WPL 2026: Just Bowled At Wickets, Did Not Expect A Hat-trick, Says Delhi Capitals' Nandani Sharma

DY Patil Stadium: Delhi Capitals' Nandani Sharma on Sunday etched her name into the annals of Indian cricket history by becoming the first uncapped player to claim a hat-trick in the Women's Premier League (WPL). The 24-year-old right-handed medium pacer from Chandigarh achieved the feat in a sensational final over of the match, bagging three wickets off the last three overs of the innings against Gujarat Giants at Dr. DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai. She claimed her maiden five-wicket haul in WPL, ending her four-over spell with a four-wicket final over for figures of 4-0-33-5. Match 4 of WPL 2026 was looking like it was going Gujarat Giants' way with opener Sophie Devine blazing to 95 off 42 balls, putting on display majestic power-hitting, hammering 32 runs in one over bowled by Sneh Rana, making it the most expensive over ever bowled in WPL. But Nandani turned the match on its head by claiming her maiden five-wicket haul. After sending back Sophie Devine, getting her caught by Shree Charani, and then came the sensational 20th over of the match. Nandani started with the wicket of Kashvee Gautam off the second ball of the over, and after Tanuja Kanwar took a single off the third ball, claimed the wickets of Kanika Ahuja, Rajeshwari Gayakwad, and Renuka Thakur in the next three balls to claim a memorable hat-trick. Nandani thus joined Issy Wong, Deepti Sharma, and Grace Harris as the bowlers to take hat-tricks in the WPL. After achieving her feat, Nandani, who claimed 2-26 in her WPL debut match against the Mumbai Indians on Saturday, claimed the Purple Cap, adorned by the player with the highest wickets. Nandani said she did not expect such drama when she was asked to bowl the last over. Asked what her plan for the last over was, Nandani said she only wanted to bowl at the target as advised by her senior teammates Shafali Verma and skipper Jemimah Rodrigues. Rodrigues showed immense confidence in Nandani, and the bowler repaid it with a superb performance. I wanted to just bowl at my target. They (Shafali and Jemi) were talking to me every ball, and that was my plan (to bowl at the stumps). I did not expect it (a hat trick), but the team told me I could get wickets, Nandani told the broadcasters in the mid-innings break. The right-handed medium-pace bowling all-rounder said she turned to her variations on realising that the batters were hitting her stock ball. She was struck back-to-back boundaries by Sophie Devine in her first over and had the last laugh by claiming the wicket of the explosive opener, getting her caught by Shree Charani. After my first over, I noticed that they were hitting my stock ball well. After that, I bowled my variations, and thankfully, it worked, she added.

WPL 2026: Nandani Sharma's Hat-trick After Devine's 95 Helps DC Restrict GG To 209

DY Patil Stadium: Sophie Devine blazed to a 42-ball 95 and Ashleigh Gardner hammered 49 off 26 balls but Delhi Capitals' uncapped medium pacer Nandani Sharma bagged her maiden fifer, including a last-over hat-trick to dismiss Gujarat Giants for 209 in Match 4 of Women's Premier League (WPL) 2026 at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai on Sunday. Devine set the tone for the sensational clash with brilliant hitting, scoring her fifty off 25 balls, and Gardner provided some late flourish before Nandani Sharma served to add to the drama by bowling a magical 20th and last over, claiming four wickets, including a hat-trick off the last three balls of the innings, to pull things back for Delhi Capitals. Nandani Sharma (5-33) claimed her maiden five-wicket haul while Shree Charani and Chinelle Henry bagged two wickets apiece to apply the brakes to the GG innings. Asked to bat first by DC skipper Jemimah Rodrigues, Gujarat Giants were off to a blazing start with Sophie Devine and Beth Mooney hammering 94 runs for the first-wicket partnership in just eight overs. Mooney scored a 16-ball 19, but Devine was in divine form on Sunday and came up with one of her most memorable knocks. Devine was in devastating form as she took all the bowlers to the cleaners, starting with a four off Chinelle Henry on the first ball of the second over, and ended the over with another four edged through the vacant slips. She struck back-to-back fours off Nandini Sharma in her first over and swung the young bowler over her head for her first six of the match. Then came the most expensive over from Rana as the 36-year-old New Zealander hammered Sneh Rana for two fours and four sixes for 32 run over as she raced to fifty off 25 balls. Devine welcomed Rana into the attack with a four off her pads on the first ball of the over, powering it through the mid-wicket. She was dropped off the second ball by Marizanne Kapp, and the ball rolled to the cover-point boundary. Devine then went on a six-hitting spree, dancing down to a slower one and launching it over long-on, clearing her foot to the fourth delivery to smoke it over cow corner as she reached 50. On the fifth ball, Devine gets down on one knee and clubs the half-volley over deep mid-wicket, and followed that up by dispatching a full toss over the deep mid-wicket boundary. The New Zealand all-rounder was at it again by blasting three sixes in an over off N Shree Charani in the 9th over. She fell five runs short of a well-deserved century, getting out for 95 off 42 balls, caught by Shree Charani off Nandani Sharma. Devine's highest score in WPL is 99 not out, which she scored in the first season. Delhi Capitals pulled things back a bit as Georgia Wareham (3), Anushka Sharma (13), and Bharti Fulmali (3) failed to contribute much. However, GG skipper Ashleigh Gardner smashed a 26-ball 49, hitting four boundaries and three sixes to give the innings some late flourish. However, there was more drama stored in the match as Delhi Capitals' Nandani Sharma etched her name into the history books by becoming the fourth bowler to claim a hat-trick in the WPL. She claimed the wickets of Kanika Ahuja (4), Rajeshwari Gayakwad (0), and Renuka Singh (0) to claim a hat-trick in a four-wicket last over and join Issy Wong, Deepti Sharma, and Grace Harris as the bowlers to take three-in-three in WPL. She had earlier claimed the crucial wicket of Gardner and Kashvee Gautam (14) as she claimed her maiden five-wicket haul, claiming 5-33 in her four-over spell that pulled things back for Delhi Capitals. The 24-year-old medium pacer from Chandigarh became the first uncapped bowler to claim a half-trick in WPL history.
