Good To See Jemimah Play Her Natural Game On Tough Wicket: Mithali
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Former India captain Mithali Raj lauded Delhi Capitals recent win against Mumbai Indians and highlighted skipper Jemimah Rodrigues composed, match-winning knock under pressure while also assessing the tough road ahead for MI against an in-form Royal Challengers Bengaluru. DC clinched a seven-wicket victory over MI in the 13th match of the Womens Premier League (WPL) on Tuesday as the defending champions suffered their fourth defeat in the tournament. I think this win will do a great deal for Delhi Capitals, especially Jemimah Rodrigues, the batter. As we discussed in the pre-show, it was so important for her to get those runs from her bat, and she stood tall despite losing partners at the other end, Mithali told JioStar. She stitched vital partnerships with Laura Wolvaardt and then with Marizanne Kapp. It was really good to see her play her natural game on a wicket like this. I did mention earlier that this was a surface where I felt Jemimah Rodrigues would score runs, and she did exactly that. She took her time when she came in, played her usual drives, and then cut loose with the cuts, scoop shots, and reverse sweeps. She didnt get the first reverse sweep right, but the second one went for a boundary, which was absolutely crucial in terms of the run-ball equation. She targeted the shorter boundary well and was aware of the field placements the bowlers were setting. She handled a lot of pressure and, importantly, stayed there to take the team across the line, she added. DCs win was powered by Rodrigues calm and perfectly paced unbeaten 51, which lifted them from the bottom of the table into a four-way tie on four points behind already-qualified RCB. DCs chase of 155 runs began in stark contrast, with Shafali Verma and Lizelle Lee racing to 57 without loss in the powerplay. Momentum stalled in the middle overs, however, as boundaries dried up and both openers were dismissed in quick succession. Rodrigues then took charge, anchoring the innings through a tense phase alongside Laura Wolvaardt. After the Protea captain fell to a slice of misfortune, the DC skipper shifted gears late, striking timely boundaries and a crucial six. In the end, Rodrigues fittingly guided DC home, finishing unbeaten on 51 as Kapp hit the winning six off Nat Sciver-Brunt, sealing a momentum-shifting victory for Delhi Capitals. On the partnership between Lee and Rodrigues, the former India skipper said, I was quite impressed with both batters. This is not an ideal wicket where you can come in and immediately play big shots, but they still managed to find the boundaries. Mumbai Indians bowlers were a bit guilty, as the first over from almost every bowler was down the leg side, and the batters made full use of those loose deliveries. In the end, Rodrigues fittingly guided DC home, finishing unbeaten on 51 as Kapp hit the winning six off Nat Sciver-Brunt, sealing a momentum-shifting victory for Delhi Capitals. Also Read: Live Cricket Score Speaking of the Mumbai Indians next challenge against the unbeaten RCB, Mithali said, RCB have found the right form from the very first game of the tournament and have won five matches on the trot. Mumbai Indians still have to play RCB, a team they have already lost to, so there are some tough challenges ahead for them. Article Source: IANS

Mpower Marks a Decade of Mental Health Impact at the Tata Mumbai Marathon
Mpower, an initiative of the Aditya Birla Education Trust, marked a significant milestone at the Tata Mumbai Marathon this year as it completed 10 Mindful Years of sustained work in Indias mental health space. Founded by Mrs. Neerja Birla, Founder and Chairperson of Mpower and the Aditya Birla Education Trust and Mpower. Mpower Team at Tata Mumbai Marathon 2026 Over 700 participants - including employees and senior leadership from Mpower and Aditya Birla Group companies, along with college students from across Mumbai - came together at the Tata Mumbai Marathon to spotlight the importance of mental health through collective, visible action. While many joined the Dream Run, others took on the half marathon (21 km) and full marathon (42 km), reflecting a strong personal and organisational commitment to mental wellbeing. Student volunteers lined the route, cheering runners and amplifying mental health messages, reinforcing the belief that mental wellbeing is a shared responsibility across generations and communities.

At the national level, Mpower supports the Government of Indias Tele-MANAS initiative and operates the Mpower 1-on-1 Mental Health Helpline (toll-free: 1800-120-820050), a 247 free counselling service, while COPE Clubs across colleges train peer supporters to normalise mental health conversations and enable early help-seeking among young people.

Its work has contributed to measurable improvements in mental health literacy, increased utilisation of services, and stronger institutional responses across education, healthcare, and public systems. The Tata Mumbai Marathon provided a fitting moment to reflect on this decade-long journey - underscoring Mpowers belief that mental health must be embedded into everyday life and supported through continuity, collaboration, and long-term engagement rather than episodic interventions. As Mpower completes 10 Mindful Years , the focus remains on building responsibly and sustainably, while ensuring that mental healthcare in India continues to be credible, ethical, accessible, and trusted.

WPL 2026: Rodrigues Credits 'legend' Kapp's Exceptional Bowling For Delhi Capitals' Win
Jemimah Rodrigues: After leading her team, Delhi Capitals, to the second victory of Women's Premier League (WPL) 2026 with a commanding half-century, captain Jemimah Rodrigues praised Marizanne Kapp's outstanding Power-play spell that set the tone for their victory over Mumbai Indians. Delhi built a strong foundation with the ball, led by an impressive performance from Marizanne Kapp. Kapp was exceptional at the start, bowling 16 dot balls. She gave away just eight runs in her four overs and did not allow a single boundary. Her control, alongside Nandani Sharma, left Mumbai struggling at 23/2 during the Powerplay, with Sajana (9) and Hayley Matthews (12) getting out early. Today was a very important game for us. I want to share this award with Kappy (Marizanne Kapp). I even asked if I could do that. The way she bowled in the Power-play got us into the game. It was one of the best spells she ever bowled. She is a legend of the game, but she still wants to become better, said Rodrigues after the match. On the bowling side for Delhi, N. Sree Charani stood out. She took three wickets for 33 runs, including two wickets in the 18th over, to help keep the Mumbai team to a low score of 154/5. Kapp provided assistance with a 1-wicket for 8 runs effort to keep the Mumbai total to below expectations. After a perfect start to the chase from Lizelle Lee and Shafali Verma, Rodrigues 51 off 37 deliveries was key to Delhi's win. She added a quick 31 runs off mere 17 deliveries, partnering with Kapp, which came mostly in doubles. She explained that sharp running between the wickets and giving herself time early were central to building the innings on a challenging surface. Even when she came in, I thought what set our partnership was the running between the wickets. I think I have had a few conversations with the few people I trust. They have all told me to take some time initially. I have played a lot on pitches like this. So it is about getting through the first 10 balls. So I know if I do that, batting becomes easy. Earlier, after suffering early jolts, the Mumbai Indians were able to create stability through their known strengths. Nat Sciver-Brunt showed her loyalty once again by being a key part of the Mumbai innings with an unbeaten 65 runs from 45 deliveries, while the captain, Harmanpreet Kaur, provided a solid performance with a score of 41. They both added 78 runs, which was the key to Mumbai's respectable total. Even when she came in, I thought what set our partnership was the running between the wickets.

WPL 2026: We Were About 20 Runs Short With The Bat, Says MI Skipper Kaur After Third Straight Defeat
Mumbai Indians: Mumbai Indians skipper Harmanpreet Kaur admitted that her side was 20 runs short after slumping to their third straight defeat as Delhi Capitals thrashed them by seven wickets in Vadodara. Kaur pointed to continued Power-play execution issues with both bat and ball as a key factor in their defeat. Delhi built a strong foundation with the ball, led by an impressive performance from Marizanne Kapp. Kapp was exceptional at the start, bowling 16 dot balls. She gave away just eight runs in her four overs and did not allow a single boundary. Her control, alongside Nandani Sharma, left Mumbai struggling at 23/2 during the Power-play, with Sajana (9) and Hayley Matthews (12) getting out early. Yeah, I think we were about 20 runs short with the bat. Even in the Powerplay, we werent able to execute properly - both with bat and ball, and thats been a concern for us throughout this tournament. We really need to push ourselves more in that phase of the game, said Harmanpreet after the match. The Power-play has been tricky for us, especially because weve had to keep changing our opening combinations due to injuries. At the start of the tournament, a few players werent available, and now Kamalinis injury has forced another change. That has affected our stability at the top, but its not an excuse -whoever goes out to open has to take responsibility and bat positively for the team. For Mumbai, WPL debutant Vaishnavi Sharma was a bright spot in the field, finishing with figures of 1 for 20. Harmanpreet heaped praise on debutant Vaishnavi Sharma, calling her spell a turning point after she removed Shafali Verma and showed control despite the difficult Power-play. On debut, Vaishnavi was really impressive, especially after a difficult Power-play for our bowlers. When she came in and got Shafalis wicket, that was a big turning point. She showed great control and skill, and as a bowling unit, we need to learn from the areas she bowled today, he said. Nonetheless, the Mumbai team was able to create stability through their known strengths. Nat Sciver-Brunt showed her loyalty once again by being a key part of the Mumbai innings with an unbeaten 65 runs from 45 deliveries, while the captain, Harmanpreet Kaur, provided a solid performance with a score of 41.

WPL 2026: Skipper Rodrigues Holds Nerve As Delhi Capitals Revive Campaign With Seven-wicket Win
Skipper Jemimah Rodrigues: Skipper Jemimah Rodrigues' unbeaten 51 after brilliant opening batting from wicketkeeper-batter Lizelle Lee (46) helped Delhi Capitals beat Mumbai Indians by seven wickets in the 13th match of the Women's Premier League (WPL) 2026 at the Kotambi Stadium in Vadodara on Tuesday. The chase for a modest 155 almost stumbled midway, but Rodrigues made sure there was no late drama. Instead of relying on brute force, she focused on right placement and consistent running between the wickets to guide Delhi to victory with six balls left. She demonstrated her leadership when it mattered most. Earlier, Delhi built a strong foundation with the ball, led by an impressive performance from Marizanne Kapp, who called the pitch not a nice wicket to bowl on. Kapp was exceptional at the start, bowling 16 dot balls. She gave away just eight runs in her four overs and did not allow a single boundary. Her control, alongside Nandani Sharma, left Mumbai struggling at 23/2 in the Power-play, with Sajana (9) and Hayley Matthews (12) getting out early. Nonetheless, the Mumbai team was able to create stability through their known strengths. Nat Sciver-Brunt showed her loyalty once again by being a key part of the Mumbai innings with an unbeaten 65 runs from 45 deliveries, while the captain, Harmanpreet Kaur, provided a solid performance with a score of 41. At the first break of the match, the Mumbai team was at a poor position of 47 for 2 wickets after nine overs, with Sciver-Brunt with eight runs and Kaur on 18. Both players continued to build on their partnership. Going into the 3rd wicket stage, the pair had added 78 runs for Mumbai and reached 100 runs after 13.6 overs, with Sciver-Brunt scoring her 11th half-century in this league with a 34-ball inning. Her half-century tied her with Meg Lanning for the record for most half-centuries scored in the multi-day competition. At the end of the innings, Harmanpreet Kaur was 41 runs out, falling victim to Sree Charani, and Sciver Brunt continued through the remainder of the innings, allowing Mumbai to finish at 154 runs for 5 wickets (154/5), thanks to 42 runs in the last 5 overs, as well as a six hit off the final ball of the innings. On the bowling side for Delhi, Sree Charani stood out. She took 3 wickets for 33 runs, including two wickets in the 18th over, to help keep the Mumbai team to a low score. Kapp provided assistance with a 1-wicket for 8 runs effort to keep the Mumbai total to below expectations. In response, Delhi received a perfect start from their opening pair, Shafali Verma and Lizzy Lee, who quickly put pressure back on MI. Lee appeared confident and fluent before succumbing to a tough umpiring decision. Shafali couldnt turn her good start into a big score. A surprising dismissal for Laura Wolvaardt added to the tension, and past missteps may have troubled Capitals fans. That was when Rodrigues stepped up. Whether motivated by Amanjot Kaur throwing the ball at her without reason or simply fuelled by focus, the skipper delivered a captains innings marked by smart placement and relentless energy between the wickets. She led the chase clearly, ensuring Delhi maintained control and guided her team to victory with calm confidence. For Mumbai, WPL debutant Vaishnavi Sharma was a bright spot in the field, finishing with figures of 1 for 20. They may need to keep an eye on Nicola Careys extended absence from the field during the chase as they move forward. That was when Rodrigues stepped up.

Head Coach Michael Klinger: After two wins and three losses, including one at home in Vadodara, Adani Sportsline-owned Gujarat Giants will go all out in their final three matches of the WPL 2026 as they fancy their chances of making the playoffs at Kotambi Stadium. Addressing the Vadodara media on Tuesday, players and coaches of the Adani Sportsline-owned team reflected on the season so far and underlined the significance of returning to Kotambi Stadium and playing in front of their home supporters. Head Coach Michael Klinger said, Our initial strategy was to find the right combination, especially for our playing XI. Weve spoken to the group about the brand of cricket we want to play and the targets we aim to achieve, both in Mumbai and now in Vadodara. I felt we played some really good cricket in our first couple of games with two solid wins, but in the last three matches weve fallen a little off the pace and havent played quite at our best. With three matches still to go, we remain very much in the competition. We will have to tweak our strategy slightly, especially with the playing conditions being different here. Captain Ashleigh Gardner echoed the belief within the group. Weve played some good cricket and some not-so-good cricket, but its important to trust your preparation as individuals and as a team. Were focused on building an environment where everyone is gelling well. For us, its about sticking to our processes and hopefully putting on stronger performances for our home crowd in these last three games. Senior pacer Renuka Singh spoke about adapting to conditions in Vadodara. The wicket here has been slightly different, with different soil and a bit less bounce. As bowlers, we need to adjust quickly to the conditions, and its great to be playing in front of our home crowd. Captain Ashleigh Gardner echoed the belief within the group.

WPL 2026: Nat Sciver-Brunt's Fighting Knock Of 65 Propels MI To 154/5 Against DC
Mumbai Indians Women: An unbeaten 65 by all-rounder Nat Sciver-Brunt and skipper Harmanpreet Kaur's (41) guided Mumbai Indians to 154/5 in 20 overs against Delhi Capitals in the 13th match of the Women's Premier League (WPL) 2026 at the Kotambi Stadium in Vadodara on Tuesday. Nat Sciver-Brunt made sure the Mumbai Indians Women turned a shaky start into a strong finish, recovering to post a fighting total. Facing pressure during the Power-play, Mumbai found stability with Sciver-Brunts unbeaten 65 off 45 balls. Her innings moved from cautious to aggressive, shifting the momentum after she hit a six on the last ball to push MI past 150 and increase the pressure on Delhi. Delhi took early control. Marizanne Kapp and Nandani Sharma dominated the Power-play, taking down Sajana (9) and Hayley Matthews (12) as Mumbai fell to 23/2 in six overs. Kapp's overall numbers8 runs conceded in four overshighlighted her skills. Her tight line and lack of easy runs defined that phase. MI had to focus on survival, managing to reach 47/2 in nine overs at the first timeout, with Sciver-Brunt at 8 and Harmanpreet Kaur on 18. They were still rebuilding and looking for momentum. The change came just in time. Sciver-Brunt found her rhythm, and the third-wicket partnership began to pick up speed. They added 50 runs in 45 balls, moving steadily as Mumbai reached 50 in 9.4 overs and 100 in 13.6 overs. Sciver-Brunt brought up her half-century off 34 balls, batting with growing confidence. Just when the partnership seemed set to dominate, Harmanpreet fell for 41, caught off N. Sree Charani, breaking a crucial 78-run partnership. The final overs brought excitement and energy. At the second timeout, MI was at 119/3 in 16 overs, but Charani struck twice in the 18th over, taking out Nicola Carey (12) and Amanjot Kaur (3), the latter after a successful DRS review. Nevertheless, Sciver-Brunt remained steady, finishing with 65 off 45, while Sanskriti Gupta contributed a brisk 10 off 5, adding some late boundaries.

WPL 2026: Deeya, Vaishnavi Debut As DC Elect To Bowl Against MI
Delhi Capitals Women: Three-time finalists Delhi Capitals won the toss and elected to field against defending champion Mumbai Indians in the 13th match of the Women's Premier League (WPL) 2026 at the Kotambi Stadium in Vadodara on Tuesday. While the Mumbai Indians have made several changes to their playing XI, the Delhi Capitals have only made one adjustment. They handed a debut to 16-year-old Deeya Yadav in place of Mennu Mani. G Kamalini has been ruled out of the tournament after picking up an injury, with Vaishnavi Sharma coming in as her replacement. The left-arm spinner will make her debut today. Hayley Matthews also returns to the squad, with the conditions expected to suit her style of play. Delhi Capitals Women captain Jemimah Rodrigues said, We would like to bowl first. Under the lights, the ball skids on, and the bounce is a little bit low. Playing through the line will work well on this pitch. As bowlers, we will need to keep it at the stumps. We know we need to win, but our focus is on the process. If we take care of it, the rest will fall in place. Diya comes in place of Meenu Mani. She is 16, yet she can smack the ball out of the park. Mumbai Indians captain Harmanpreet Kaur said, Yeah, looking at the conditions today, bowling first was definitely the better option. The pitch and the atmosphere suggested that we could get more assistance early on, so we were happy with that call. Obviously, coming off two losses in a row hasnt been easy, but weve tried to stay together as a group. Over the last couple of days, we sat down, had some honest and constructive conversations, and refocused as a team. I feel in the last two games we didnt quite play our best cricket, so today the aim is to stay positive, play with clarity, and put in a complete performance. We do have a few team changes today. Unfortunately, Kamalini has been ruled out of the tournament due to injury, so weve brought in Vaishnavi Sharma in her place. Shes a left-arm spinner, and shes making her debut today, which is really exciting for her and for the team. Also, Hayley is back in the squad, and looking at the conditions, we felt this surface would suit her game really well. Apart from that, Poonam isnt playing today - thats the other change, she added.
