WPL 2026: Devine Weaves Magic With Bat And Ball As GG Beat DC By Four Runs
Dr DY Patil Stadium: Blazing half-centuries by Lizelle Lee (85 off 54) and Laura Wolvaardt (77 off 38) went in vain as Sophie Devine produced a sensational final over after hitting a majestic 42-ball 95 to help Gujarat Giants beat Delhi Capitals by four runs in a thrilling Match 4 of Women's Premier League (WPL) 2026 in Navi Mumbai on Sunday. After Lee had laid the foundation, Wolvaardt raised 59 runs for the fourth wicket with skipper Jemimah Rodrigues to drag Delhi Capitals to the verge of victory, needing just seven off the last six balls of the match. But Devine kept her nerve and claimed the crucial wickets of Rodrigues and Wolvaardt to concede only two runs in the final over to secure a memorable victory at the Dr DY Patil Stadium. Devine had earlier hammered 95 in a brilliant display of power-hitting, but Delhi Capitals' young bowler Nandani Sharma claimed five wickets, including a last-over hat-trick to restrict Gujarat Giants to 209 all out. In response, Devine was again in the thick of action as the Delhi Capitals were restricted to 205/5 to fall narrowly short. This was the Gujarat Giants' second win in as many matches, while Delhi Capitals slumped to their second successive defeat. Delhi Capitals, who opted to bowl first, mounted the biggest chase in WPL history with confidence and went into the last over needing seven runs from six balls. But Devine wove her magic as she claimed the wickets of Jemimah Rodrigues, via DRS, and Laura Wolvaardt (77) as she conceded only two runs, as she held her nerves to script a memorable victory for Gujarat Giants in a last-ball thriller. Chasing a stiff target of 210 runs to win their first match of the season, Delhi Capitals made a sedate start, with Shafali Verma and Lizelle Lee raising 41 runs for the first wicket partnership. Shafali was the first to get out, playing a shot too many before she was bowled by Rajeshwari Gayakwad. Lee kept the Delhi Capitals in the hunt as she scored a blazing 86 off 54 balls, studded with 12 fours and three sixes. Lee and Laura Wolvaardt raised 90 runs for the second wicket partnership in quick time, initially milking the bowling before unleashing some superb shots. Lee reached her fifty off 33 balls, hitting eight fours and two sixes. Just when it looked like Lee would race to her century, Kashvee Gautam thwarted her, getting her to hole out to Sophie Devine at the long-on fence. But Wolvaardt kept the Delhi Capitals in the hunt despite losing Chinelle Henry (7). She added 59 runs for the fourth wicket with Jemimah Rodrigues (15), reaching her fifty off 29 balls as she dragged Delhi Capitals on the verge of victory. Wolvaardt blasted Ashleigh Gardner for three fours and a six to score 19 runs in the massive 18th over to take them from 48 in 18 balls to 29 in 12. They needed seven from the last over, but there was one last twist in the match. Devine bowled a sensational last over and took two wickets, including Wolvaardt, which put paid to Delhi Capitals' hopes and secured a memorable victory for the Giants.

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.

Sophie Devine Hammers 32 Runs Off Sneh Rana For The Most-expensive Over In WPL History
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Gujarat Giants' Sophie Devine hammered two fours and four sixes off Sneh Rana of Delhi Capitals in the sixth over of Match 4 to score 32 runs and make it the most expensive over ever in the history of the Women's Premier League (WPL) at the Dr. D.Y. Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai on Sunday. New Zealand all-rounder Devine exploded into action in the sixth over of their match against Delhi Capitals, hitting boundaries off the first two balls and then hammering four successive sixes, leaving Rana and Delhi Capitals shellshocked. This turned out to be the most expensive over ever bowled in the history of WPL, surpassing the 28 runs that Deepti Sharma of UP Warriorz had conceded in a match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru in WPL 2025. Ironically, Deepti was taken to the cleaners by Sneh Rana herself, blasting three sixes and two fours in the over that included a no-ball. This is the second time that Sophie Devine has scored 32 in an over against Rana. According to ESPNCricinfo, previously, she did that in a T20I against Rana. In the process of scoring the most runs in an over, Devine raced to her fifty off 25 balls and also helped Gujarat Giants post 80 for no loss in the six-over Power-play.

WPL: 'MI's Fortunes Rest Heavily On Nat Sciver-Brunt,' Opines Mithali
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Former India captain Mithali Raj shared her thoughts on the Mumbai Indians' (MI) two experienced players, Harmanpreet Kaur and Nat Sciver-Brunt, stepping up with the bat to help secure the win against the Delhi Capitals (DC) after their defeat to the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in the thrilling WPL opener. MI sealed a commanding 50-run win over DC, backed by a dominant batting display and a clinical bowling effort led by Amelia Kerr (3-24) and Nicola Carey (3-37). Captain Harmanpreet was named Player of the Match for spearheading MIs batting with a blistering 74 not out off 32 balls, while Sciver-Brunts composed 70 off 46 deliveries powered Mumbai Indians to an imposing 195/4. From the time she walked in, she was timing the ball well. She didnt take many deliveries to get her eye in. She continued from where she left off on Friday, scoring those 30-odd runs, and the shots she played were very clean, Mithali said on Harmanpreet's knock in JioStar. The bat swing, how she picked the length, she was playing in the areas she was targeting, and she picked her bowlers as well when the spinners came on. That one big over from Minnu Mani, although boundaries were hit by Nat Sciver-Brunt, both of them picked up momentum there. There was a shift in the game, and from then on, she was playing shots at will, she added. Further speaking on Sciver-Brunt's knock and her role in the Mumbai Indians line-up, Mithali added, When it comes to her form, she might have a couple of quiet games, but you know there is always a big innings coming from her. When she walked in, the approach and intent she showed suggested she wanted to contribute to the team. She didnt do that in the last game, but as a unit, Mumbai Indians were aware that if they wanted to get across the line, she had to come good. The fortunes of Mumbai Indians rest heavily on her. When she does well, everybody else around her just gets going. Defending 195, MI bowlers delivered a disciplined performance that mirrored their batters' dominance. The pressure was applied early when Sciver-Brunt struck in the opening exchanges, removing Lizelle Lee for 10. Nicola Carey then struck twice, dismissing Shafali Verma (8) and Laura Wolvaardt (9). Soon after, skipper Jemimah Rodrigues departed cheaply, leaving DC reeling at 35/4 at the end of the powerplay. Chinelle Henry, however, kept DCs hopes alive despite losing partners at the other end and raised her second WPL fifty. Her innings ended at 56(33) when Amelia Kerr delivered the final blow to DCs hopes, wrapping up the DC innings for 145 and sealing a convincing 50-run victory, their first win of the 2026 season. Reflecting on DC's collapse in contrast to MI's batting display, Mithali said, Two seniors stood up in the middle order for Mumbai Indians, and when you have a run chase like that, you want a good powerplay. You want Shafali Verma and Lizelle Lee to give you the sort of start that is required, and then you have players like Laura Wolvaardt and Jemimah Rodrigues to follow. The top five couldnt really put even a hundred runs on the board, and that is something Delhi Capitals will be very disappointed with.

Also Read: Live Cricket Score I think Nicola Carey bowled perfect deliveries for those two types of players, where you want to beat them on the inside edge. So, it was really clear in terms of planning from Mumbai Indians bowlers, and the execution was pinpoint in comparison to Friday against RCB, including the key moments like the catch from Kamalini to dismiss Jemimah Rodrigues. We saw a number of dropped catches on Friday that potentially shifted the game. So I think it was those quick improvements and a positive shift in attitude, she added. Article Source: IANS
'Ive Been Lucky Enough To Find My Way', Says Nicola Carey On WPL Opportunity
Nicola Carey: Mumbai Indians all-rounder Nicola Carey has quickly made a strong impression in her maiden Womens Premier League season, stepping into the playing XI following Hayley Matthews injury and delivering composed, match-winning performances with both bat and ball. Carey impressed in her first two outings for the franchise, contributing at number five with the bat and bowling effectively in the powerplay. The all-rounder has taken five wickets and scored 61 runs in two matches. She reflected on her unexpected opportunity and the learning curve in the WPL after her match-winning performance against the Delhi Capitals. Acknowledging that her inclusion came due to Matthews absence, at the post-match press conference, Carey said she was realistic about her position in the squad. That would be very fair to say that I wouldnt be starting had Hayley beean there. Ive been lucky enough to find my way into the team, sadly, because Hayley has a niggle. Shes not too far off, and it would be nice to get her back, Carey said, adding that Amelia Kerr had to adjust her role at the top of the order in Matthews absence. Speaking about her mindset as a backup player, Carey said preparation remained unchanged despite the uncertainty. If you look at the other overseas players in this lineup, they are world-class. I was under no illusions about where I sat. I just prepared how I would go into a game. Sometimes you have last-minute changes, and thats just the nature of these competitions, she said. Carey also shared her excitement about experiencing the WPL environment, praising the atmosphere and the opportunity to learn from top players. The crowd has been amazing. Its been wild. Playing alongside players like Harmanpreet Kaur and watching how they go about things has been really cool. Youre always learning in different conditions with different players and coaches, she noted. Reflecting on her improvement from the previous game, she said she made small adjustments after a difficult start. I had to bowl it into the wicket a little more. You learn from games, and I was lucky I could take something away from the last one, she explained.
