We are enjoying everyone's success and all the players are happy for the team, she added Sayali went unsold at the WPL 2026 mega auction but got an opportunity with RCB when their star all-rounder Ellyse Perry withdrew from the tournament, citing personal reasons.

WPL 2026: Really Special To Get That Opportunity And Be Out There, Says DCs Lucy Hamilton On Debut
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: 19-year-old Lucy Hamilton said that getting her Womens Premier League (WPL) debut cap from the Delhi Capitals was eally special and her aim heading into the game was to stay calm, back her strengths, and do the best that she can for the team. The Australian began her WPL career strongly, making a notable lower-order contribution in her debut for DC during their match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai on Saturday. After slipping to 10 for 4, Delhi Capitals faced early pressure but displayed resilience to recover and reach a competitive total of 166. Opener Shafali Verma spearheaded the comeback with a steady 62 off 41 balls. Meanwhile, Hamilton, batting at number nine, added vital late runs with a brisk 36 off 19 balls, including three fours and three sixes, helping the Capitals set a defendable target. Reflecting on her debut appearance and contributing under pressure, Hamilton said, It was really special to get that opportunity and be out there for my first game. Obviously, making your debut is always a big moment, and from where we were early on, the message was just to keep fighting and take it as deep as we possibly could. I was just trying to stay calm, back my strengths and do whatever I could for the team in that situation. Talking about her collaboration with Shafali Verma during her recovery, the left-arm fast bowler added, With Shafali, it was mainly about clear communication and rotating the strike. She was striking the ball incredibly well, so the plan was to get her on strike as much as possible and just support her at the other end. From being 10 for 4 to putting up a total like that showed a lot of character and fight from the group. Hamilton shared her experience playing in the WPL and adapting to Indian conditions said, Its been a really exciting experience so far. Conditions here are definitely a bit different compared to Australia, so adapting has been important. Training has helped a lot in understanding how precise you need to be with your lines and lengths, especially with slightly smaller grounds and good batting surfaces. Its about making things as challenging as you can for the batters. Delhi Capitals couldn't defend the total on the night as Royal Challengers Bengaluru successfully chased the total, but Hamilton believes there were positives to take away.

WPL 2026: Theyve Basically Qualified, Couldnt Ask For A Better Start, Says Kate Cross On RCBs Form
DY Patil Sports Academy: 2024 champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) are in red-hot form in the 2026 edition of the Womens Premier League (WPL), and the teams former pacer Kate Cross believes that theyre just moments away from qualifying for the playoffs heading into the Vadodara leg of the tournament. Smriti Mandhana fell heartbreakingly short of a maiden WPL century, but her commanding 96 set up Royal Challengers Bengalurus (RCB) emphatic eight-wicket win over Delhi Capitals, as RCB made it four wins in as many matches to remain unbeaten at the top of the WPL 2026 points table at the Dr. DY Patil Sports Academy. With action now shifting to Vadodara and all teams eyeing to finish in the top three, RCB sit comfortably at the top of the points table with a good lead over their competitors. That first win against MI was a bit scratchy for RCB, as they found a way of almost losing that game, if it wasnt for Nadine de Klerk. But since then, theyve been a class above every other team in this tournament. To start the Navi Mumbai leg unbeaten and then head to Vadodara puts Smriti Mandhana and Co in a perfect position. Theyve basically qualified, and you couldnt ask for a better start to the tournament, especially with a new group. They lost Ellyse Perry after she pulled out, obviously, so Smriti Mandhana must be thinking this is the easiest job in the world, Cross said of RCB's dream start to the WPL. Speaking on Mandhana's match-winning 96-run knock against Delhi Capitals in the recently concluded game, Cross said, Ive always said a strong RCB is when Smriti is scoring runs, and shes had a good start to the tournament. Im so disappointed she couldnt get that hundred in this match and finally put to bed that jinx around the first hundred. But when it does come, its going to be special. She played her best innings today. She looked comfortable at the crease; even after they lost Grace Harris quite early, it didnt faze her. She just went about her business and put on a masterclass. She was outstanding. That first win against MI was a bit scratchy for RCB, as they found a way of almost losing that game, if it wasnt for Nadine de Klerk.

DY Patil Sports Academy: Shafali Verma displayed a batting masterclass, scoring 62 off 41 deliveries, as Lucy Hamilton and Sneh Rana came up with handy contributions to lift Delhi Capitals to a fighting total of 166 against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in the 11th match of the Women's Premier League (WPL) 2026, here at the Dr. DY Patil Sports Academy.

After Smriti Mandhana won the toss and chose to bowl, Royal Challengers Bengaluru started strong. Lauren Bell made an impressive start, taking out Lizelle Lee and Laura Wolvaardt in the first over, leaving DC in trouble. The situation worsened when Sayali Satghare, playing in place of Ellyse Perry, marked her RCB debut in the WPL with a remarkable double-wicket over, dismissing Jemimah Rodrigues and Marizanne Kapp on consecutive balls. With wickets falling quickly, DC faced serious challenges during the powerplay and middle overs. Shafali Verma revived the innings with an aggressive approach. She took the fight to the RCB bowlers and put together a crucial 59-run partnership for the fifth wicket with Niki Prasad, helping to stabilize the innings while keeping the runs coming. Shafali then joined Sneh Rana for an important 34-run partnership for the seventh wicket, preventing DC from losing all momentum. Along the way, Shafali reached her seventh WPL half-century, eventually scoring 62 runs off 41 balls. Lucy Hamilton provided a late boost with a quick 36 runs off just 19 balls, helping DC surpass the 150-run mark and move toward a competitive total.
