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: 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: 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.
