier League (WPL) game at the BCA Stadium in Vadodara on Saturday. On a slow pitch, Nandni stood out with her control and mastery of the slower ball to pick 13 wickets in the ongoing edition -- the most by an Indian pacer in WPLs history, as RCB were bowled out for 109. Apart from Nandni, Marizanne Kapp, Chinelle Henry, and Minnu Mani took two wickets each, while N. Sree Charani had a scalp as well in a disciplined bowling performance by DC. Chasing a modest target of 110, DC reached the finish line with 4.2 overs to spare, a result that lifted them to second place in the points table and boosted their Net Run Rate. Shafali Verma gave the chase early impetus before falling alongside Lizelle Lee in successive overs from pacer Sayali Satghare. Skipper Jemimah Rodrigues (24) and Laura steadied the innings with a composed 52-run stand. The duo took advantage of lapses in the field as RCB spilt catches and conceded boundaries through misfields. Though Jemimah departed before the chase ended, Marizanne Kapp (19 not out) joined Laura to complete the chase comfortably. RCB, already assured of a playoff berth, were outplayed in all departments on the night, finishing with 109 all out -- their lowest total of the season. DC, meanwhile, celebrated a second successive win to strengthen their push for entering the playoffs. Shafali gave Delhi a flying start in the opening over by striking three boundaries off Lauren Bell, as 16 runs came off it. But her dismissal in the second over, stumped off Sayali, checked DCs momentum. Two overs later, Lizelle also fell to Sayali as her slog-sweep was caught by deep backward square leg. Laura Wolvaardt and skipper Jemimah Rodrigues rebuilt steadily, adding runs through controlled strokes and capitalising on RCBs lapses in the field. Rodrigues was dropped twice while finding her rhythm with successive boundaries off Arundhati Reddy, while Laura kept the scoreboard ticking with singles and occasional fours. Though Jemimah was caught at extra cover off Radha Yadav, the Proteas duo of Marizanne and Laura ensured there were no further alarms. Marizanne struck clean boundaries off Lauren and Radha, while Laura launched a four and six each off Lauren and Georgia Voll. The chase was wrapped up in the 16th over when Marizanne swept Shreyanka Patil for four to seal a comprehensive win for DC and boost their net run rate. Previously, skipper Smriti Mandhana showed brief composure by top-scoring with a 34-ball 38, before falling after the first timeout. It triggered a collapse for RCB on a tricky surface, as they posted their lowest WPL total. Radha was the only other batter to offer resistance, but her dismissal in the 17th over sealed RCBs fate of making a below-par total, where three batters got into double figures. Inserted into batting first, Smriti and Grace Harris hit seven boundaries in 4.3 overs, before the latter was caught at backward point off a probing Marizanne. Smriti anchored the innings with six fours and a six, but her dismissal slog-sweeping to square leg off Minnu triggered a meltdown. Georgia and Gautami Naik fell in quick succession, after being castled by Marizanne and Charani respectively, before Richa Ghoshs attempted drive was brilliantly caught by Laura at backward point. At 78/5, RCB were in deep trouble, and Radha briefly lifted hopes of posting a competitive total with a straight six off Minnu. But her departure to Chinelle, after edging behind Lizelle, dashed all those hopes. After Chinelle took out Nadine de Klerk, Nandni then took charge in the closing overs by trapping Arundhati Reddy lbw, removing Shreyanka with a slower ball, and castling Sayali to finish with a well-deserved three-fer. Georgia and Gautami Naik fell in quick succession, after being castled by Marizanne and Charani respectively, before Richa Ghoshs attempted drive was brilliantly caught by Laura at backward point.

WPL 2026: Nandni Sharma Takes 3-26 As Sensational DC Bowl Out RCB For 109
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Nandni Sharma starred with figures of 3-26 as Delhi Capitals produced a sensational bowling display to dismiss Royal Challengers Bengaluru for just 109 in their 2026 Womens Premier League (WPL) game at the BCA Stadium in Vadodara on Saturday.

WPL 2026: Henry, Minnu Come In As Delhi Capitals Elect To Bowl First Against RCB, Arundhati Is Back
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Delhi Capitals (DC) have brought in Chinelle Henry and Minnu Mani as they won the toss and elected to bowl first against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in their 2026 Womens Premier League clash at the BCA Stadium in Vadodara on Saturday. Table-toppers RCB are already assured of a playoff berth, and a sixth win on the trot will help them skip the Eliminator and secure a direct passage to the final. DC, meanwhile, are chasing to strengthen their push for the knockouts, and a win will brighten that. After winning the toss, RCB captain Smriti Mandhana said seam-bowling all-rounder Arundhati Reddy is fit, and she comes in for Prema Rawat. We were looking at the field. We definitely thought about it (what to do). With the wind around today, we dont expect as much dew as the previous games, and when its windy, the dew tends to settle less, she said. So batting first was certainly in our minds. But the way this tournament has gone, we seem to keep losing the toss - thats just how its been. Very important (qualifying for the finals). Weve had good practice sessions, and everyone even turned up for the optional training, which says a lot about the group. As a captain and support staff, thats really pleasing. Were starting to look like a really good unit, she added. Delhi Capitals' skipper Jemimah Rodrigues said Chinelle Henry and Minnu Mani come in for Lucy Hamilton and Deeya Yadav, who have been ruled out of WPL due to a back injury. Under lights, the ball will skid on, and the dew also will come on. It does look a bit fresher and seems to come on nicely off the bat, but from what weve seen and read, it should still stay a little low. So I dont think the game plan changes too much. The youngsters bring a lot of energy, but everything is new for them. We try to share our experience and feed off their enthusiasm - it works both ways, and its been great, she said.

RCB-W vs DC-W, Match 15, Cricket Tips :It has been a dream run for Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the WPL 2026, as they have kept their top position intact and also become the first team to qualify for the playoffs. But their next target will be to make it to the final by finishing the league stage at the top of the table. They are scheduled to take on the three-time finalist, Delhi Capitals, in the next game of the season. This contest has a scheduled start of 7:30 PM IST on Saturday at BCA Stadium. DC-W will not be an easy opponent. The way they outplayed Mumbai Indians in the previous game, Jemimah Rodrigues and her team will be high on confidence.

RCB-W vs DC-W: Head-to-Head in WPL Total Matches : 8 Royal Challengers Bengaluru Women : 3 Delhi Capitals Women : 5 No-Result : 0 RCB-W vs DC-W: Ground Pitch Report The wicket is pretty flat, and bowlers have very little help from the wicket. The fast bowlers can get some swing when the ball is new, and spinners can grip the ball when they ball slow. For bowlers, the use of slower ones and cutters will be more useful. The chasing team will benefit from this wicket. RCB-W vs DC-W: Possible XIs Royal Challengers Bengaluru : Smriti Mandhana (c), Grace Harris, Georgia Voll, Radha Yadav, Nadine de Klerk, Richa Ghosh (wk), Gautami Naik, Prema Rawat, Shreyanka Patil, Sayali Satghare, Lauren Bell Delhi Capitals : Laura Wolvaardt, Shafali Verma, Lizelle Lee (wk), Marizanne Kapp, Jemimah Rodrigues (c), Niki Prasad, Lucy Hamilton, Deeya Yadav, Sneh Rana, Shree Charani, Nandni Sharma RCB-W vs DC-W: Player to Watch Out For Probable Best Batter Smriti Mandhana scored 96 off 61 last time when these two teams met. She will be looking for something similar here. For DC-W, the form of Lizelle Lee will be key. She scores quickly. Probable Best Bowler Lauren Bell has become the go-to bowler for RCB-W, and she has taken the challenge and performed well. For DC-W, Nadani Sharma has been pretty good and has taken most wickets for her team. Today Match Prediction : Both teams have a good combination but RCB-W are in good form and their bowling unit is the reason, we predict them to beat DC-W on Saturday.
