WPL 2026: The Way Everyone Bowled And Executed Plans Was Really Special To Watch, Says Mandhana

DY Patil Sports Academy: Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) captain Smriti Mandhana summed up her teams dominant night by calling it the best seat in the house as RCB registered a comprehensive nine-wicket win with 47 balls to spare over UP Warriorz in the Womens Premier League (WPL) 2026 at the Dr. DY Patil Sports Academy in Mumbai. It was the best seat in the house for me, Mandhana said after the match. The way everyone bowled and executed the plans was really special to watch. The captain reserved particular praise for Lauren Bell, who led the charge with the new ball. With 15 dot deliveries in the inning, Bell was outstanding and returned with a figure of 1/16. Lauren wasnt letting anyone touch the ball in the Power-play. Thats how you want to start your bowling innings after winning the toss, Mandhana said. Mandhana also pointed to tactical improvements from RCBs previous outing. We were not really on point in the first match in terms of the field sets. We executed the plans despite the left-right combination throughout the 20 overs, she said. In the chase, Mandhana played a supporting role as Grace Harris produced a breathtaking assault. All I need to do is take a single and give the strike to Grace Harris. Its her own thing to do. Shafali, Grace all these players you just have to give them a single, and they will do the job. RCBs decision to open the batting with Harris paid rich dividends, with the Australian smashing 85 off 40 balls in a record 137-run opening partnership. Mandhana explained the thinking behind the move. In the chase, Mandhana played a supporting role as Grace Harris produced a breathtaking assault.

WPL 2026: We Were Outplayed By RCB Tonight, Says UPW Skipper Lanning

DY Patil Sports Academy: UP Warriorz captain Meg Lanning admitted that her side was comprehensively outplayed by Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) as the latter cruised to a nine-wicket win with 47 balls to spare in their Womens Premier League (WPL) 2026 clash at the Dr. DY Patil Sports Academy in Navi Mumbai on Monday night. No, of course, not! We hoped to start with a win or two. We were outplayed by RCB tonight. Not our best night, Lanning said after the defeat. They bowled well up front and put us under pressure. Then never let us in the game with the bat. So, plenty to work for us. The good thing is that the games are coming thick and fast. So, we will move on pretty quickly. RCB's dominance in this match stemmed from a fine partnership between Smriti Mandhana and Grace Harris against UPW, both sharing an opening stand that was as fierce as they could be. The massive partnership allowed RCB to easily reach a modest target of 144 runs. Grace Harris smashed an incredible 85 runs off just 40 balls while Smriti Mandhana was not out on 47 at the time of the partnership. The two players' partnership of 137 runs for the first wicket of RCB became the highest opening partnership in the franchise's history, and the chase had already been effectively concluded before the end of the match; at the point when RCB lost their first wicket, the team only needed to score 7 runs off 74 balls to win the match. Lanning reserved special praise and frustration for Harris. Its pretty difficult when she gets going. She plays all around the ground and also showed how well she can play straight down the ground, she said. Once she gets into that rhythm, shes hard to stop. She has brute force. Unfortunately, she got going tonight. We couldnt stop her. Lanning admitted UP Warriorz never found momentum with the bat. With the bat, we never got going, unfortunately. We chewed too many dot balls up front, including me. We need to be better there, she said. Dont want to take anything from RCB. They bowled extremely well up front and never let us get away. RCB decided to bowl first, and their impressive opening bowlers dismantled the UP Warriorz top order and left them in danger of losing early. UP Warriorz made a late recovery thanks to Deepti Sharma (45 not out) and Deandra Dottin (40) after they built a partnership of 93 runs for the sixth wicket, which lifted their final score to 143 runs. The partnership also became the second-highest sixth-wicket partnership in WPL history. Lanning admitted UP Warriorz never found momentum with the bat.

WPL 2026: Deepti, Dottin Rescue Act Helps UP Warriorz Post 143/5 Against RCB

DY Patil Sports Academy: Former captain Deepti Sharma's rescue act of unbeaten 45 and Deandra Dottin's 40 not out helped UP Warriorz Women put up a score of 143/5 in 20 overs against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in the fifth match of the Women's Premier League (WPL) 2026 at the Dr. DY Patil Sports Academy in Navi Mumbai. UP Warriorz produced a remarkable recovery to reach 143 for 5 in 20 overs, clawing their way back from a precarious 50 for 5, thanks to a superb, unbeaten 93-run sixth-wicket partnership between Dottin and Deepti. After being asked to bat first, the Meg Lanning-led side started well with the bat but suffered an early setback courtesy of tight bowling from RCB bowlers. Harleen Deol (11), who was pushed up to open the innings with Meg Lanning (14), was unable to get going, while their captain also struggled early on to get into her innings. Phoebe Litchfield (20) batted with great intent early on, but then repeated last match's mistake and didn't match her quick start with more runs. The wheels came off quickly for UPW. Poor shot selection by Kiran Navgire (5) and Shweta Sehrawat (0) in the middle caused the team to lose its momentum, as they fell from 50/3 down to 50/5 and looked to be heading for an embarrassing total. However, momentum changed in Warriorz' favour as both Dottin (40 not out) and Deepti (45 not out) were able to absorb the pressure and counterattack in a controlled manner. Early in their innings, the two players took turns rotating the strike and punishing anything that wasn't on line before adding an unbeaten 93 runs together for the sixth wicket, which left UPW in a solid position to get a competitive total with 143/5 and something to bowl at for their bowlers. The stand also etched its place in WPL history. It became the second-highest sixth-wicket partnership in the league, behind only the 109-run unbroken stand between Poonam Khemnar and Deepti Sharma against Gujarat Giants in Delhi in 2024, and ahead of the 69-run partnership between Grace Harris and Deepti Sharma against RCB at the same venue in 2023. For RCB, Lauren Bell once again impressed with the new ball, returning figures of 1 for 16. Shreyanka Patil provided key breakthroughs by dismissing Meg Lanning and Phoebe Litchfield in the same over, though she proved expensive at the death to finish with 2 for 50. Nadine de Klerk created history by becoming the first bowler in WPL to take wickets with her first two deliveries, but she went wicketless thereafter and ended with 2 for 28. Linsey Smith and Arundhati Reddy were economical in their spells, rounding off an otherwise solid bowling effort.

T20 World Cup 2026: ICC Plays Down Bangladesh's Security Concern Amid Mustafizur Rahman Row

The International Cricket Council: The International Cricket Council (ICC) has played down concerns over Bangladeshs participation in the ICC Mens T20 World Cup 2026 and has found o specific or unmanageable risk to the Bangladesh cricket team amid the ongoing Mustafizur Rahman situation. The independent reviews conducted by the ICC have determined that there is an overall assessment of low to moderate levels of risk regarding the event in India and that no specific or direct threats exist for the Bangladesh team, Bangladesh team officials, or any of the event venues. The ICC is aware of public comments made in recent days concerning the participation of Bangladesh in the ICC Mens T20 World Cup 2026, including selective references to the ICCs security risk assessment. It is important to clarify that the ICCs independent risk assessments, carried out by internationally recognised security experts, do not conclude that Bangladesh cannot play its scheduled matches in India, an ICC source told IANS. The overall security risk for the tournament in India has been assessed as low to moderate, which is consistent with the profile of many major global sporting events. The assessments did not identify any specific or direct threat to the Bangladesh team, team officials, or match venues in India. India and Sri Lanka are set to co-host the T20 World Cup 2026 starting February 7. However, Bangladeshs cricketing board wrote a letter to the ICC requesting that its matches be shifted to Sri Lanka amid security concerns amid growing tensions between the two neighbouring nations. The BCB also stated that they had received a response from the ICC, with the governing council assuring them that they would look into the matter. The ICC stated that both the security assessments from matches scheduled in Kolkata and Mumbai are also assessed as low to moderate and that the identified risks can be addressed through standard mitigation measures as established in all events. Based on the professional advice received, the risk associated with Bangladeshs scheduled fixtures in Kolkata and Mumbai is assessed as low to moderate, with no indication of risks that cannot be effectively managed through established security planning and mitigation measures, the source said. In addition, the ICC also explained that some of the media reports linked to contingency planning were misrepresentations of outine contingency planning and that those types of articles should not be taken as implying increased security concerns. Some media reports have misinterpreted contingency planning as being actual risk, rather than conclusions or determinations. Such scenario planning is routine in order to ensure preparedness and consider all eventualities, however remote. As is standard practice in professional security assessments, a broad range of hypothetical scenarios is considered to ensure preparedness. These scenarios are not statements of fact, instructions, or expectations, nor do they represent conditions set by the ICC regarding team selection, supporter behaviour, or domestic political processes. The ICC wishes to be clear that it has never suggested, nor would it suggest, that any team should select or exclude players for security reasons, that supporters should be restricted from wearing national colours, or that domestic democratic processes be altered in order to participate in an ICC event. The ICC expressed faith in the host country, India, to fulfil its obligations as host and said they were very confident of the collaborative security arrangements being developed with BCCI and other local authorities, and cited India as having an exemplary track record for holding major events. The ICC has full confidence in the security arrangements being developed in close collaboration with the BCCI and relevant local authorities, who have a strong and proven track record of safely delivering major international sporting events. As with all ICC events, the security plan for the ICC Mens T20 World Cup 2026 remains under continuous review. Participating members, including the Bangladesh Cricket Board, are being consulted as part of this process, and the ICC remains open to constructive dialogue and feedback to further strengthen arrangements where appropriate. The ICC has full confidence in the security arrangements being developed in close collaboration with the BCCI and relevant local authorities, who have a strong and proven track record of safely delivering major international sporting events.

RCB included Gautami Naik in place of Prema Rawat, as the Warriorz have fielded the same playing XI as in the last match. RCB captain Smriti Mandhana said, We would like to field first today. We have seen dew coming in the latter half of the innings. The first match worked well for us. DY Patil has been a big chasing ground. Yesterday, DC could have chased that total down. Any total isn't good enough at DY Patil Stadium. It's always easy to know as a batting unit how much you are gonna get. Nadine (de Klerk) got us through in both departments, but in the tournaments like these, some players are going to stand out in some matches. It's about contribution, and we all really want to contribute in the top order as well. Looking forward to having new match winners in every match. We have one change, Gautami comes in for Prema, said Mandhana. UP Warriorz captain Meg Lanning said, We were going to have a chase as well, but the teams batting first have games this season. Regardless, we have to bat well. Hopefully, we do well with the bat, get off a good start, and post a good score. We did a lot of things right. We chased well. Kept ourselves in the game. We also bowled well in some patches. Good signs. Hopefully, we can take some confidence into this game. Having said that, we spent a good week together. Hopefully, we can improve a bit tonight and get a win. Same side tonight.

WPL Matches On Jan 14, 15 Likely To Be Without Any Crowd Due To Local Bodies Elections: BCCI Secy Saikia

Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) secretary Devajit Saikia told IANS that two of the upcoming league stage matches of the ongoing Womens Premier League (WPL) 2026 will likely be held behind closed doors due to elections for the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), the civic body for Mumbai, and Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation (NMMC) in the state. With most security personnel deployed for elections, it may be difficult to manage the crowd on the day of the polling, January 15, and the day before, January 14. Hence, the Indian cricket board is contemplating whether to allow spectators into the DY Patil stadium for the Delhi Capitals vs UP Warriorz fixture and the Mumbai Indians vs UP Warriorz contest, scheduled for Wednesday and Thursday, respectively. However, spectators will be allowed to attend the Gujarat Giants vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru game on January 16, with the BCCI secretary informing that the counting day is not being taken into account. There are going to be polls on January 15, so on January 14 and on the day of the polling, we are discussing whether the WPL matches can go on without any crowd. Once we finalise it, we will give a public notice. We're still contemplating that. Matches will be held as scheduled, but we're still discussing whether there will be a crowd. It does not include the 16th because the election is on the 15th. I think the 16th will be the counting day, so we are not factoring that in, Saikia told IANS. The WPL fixture list was released on November 29 last year, while the election schedule was made public on December 15. It is understood that the WPL organisers were informed soon after the election dates were finalised.
