WPL 2026: Jemimah Will Take Opportunity Of Leading DC With Both Hands, Says Marizanne Kapp
South Africans Laura Wolvaardt: Veteran South African seam-bowling all-rounder Marizanne Kapp has thrown her full support behind the appointment of Jemimah Rodrigues as Delhi Capitals (DC) skipper for WPL 2026, adding that she had long identified the Indian batter as captaincy material. With Meg Lanning, who led DC in the first three seasons, moving to become UP Warriorz skipper, Jemimah will take over as the sides captain for the new season starting on January 9. I'm not going to lie. Losing Meg as a captain is obviously a big thing. She's a very successful captain, not only for DC but in world cricket in general. But in saying that, I mentioned a couple of years ago, when they asked me who should be India's next captain, I actually said Jemimah. I feel like she's one of those players who can bring a team together, just with her personality and a caring factor due to the way she is. I feel like she's always been a leader, Marizanne told reporters in a select virtual roundtable on Monday. She also stated that highly experienced international campaigners will help Jemimah navigate the leadership journey. Look, for a new captain, there will be challenges, but so it will be for any captain. Even if you are an experienced captain, there will always be challenges. I feel like Jemimah has a lot of senior players around her. We still have a lot of players here that have been here before. I mean, management is still the same. So she has a lot of support if she does struggle. But I believe Jemimah will take this opportunity with both hands and I think she'll be very successful, she added. DC have endured the frustration of reaching three consecutive WPL finals without claiming the title. When asked about the repeated near-misses, Marizanne pointed to a combination of circumstances and subpar performances on the big day costing them title wins. I don't think it's a case of pressure. Every single game you go into, there's pressure to perform. I think we've done so well over the past three years. I feel like at some stages, it was just a bit of bad luck. I mean, that first season, I think we lost three wickets with full tosses that on any other day could have ended up being no balls. Then second year, it was probably the slowest wicket we played on. With us being more of a pace attack, it probably didn't suit our bowlers too much or our batters, to be honest. So I it's a mixed bag of bad luck and us not playing too well, and not having our best days in the finals. But I wouldn't say it's a case of not being able to cope with the pressure, she added. The presence of fellow South Africans Laura Wolvaardt and Lizelle Lee has added more sheen to the DC contingent, said Marizanne. It's been good to have some of the South Africans over especially. I was so excited for them to be in this environment. The DC environment has probably been the best I've ever played in any league. It's just a wonderful group of players and management. I was so excited for them to experience this as well. The way we are being treated in this team is just absolutely next level and looking forward to the season ahead. We also have people like Kingy (Alana King) and (Chinelle) Henry coming in and they are people we know quite well. Everyone's just getting along so well and seeming to fit in so easily, she said. Marizanne spoke glowingly about the WPL's significance for women's cricket, drawing a direct link between the league and India's historic ODI World Cup victory. I think people don't always understand how important these leagues are for women's cricket, especially the WPL. You saw now, India won their first cricket World Cup, the first in a very long time. So I think that already shows you what an impact it has had on not only women's cricket, but on Indian cricket as well. The WPL has specifically enhanced Marizannes batting aggression, a necessity given her role in the batting order. For me on a personal level, I feel like my game would have never grown the way it has if it wasn't for these leagues. I mean, even seeing some of these youngsters coming through the ranks, it's thanks to the leagues like WPL. Probably the aggressive nature within my batting. My role and where I come in, I don't always necessarily get as much time to bat. So it's almost like you have to make every ball count. My entry point within games has allowed me to just come in and be a bit more aggressive. So I feel like that's definitely an area of my game where I've improved and where the WPL has been so special to me. I think it's just the general pressures of playing in India and playing on these wickets. It's not always easy, especially with the ball. The challenging Indian conditions have also fortified her mental resilience when coming out to bat. So you are put under so much pressure because batters come after you as a bowler and it's not very easy to bowl here. It's just developing that almost grit to just stay within the fight and not give up. You almost have to accept that you're going to probably go for a bit of runs, but it's just staying in the fight and backing your ability. Marizanne signed off by highlighting that fast bowlers have demonstrated their match-winning capabilities, despite difficult conditions on offer in all three WPL seasons. Look, it's a challenge. I'm not going to lie. Everyone knows it's not easy bowling in India. But I think the past three years has actually showed you what an important role pace bowlers still play. I feel like, yes, your spinners are important. The challenging Indian conditions have also fortified her mental resilience when coming out to bat. So you are put under so much pressure because batters come after you as a bowler and it's not very easy to bowl here. It's just developing that almost grit to just stay within the fight and not give up. You almost have to accept that you're going to probably go for a bit of runs, but it's just staying in the fight and backing your ability. Also Read: Live Cricket Score I feel like, again, playing in these leagues, especially in the WPL, where it's very tough to be a pace bowler, it just develops you as not only a cricketer, but as a person as well, because you have to have a bit of grit about you and a bit of fight, because it's definitely not easy bowling in these conditions.

Marizanne Kapp Credits WPL For Accelerating Growth Of Indian Domestic Players
Veteran South Africa: Veteran South Africa seam-bowling all-rounder Marizanne Kapp has lauded the Women's Premier League (WPL) for accelerating the growth of young Indian cricketers since its inception in 2023. With experience across playing in multiple franchise T20 tournaments worldwide, Marizanne is uniquely positioned to assess the impact of WPL, through her time of interacting with young players at Delhi Capitals (DC) since 2023. I think just in general, if you look at the WPLs first year, it was probably mainly your internationals performing and your Indian international players performing well. From years two and three, you could already see there was a bigger impact from the domestic players, and I think that's the beauty of these leagues. Like at first, especially if you're not used to international cricket or playing against international players, it can be difficult at times. Then I feel like once these youngsters actually start playing with international cricketers and they realise, Hey, I can still perform against the best in the world, it just gives them a different level of confidence and I think you see that throughout the performances of the domestic players. So there's no specific thing like batting, bowling or fielding, I can mention. I think it's just in general, we've seen a lot more match-winning performances from domestic players, Marizanne told IANS in a select media roundtable ahead of the new WPL season starting on January 9. Asked about maintaining consistency in the notoriously unpredictable T20 format, Marizanne suggested there's no one-size-fits-all approach, with success dependent on individual playing styles and self-awareness. I think it's a bit of both, to be honest. It depends on what type of player you are, especially as a batter. You have people who actually perform better when they just go out and trust their instincts and just see ball, hit ball. Then you have your other, say, stroke players that need a bit of time to get themselves set and then go at it. So, I think it's different for everyone. But obviously, the more you get to play it, you learn a lot about yourself. I feel like even if you have to compare my own career, like ODI cricket by now, I know exactly how I want to structure my game, training, innings, when I'm batting or bowling, she said. Despite her wealth of experience accumulated since 2009, Marizanne admitted T20 cricket still continues to present fresh challenges and learning opportunities for her. With T20 cricket, even me at this age, I'm still learning a lot about myself. So, I think it's different in every league and every wicket you play on and probably just about adapting and being a bit smarter. With the advent of T20 leagues, Marizanne candidly acknowledged the physical toll of the demanding schedule leading to changes in her training and recovery regimen, especially the move towards maintenance-focused exercises. Look, it's not always been easy. I'm not going to lie. The body is sore, and a bit sore some days, but I've really worked hard. So in the past, for example, before I would put in extremely hardwork and by the time I get to two pm, I'd hardly do any gym sessions and just focus on cricket mainly. With the advent of T20 leagues, Marizanne candidly acknowledged the physical toll of the demanding schedule leading to changes in her training and recovery regimen, especially the move towards maintenance-focused exercises. Also Read: Live Cricket Score So I moved away from lifting heavy weights. Everything is more about maintenance now and just keeping the smaller areas, body parts conditioned. I would say that's probably been my main focus, she concluded. Article Source: IANS

One of the most appealing aspects of Lizelle being acquired by DC in last years mega auction has been the prospect of her reuniting with former South Africa teammates Marizanne Kapp and Laura Wolvaardt. The thought of being spared Marizannes fierce bowling drew a playful sigh of relief from Lizelle, even as the prospect of batting alongside Laura brought a gentle warmth in her voice. It's amazing. Look, I didn't think I'll play with them again in the same team. So, it's pretty cool to have them in the same team again and it's going to be great not to bat against Kapp for a change and that's going to be awesome. I've had a few net sessions with Laura Wolvaardt now and it's been good that we've reunited because we haven't batted again with each other in about four years. It's pretty cool to have them here. It's been a very long time since we (Laura and me) have played together. So, I'm just looking forward to it, she said. Lizelle's batting has long been synonymous with power-hitting, and the ability to hit boundaries effortlessly making her a force to reckon with. It's just something that happened naturally. But over the years, it's maybe evolved a little bit, and changed with the game. Sometimes it's not just all about the power, but it's like how you can manipulate the game, field and those sort of things. So, I'm just trying to evolve with the game, and hopefully I can continue that for a few more years, she said. It has also been backed by work away from the spotlight. I've been working really hard behind the scenes with fitness and being in the gym and those sort of things, which I think led to having a really good preseason. In the WNCL in Australia, I scored a few runs there, so that sort of helped me to give me a little bit of momentum going into the Big Bash. I didn't have the best scores in the Big Bash, but I feel like playing a bit aggressive and playing very positively really helped me to set me up, she added. One of the important lessons Lizelle has carried is the importance of authenticity in her batting approach, regardless of which team she represents. It's a team sport for a reason, and that's to play the way you play. When it doesn't matter which team you go to, you still have to play the way that you play, because that's the reason you're in that team. If it's being aggressive or whatever it is, you just have to keep doing that. That's something that I've learnt, and I just need to continue doing that. It's a mindset that has served her well across playing WBBL, WNCL and occasionally The Hundred. Good question. I don't know, but look, I've only played in the Big Bash for the past few years and haven't played in a WPL or the Hundred for a while. So it's good to be back in these tournaments, and hopefully I can get big up in the Hundred as well. But look, these are great tournaments to be a part of, and it's also tournaments where you have to score runs to make sure you go there again, and hopefully we can do that this season. Based in Australia, she's been able to manage her commitments more carefully, thus saving herself from burnout. Luckily, I don't have that problem as much anymore. I feel like your international players who play for the countries have a lot of that. I mean, they have all these tours in between, and then they have the T20 leagues, so they're on the road a lot of times. I'm living in Australia, I played in the Big Bash, and this is my first away trip for a very long time. So I feel like it's something that I need to get used to again, especially if I want to continue doing this for the next few years. But look, you just have to find ways to manage your needs, and at the end of the day, you have to put yourself first as a person, and then as a player. Looking beyond her playing days, Lizelle has already identified what she'd like to pursue and its umpiring. It's funny how most of the players that finish, they either go out of cricket or they go into coaching, and I sort of want to find a way to stay in cricket, and I don't want to do coaching. I actually do love umpiring because I've done a few games, and that's something that I want to do after playing cricket. Last month, Lizelle was half of the first female umpires to officiate in a men's third-grade game in Tasmanian Premier cricket, and also served as an on-field umpire in the Female U19 National Championships. Australia's given me a few opportunities to umpire in some championships, and I've really enjoyed it. I feel like as my schedule allows it, I'll do that as much as possible, and then hopefully when I'm done with cricket, which is a couple of years away, that's something I can just continue doing. From DCs perspective, Lizelle's recruitment addresses multiple needs. Lizelle Lee's signing was about addressing two long-standing needs - top-order firepower and an overseas wicketkeeper. Historically, Delhi Capitals have alternated between using an overseas batter and an Indian wicketkeeper, but with Lizelle, we get both in one player. She gives us explosive starts alongside Shafali, and her ability to play both pace and spin with equal ease adds great value. Lizelle's match-ups are very strong, especially her sweep options against spin. Ideally, if things go right, you would expect her and Shafali to put up 6065 runs in the Powerplay without taking high risks. Her presence not only gives us power at the top but also solves the wicketkeeping balance issue, letting us play an extra Indian cricketer elsewhere in the XI, said CricViz analysts, who are a part of the Delhi Capitals scouting team, to IANS. Lee is impressed with the squad DC have assembled, though they had to get in leg-spinner Alana King to replace seam-bowling all-rounder Annabel Sutherland. It's a pretty balanced team and they recruited pretty well. It's sad that we lost Belsy just before the tournament. But look, we got Kingi and she's a really good replacement. So, it's going to be a good tournament for us. It's funny how T20 actually works, but if we can all just stick to what we know and what we can do best, hopefully that will go our way. Having been in India before for a few bilateral series with South Africa and 2016 T20 World Cup, Lizelles focus in Goa has been to adapt her game to conditions which Navi Mumbai and Vadodara will present. I've been in India a few times, but it's been a while since I've been in Mumbai and all those places. So I'm looking forward to playing on those venues again. But I feel like the wicket we have here is maybe a bit different. We're at a new stadium. So look, at the end of the day, you just have to adapt to the conditions as quick as possible. But I am just trying to stick to what I do best and stick to the basics and make sure I get that right. The growth of domestic Indian players has particularly caught her eye. It's been really good. I feel like there are a lot of youngsters that have been going through the ranks and performing really well. So, it's just good to see what the WPL has done to the domestic players. That's probably one of the standouts - to see the domestic players play with some of the international stars and just be doing really well. From a recent warm-up game, that impression has only strengthened. It's been amazing and actually quite incredible to see how they improve. I always like watching players one season and look at them again in the next season and see the improvement they have. I feel like that's what the domestic players in India have been doing. So I'm also excited to see how, in the next month, these players improve. DC have been the bridesmaid three times in the WPL's short history. But Lizelle doesn't believe there's any curse attached to it. I definitely don't think that DC has a jinx on that. I just think they've been doing extremely well to get in the final. It's just a little hurdle that we need to step over and hopefully I can contribute to that. Hopefully at the end of the season, we can lift the trophy as a team. The signs are there of Lizelle being a leading hand to break that jinx her unbeaten 77 off 44 was the highest ever individual score in a WBBL final, as the Hobart Hurricanes sealed an eight-wicket win over Perth Scorchers to lift the title for the first time. Look, we've played at Ninja Stadium a few times now. It's one of those grounds where you don't really know what's enough, but it has to be a high total. Restricting them to the total we did, we felt like we had a good chance, and then we started batting really well. The signs are there of Lizelle being a leading hand to break that jinx her unbeaten 77 off 44 was the highest ever individual score in a WBBL final, as the Hobart Hurricanes sealed an eight-wicket win over Perth Scorchers to lift the title for the first time.

'Going To Show A Different Side': Niki Prasad Ready To Embrace DCs Faith In WPL 2026
T20 World Cup: There's a quiet confidence when young Niki Prasad speaks. Its the kind of confidence that comes not from loud proclamations, but from the reassurance that ones potential is being duly recognised. For Niki, who captained India to the 2025 U19 Womens T20 World Cup title, the decision by Delhi Capitals (DC) to retain her ahead of the 2026 Women's Premier League (WPL) season represents more than just a vote of confidence it's a validation of the promise she has shown in last 12 months. To me personally, I'm feeling really grateful that DC has retained me and they've shown faith in me that I can still come out there for the team and put up a good show. So I think I'm really grateful about that and really happy to be retained, Niki said in an exclusive conversation with IANS, from DCs pre-season camp in Goa. The retention has also been a psychological boost for Niki heading into the new season. Definitely being retained and DC showing that they have this faith in me, obviously makes me feel more relaxed and it makes me feel that I can come out there and just give my best. So I think in that aspect, I'm feeling much more confident and really excited to go ahead. I think I'm pretty much confident going ahead into the season and I think I'm just going to carry forward that into the team and onto the field, she said. Asked if she's planning to showcase something different this season, the response is affirmative. Definitely, that's my goal for this WPL. I think I'm going to perform even better and just maybe show a different side, said Niki. Nikis own experiences from the 2025 WPL season, including making 35 on debut to give DC a tense win over Mumbai Indians, have also shaped her approach to the upcoming season. There are a lot of experiences which I had in the last WPL season and I think the game is moving quite fast and you need to keep stepping up, just keep scoring or taking those great catches. So I think coming into this WPL season, that's going to be my focus - to just keep scoring runs and whatever it is on the field, take a lot of good catches, and effect a lot of runouts, she said.Just a week before DC take the field for their first WPL 2026 game on January 10 at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai, Niki has been relentlessly fine-tuning her skills. I think everything about my batting. I've been trying to hit the ball really hard and just looking to find a lot of gaps while batting and in the fielding session, I'm trying to just be more accurate in throwing and taking a lot of good catches. So that has been the preparation so far here in Goa.From the franchise's perspective, the decision to retain Niki was straightforward. Niki had a standout season last year. She played a crucial hand in one of our key wins and came very close to taking us over the line in the final. Fielding-wise, she is one of the best in Indian domestic cricket. You don't often get a player with such sharp ground fielding, safe hands, and athletic diving ability. Whether in the infield or outfield, she gives us complete assurance. She is not a big hitter, but she plays according to the game situation which is ideal for scenarios like 10 for 2 or 3, where stability matters. Plus, she can bowl a bit of off-spin, which adds further value to the balance of the squad. Everybody in the group rates her very highly. We genuinely feel she belongs at this level and has the potential to go on and represent India, which is why the franchise was very clear about retaining her, said CricViz analysts, who are a part of the Delhi Capitals scouting team, to IANS. That final line speaks volumes, as it's not just about what Niki can do now, but what the franchise envisions her into becoming from a long-term perspective. In the 2025/26 season, Niki didnt have a great start amassing 177 runs with an average of 29.50 and strike-rate of 83.09 while captaining Karnataka in the Senior Womens T20 Trophy. But Niki put that behind her to pick up her run-scoring: 128 runs in five games with an average of 32 and strike-rate of 110.34 while leading South Zone in 2025/26 Senior Womens Inter-Zonal T20 Trophy. In the U23 Womens T20 Trophy, Niki made 246 runs in eight games, with an average of 61.5 and strike-rate of 94.61.Coming to WPL 2026, DC will be led by a new skipper in Jemimah Rodrigues and Niki called it an exciting prospect. She's a player who's very lively and she makes her teammates feel very comfortable around her. So I think playing under her captaincy is going to be really exciting and there's going to be a lot of things which I'm pretty sure I'm going to learn this time, she said. The learning environment at DC will continue to be enriched by the presence of established international players like Marizanne Kapp, Laura Wolvaardt, Chinelle Henry and Lizelle Lee. Niki is aware that she isn't taking this opportunity for granted. I think from all of them. It's because all of them are really great cricketers and there's a lot to learn from each and every one. So I've been having interactions with all of them and it's just the start. So going forward into the tournament, I think there's a lot of which I can learn from them. The familiarity with some teammates like Mamatha Madiwala and Nandini Sharma has also helped Niki. The thing is that throughout the year, we've had a lot of camps at CoE and a lot of matches. So I've already been playing with Mamatha, Nandini and so the connection and the bond is already there with them. Life after the U19 World Cup triumph and being runners-up in WPL 2025 has changed for Niki. It has changed quite a lot because definitely one aspect is that recognition. A lot of people have recognised me, and they got to know what I actually do. After that, there's also a lot of expectation which has come out from my own teams, and from the coaches around me. So I think life has been quite happening post both the tournaments. Her approach to handling those expectations is very simple when going out to bat. I just try to like stay calm and, on the field, just stick to my basics and stick to the goals I've set and just see the situation and batting according to the situation. Just try to do that. DC have been perennial trophy contenders but are yet to lift the title. Three seasons of near-misses have only sharpened the hunger within the camp, says Niki. I think definitely everyone wants to cross that line this time and actually win this time in this fourth season. Her approach to handling those expectations is very simple when going out to bat. I just try to like stay calm and, on the field, just stick to my basics and stick to the goals I've set and just see the situation and batting according to the situation. Just try to do that. Also Read: Live Cricket Score For Niki personally, WPL 2026 shapes as a platform to push for higher honours. Like I said earlier as well that DC putting in that faith in me and retaining me is quite special for me because I know the kind of hard work I've done and the kind of performance also I've had in the past few years. I am really more excited and more focused to give my best for DC, she concluded. Article Source: IANS
