Skipper Jemimah Rodrigues: Skipper Jemimah Rodrigues expressed immense satisfaction after Delhi Capitals clinched a seven-wicket victory over UP Warriorz in a tense last-over finish in the Women's Premier League (WPL) 2026 at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai on Wednesday. Lizelle Lees commanding strokeplay, backed by Shafali Vermas all-round impact, laid the foundation for Delhi Capitals first win under captain Jemimah Rodrigues. Laura Wolvaardt's nerve-wracking finish proved ultimately calming, as she capped off the dramatic final ball of the chase with victory for Delhi. Rddrigues praised her teams composure and admitted that she felt special to come out on the right side of a nail-biter. Im very happy. I know it was a nail-biting finish, but Im extremely proud of the way the girls played and kept their cool. These things happen in cricket, but it feels really good to be on the winning side. The chase did go down to the wire, but honestly, the dugout was quite calm throughout. Even when I walked in, it felt composed, and I think thats very important. It did get a bit nervy towards the end, especially after I lost my wicket - it felt like deja vu with seven runs needed, but the way Kapp and the rest finished it off was brilliant, said Rodrigues after the match. Rodrigues underlined the importance of Delhis bowling effort, singling out Sneh Ranas first-ball wicket as a reminder of how quickly momentum can swing in cricket. Delhis win came as a result of a disciplined bowling display this evening. Shafali Verma (2/11), Marizanne Kapp (2/14), and Shree Charani (1/29) performed exceptionally well in limiting UP Warriorz to just 154 for 8 runs. From a bowling perspective, I thought we were really good today. The way Sneh came back and picked up a first-ball wicket just shows how quickly cricket can change. One day might not go your way, but the next day you can make a big impact. That wicket was crucial for us to regain momentum. Earlier, UP skipper Meg Lanning had lost the toss and led her team best with 54 runs while Harleen Deol scored 47 runs off 36 balls to pull the team to a respectable total of 157/8. While acknowledging quality innings from Meg Lanning and Harleen Deol, Jemimah said she was pleased with the collective effort of her bowlers in restricting UP Warriorz. Meg and Harleen played really well for them, but overall, I was happy with how all our bowlers performed. The standout for me was Shefali. She always finds a way to contribute to Delhi Capitals, whether its with the bat or the ball, and today she did exactly that. While acknowledging quality innings from Meg Lanning and Harleen Deol, Jemimah said she was pleased with the collective effort of her bowlers in restricting UP Warriorz. Also Read: Live Cricket Score I wouldnt say Shefali was my last bowling option at all. The way she bowled in the previous game and the confidence she has make a big difference. Shes the kind of player whod say yes to bowling even if you woke her up from her sleep. That kind of belief gives a captain a lot of trust in their bowlers, and today she was absolutely phenomenal.

WPL 2026: UP Skipper Lanning Praises Bowlers For Pulling Game Till Last Over
DY Patil Stadium: Skipper Meg Lanning praised her bowlers for dragging the contest down to the final delivery after Delhi Capitals survived a last-ball thriller to beat UP Warriorz by seven wickets in Navi Mumbai. Lizelle Lees (67) commanding strokeplay, backed by Shafali Vermas (36) all-round impact, laid the foundation for Delhi Capitals first win under captain Jemimah Rodrigues, as they survived another last-over scare. Lanning acknowledged Delhi Capitals smart use of slower balls while lauding her teams fight until the very end. I thought it was an excellent effort from our bowlers to pull it back and take the game right down to the final ball. It definitely became harder to bat first, especially once the pace was taken off the ball. That was something we learned from how the Delhi Capitals bowled, and I thought they executed that plan extremely well. We always felt we were in the game if we could bowl well, and the team deserves a lot of credit for fighting it out until the very end, said UP Warriorz captain Meg Lanning. Lanning had lost the toss and led her team best with 54 runs while Harleen Deol scored 47 runs off 36 balls. The UP captain was pleased to contribute runs at the top but admitted she would have liked to bat longer, expressing hope of building on the innings in the matches to come. It was nice personally to get a few runs and contribute. I wouldve liked to keep going a bit longer, but it always feels good to put something on the board for the team. Hopefully, there are a few more of those to come. UP Warriorz head coach Abhishek Nayar made a mistake by retiring Deol after the 17th over of the game. That decision ultimately backfired spectacularly, as UP leapt into a massive collapse after that point and did not have strong enough momentum to generate enough runs to be competitive. Lanning explained the tactical thinking behind Deols retirement, stating the decision was aimed at maximising the death overs and, while it did not work on the night, remained one she stood by in the teams best interests. On Deols retirement, there was definitely a method behind that decision. With the death overs coming up, we felt we needed to maximise that phase. Deol batted extremely well, but it was getting tougher out there, and we felt she had got a little stuck towards the end - something I experienced as well. These decisions are always about whats best for the team. I stand by it - it didnt work today, but sometimes it does, and sometimes it doesnt. She clarified that Dottins absence was a purely tactical call, made to suit specific match-ups, and felt Chloe Tryon fulfilled her role effectively in her first WPL appearance. Deandra Dottin's absence was purely a tactical call. We felt Chloe Tryon was a good match-up against one of Delhis batters, and I thought she did her role really well in her first game of the WPL. That was the balance we felt suited this game best. She clarified that Dottins absence was a purely tactical call, made to suit specific match-ups, and felt Chloe Tryon fulfilled her role effectively in her first WPL appearance. Also Read: Live Cricket Score Theres not much time to dwell on this with another game coming up quickly, and thats probably a good thing. There are plenty of positives to take from tonight, along with areas we know we need to improve. Well take confidence from how we finished the game and look forward to tomorrow against the Mumbai Indians, who have some world-class players. Were really excited for that challenge.

WPL 2026: Lee, Verma Shine As Wolvaardt Secures Victory In Last-over Thriller For Delhi Capitals
Dr DY Patil Stadium: Lizelle Lees commanding strokeplay, backed by Shafali Vermas all-round impact, laid the foundation for Delhi Capitals first win under captain Jemimah Rodrigues, as they survived another last-over scare to beat UP Warriorz by seven wickets in the seventh match of the Women's Premier League (WPL) 2026 at the Dr DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai and open their account on the points table. Laura Wolvaardt's nerve-wracking finish proved ultimately calming, as she capped off the dramatic final ball of the chase with victory for Delhi. Delhis previous win came as a result of a disciplined bowling display this evening. Shafali Verma (2-11), Marizanne Kapp (2-14), and Shree Charani (1-29) performed exceptionally well in limiting UP Warriorz to just 154 for 8 runs. Meg Lanning, captain of Warriorz, had lost the toss, led her team best with 54 runs, while Harleen Deol scored 47 runs off 36 balls. Notably, UP Warriorz head coach Abhishek Nayar made a mistake by retiring Deol after the 17th over of the game. That decision ultimately backfired spectacularly, as UP leapt into a massive collapse after that point and did not have strong enough momentum to generate enough runs to be competitive. The Delhi Capitals came out firing in their chase of 155 runs. Both Lee and Verma wasted no time dismantling UP's new-ball bowlers and adding 94 runs in just over 11 overs before UP was left reeling. Verma scored a fast 36 off 32 balls, while hitting six fours, before Asha Shobana took her wicket in the 12th over after a fantastic catch by Deepti Sharma. Lee continued dominating the game, earning her half-century in just over 31 balls, but fell for an astonishing 67 off 44 balls after miscuing a delivery from Deepti Sharma to Kiran Navigire in the 15th over. Laura Wolvaardt took charge at No. 3, leading the chase with calmness. Jemimah Rodrigues added a quick 21 off 14 balls. With seven runs required from eight balls, Rodrigues tried to take on Deepti in the 19th over but ended up hitting a simple catch to Harleen Deol in the deep, pushing the game into another tense finish. Sophie Ecclestone had the final over to defend with six runs on the board. It started with a dot ball, followed by a full toss that Kapp sent to the boundary. Two dot ballsa yorker and a low full tosskept UP in the game, but a failed LBW review resulted in a leg bye that levelled the scores on the second-to-last delivery. With one run needed off the last ball and the field in tight, Wolvaardt remained composed and hit a drive through the covers for four. She finished unbeaten with 25 off 24 balls.

Lanning is now part of an elite group with her landmark achievement, along with England's Nat Sciver-Brunt and India Captain Harmanpreet Kaur, as these three batters have been the definition of greatness in terms of consistency, impact, and success during the brief but amazing history of WPL (Women's Premier League). Lanning's total of runs (1,050) ranks her amongst the top scorers ever in WPL, with only Sciver-Brunt (1,101) above her and Harmanpreet (1,016) closely trailing behind. Australia's Ellyse Perry(972) and Shafali Verma (887) make up the top five, showing the level of play and talent WPL is becoming known for shortly after its inception. The 33-year-old Lanning, a right-handed batter and a right-handed medium pacer, achieved this milestone through three extremely successful years in charge of the Delhi Capitals (DC) from 2023 through 2025, where she led DC to a record of consistently finishing as runners-up each year. As an individual player, Lanning had an outstanding performance in the first season of WPL, which included 345 runs with a strike rate of 139.11, including two half-centuries, and was one of the major influences in setting up the success of her team, DC.

DY Patil Sports Academy: Delhi Capitals won the toss and elected to field against UP Warriorz in the seventh match of the Women's Premier League (WPL) 2026 at the Dr. DY Patil Sports Academy, Navi Mumbai, on Wednesday. Warriorz have made one change in the playing eleven, with Chloe Tyron coming in for Deandra Dottin, while Delhi have fielded the same eleven as they did in the last match. Delhi Capitals captain Jemimah Rodrigues said, We are going to bowl first because we have seen the pitch gets slightly better with the dew coming in later. Any target is chaseable here. The way we played, we showed some character with both bat and ball. There were many positive moments and many learnings. Nandini is a youngster and a captain's delight. She is so accurate and has the guts to bowl any delivery. It is about keeping things simple, and the results will be our way. Same team. UP Warriorz's captain Meg Lanning said, With the toss, you almost have to reverse your hopes these days. We were actually quite happy as well, because throughout this tournament, teams batting second have done well. But no matter when you do it, you still have to execute properly. Were looking forward to the opportunity to come out and put the Delhi Capitals under some pressure early. Theres been a bit of progression at the top of the order from the first game to the second, and were going back to what we started the WPL with. That gives us a really good chance to take the bowlers on and allows players to operate in roles where theyre at their best. Thats what its all about. We know there are areas to improve from the last game, but weve had some really good discussions, and now its about going out there and doing it.
