WPL 2026: It's Just About Keeping Things Super Simple, Doing What We've Done Well, Says Voll

Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Royal Challengers Bengaluru top-order batter Georgia Voll said the key to handling huge expectations around the franchise in the 2026 Women's Premier League (WPL) final will be keeping things simple, doing what has gone well for them before and not getting overwhelmed by the occasion. Smriti Mandhana-led RCB are in the WPL final for the second time after finishing as table-toppers in the league stage. The franchise won their first WPL title in 2024 after beating Delhi Capitals in the final at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi. RCB awaits the winner of the Eliminator clash between DC and Gujarat Giants in Thursdays title clash at the BCA Stadium in Kotambi, Vadodara. I think obviously it's a big expectation when we see the sort of team that we're a part of and the fan base that we have at RCB is something that I've never been a part of. So, obviously there's that sort of expectation of the fans and outside. But I think within our group it's just about keeping things super simple and doing what we've done well all year and not trying to change that in terms of the final. I think if we can continue to do the small things well and not think too big a picture is what we'll be looking to do and hopefully we can bring that trophy home, Georgia told IANS in a select virtual interaction on Tuesday. The WPL has provided overseas players like Georgia a unique opportunity to share the dressing room with India's domestic players. Georgia, who has made 91 runs in five innings so far for RCB, has taken the mantle of being a researcher for best coffee shops in both Navi Mumbai and Vadodara. She revealed an amusing side to life in the RCB camp, including her ongoing campaign to get skipper Smriti Mandhana to make her a coffee. It's been pretty cool. Obviously, being in these different T20 tournaments around the world, obviously a lot of the Indian girls don't sort of venture over to the Big Bash or the Hundred. You only sort of see a couple of them. To come over here and be sort of a part of their competition and see the way that they go about things as a whole group, we've obviously spent quite a bit of time together and it's been cool to see the way that they go about things and they're pretty quiet off the field as well. I don't see a lot of them other than when they come into my room for a coffee occasionally. I'm still getting Smriti to try and make me a coffee, but that hasn't worked yet. So, hopefully I can get her to make me one by the time we leave here, she said. To come over here and be sort of a part of their competition and see the way that they go about things as a whole group, we've obviously spent quite a bit of time together and it's been cool to see the way that they go about things and they're pretty quiet off the field as well. Also Read: Live Cricket Score Obviously similar to what Georgia said. I haven't got to play much with the Indian players before. So, especially around training and stuff, it's been really nice to see how they go about things and done a lot of bowling in the nets with Radha and Shrey (Shreyanka Patil) which has been really nice just to see how they approach things and the different things that they work on. It's been nice to explore different ways to train and how they go about things. Article Source: IANS

WPL 2026 Eliminator: DC Ask GG To Bat As Both Teams Bank On Unchanged XI

Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Delhi Capitals won the toss and elected to bowl first against Gujarat Giants in the crucial Eliminator tie of the Womens Premier League (WPL) 2026 at the BCA Stadium (Kotambi). With both sides heading into the contest with an unchanged XI from their previous game, the winner will go on to face Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in the final on Thursday. The fourth edition of the Womens Premier League has been characterised by narrow margins, making dominant wins uncommon. Delhi Capitals have experienced this pressure firsthand, failing twice in run chases against Gujarat Giants in the league stage and struggling to finish close games under the steady leadership of Sophie Devine. Those results shaped contrasting routes to the eliminator. Gujarat Giants finished second on the table, sealing their spot with an impressive win over defending champions Mumbai Indians on the final league day. Delhi, in contrast, had to wait until the very end to confirm qualification. Yet, as the Eliminator arrives, past journeys matter little. Both teams arrive with strong recent form at the venue, winning three of their last four matches and having settled into their line-ups after brief tactical adjustments. The main difference is in depth: Delhi Capitals have received match-winning contributions from many players, whereas Gujarat Giants rely heavily on a few key individuals. Whether this reliance costs them, or Devine once again steps up to lead the Giants to their first final, promises an exciting knockout clash. Winning the toss, DC skipper Jemimah Rodrigues said, It looks like a fresh surface. Any target feels chaseable, and with the dew coming in, the pitch should get a little better under lights. Just control the controllables is the message to the team. Today is a new game, if any game matters the most it is tonight. So want to win. Meanwhile, GG captain Ashleigh Gardner said, We were going to bat and just had a feeling they might want to bowl and it worked out well. We want to be aggressive with the bat and take it on the powerplay. Nothing changes for us tonight. Looks very similar to the last couple of wickets. Assess conditions quickly and adapt on the run.

WPL 2026: Season-opening Win Over MI Gave A Lot Of Confidence, Says RCBs Nadine De Klerk

Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Big-hitting all-rounder Nadine de Klerk has pointed to the WPL 2026 opening match, where Royal Challengers Bengaluru beat Mumbai Indians by three wickets, as the catalyst for the franchise believing that this could be a special season for them. In that game at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai, RCB were struggling to get going in the chase of 155 and were reeling at 65/5 in the eighth over. But Nadine, who picked a four-for earlier, came in and got going to hit an unbeaten 63 and pull off a heist for RCB. That game began a dominating run for the Smriti Mandhana-led side, who are now gearing up to play the title clash on Thursday. I think momentum is really a big thing in T20 competitions, especially when the games come thick and fast - like they do in this competition. So I guess obviously it was the first game of the tournament and there's been a massive build-up around that game obviously. I guess just to get over the line and get a win from a difficult position with our backs against the wall and then giving ourselves the confidence that if we end up in that same position again, we can do the same thing, and we have actually (done that). It's been different players doing that for us, whether it was Radha or Smriti or Grace or Richa has done it for us and we've had so many batters that actually stood up when we were under pressure and pulled out some sort of miracle, which is obviously great. I think in the final, we're going to need more of that. So it's great that people have done it in this competition and take that confidence with them as well into the final, Nadine told IANS in a select virtual interaction on Tuesday. The tournament has presented challenges in the second half, when action shifted from high-scoring games in Navi Mumbai to pitches in Vadodara giving assistance to spinners. Nadine explained how she has made that adjustment in terms of her all-round role on Vadodaras slow pitches. Obviously quite hard for the bowlers in Navi Mumbai - high-scoring games and the wickets were pretty good for batting, and boundaries were quite small. I guess the biggest thing for us was to just really again stick to our strengths, use your pace off or use your strengths, stay on the stumps as much as you can. It's been a little different, maybe not as much bounce, maybe a little bit slower as well. But I think we've adjusted really well. We've recognised that maybe going down the ground when you're batting is a better option than going across the line. I think we've adapted really well to the conditions and we've executed pretty well over the last couple of games as well, she said. For a long time, Nadine struggled to be a regular starter in WPL playing elevens for RCB and Mumbai Indians. But this time in the absence of star all-rounder Ellyse Perry, Nadine has become a regular starter for RCB seen from her amassing 126 runs as a finisher and being the second leading wicket-taker with 15 scalps. Nadines mantra of finishing games has been very simple: its all about timing, being in a good position and staying really calm in the last four or five overs, when the onus is on her to pull off jaw-dropping heists. The South African revealed that maintaining a never-give-up attitude under pressure comes from an acceptance that failure is part of the game, combined with a personal ritual keeping her grounded. It's not always easy, but I think a little bit of faith really helps. I think just about, I mean, as a professional cricketer, you do know that things are not always going to go your way. You're not going to pick up wickets every game, you're not going to be economical every game, and you're not going to finish off games every single time and I think that is okay as well. I think making peace with the fact that you are going to fail sometimes, that's just how cricket works. Dealing with it, not trying to get hung up on that too much. I think try and move on quickly, whether you've scored hundred or got a duck. I just try to take the learnings and move on quickly. But like I said, it's very important for me in whatever role I play, whether it's with bat or ball. I mean, any cricketer really is always under pressure. So whatever works for you, but like I said, for me, it's just one small prayer that really does miracles. It really just keeps you calm and I think once you are calm, you just make better decisions and your natural skill set will just kick in as well, she elaborated. In RCBs final league game win over UP Warriorz, the scrambled seam became Nadines go-to option Meg Lanning was caught at cover point, while Amy Jones was trapped lbw on WPL debut. She again used the scrambled seam well to get two more scalps in the back-end and add more sheen to her value as the best bowler in middle and death overs in WPL 2026. Nadine signed off by revealing how her South Africa team-mate Anneke Bosch was the main driving force behind her developing the scrambled seam delivery. Its actually a funny story. I'm obviously an out-swing bowler. We actually played a Test match against England. Weird enough, Anneke Bosch was a seamer back in the day. She said to me, try bowling that cross seam ball for the one to kind of that. She bowled someone through the gate by getting it to nip back. I've actually started working on that a bit because people always expect me to swing the ball away.

But you learn from different people on this journey as you go, and sometimes different things work for you. I feel like that specific ball has worked really well for me over the last couple of years.

T20I skipper Suryakumar Yadav was slotted to bat at No. 4, while Hardik Pandya, Shivam Dube and Rinku Singh will continue to play the middle order and finisher role for the team. Chahal went with two spinners in Axar Patel and Varun Chakravarthy and two specialist seamers in the form of Jasprit Bumrah and Arshdeep Singh.

UHA's Pentad Pavilion Selected for Exhibition at India Art Fair 2026

Pentad Paviliona parliament and playground in onemoves this week to India Art Fair 2026 in New Delhi after a star turn at ADFF:STIR Mumbai. The pavilion, designed by international architecture and design firm UHA , was one of ten curated from 75 entries by Aric Chen, Director of the Zaha Hadid Foundation, with a distinguished jury panel consisting of Hans Ulrich Obrist, Lesley Lokko OBE, Raj Rewal, Ma Yansong, and Martha Thorne, and is the only one to make its way to India Art Fair. UHA's Pentad Pavillion on exhibition last month at ADFF:STIR in Mumbai,The Pavilion will be exhibited this week at India Art Fair in Delhi With the pavilion, we wanted to reimagine the spaces where decisions are made by bringing together five global modes of assembly: circular, semicircular, horseshoe, opposing benches and classroom , said Joseph R. Goodwin, UHAs design lead on the project . Pentad is about observation, participation, and belonging - and after seeing all the ways visitors interacted at ADFF:STIR Mumbai last month, we're excited to see continued provocation through play in its second home . The competition for ADFF:STIR asked how architecture can frame new social relations, exploring the ties between space, movement and event. Pentad, a two level structure which is 41 square meters and stands 6.4 meters high, takes inspiration from the new Indian parliament, one of almost 100 UN member states to have explored post-colonial identity through a rebalancing of colour, materiality, symbolism, and tradition. The pavilion and the parliament will stand a mere ten kilometres apart for the duration of India Art Fair, bridging the gap between play and politics. The pavilion design explores the effect of combining the five modes of plenary spaces, allowing visitors the opportunity to explore, engage, and experiment within these modes while they are wrapped, overlapped, or stacked. Pentad mirrors a bicameral approach while being designed to be reconfigurable. Seating, shading, and the play of proximity and transparency dissolve the binary nature of the chambers, becoming multi-cameral and supporting all five modes of meeting. A hidden system of talk tubes is woven through the structure, enabling visitors to listen and participate, eavesdrop and interrupt. Antechambers become crawl spaces, slides can be fitted to disrupt the rowed seating, and lower chamber swing hooks can be used to hang a new form of judicial seating. The brief for the initial pavilion design encouraged the team to think beyond a monofunctional space, actively considering its afterlife. Pentad is now in the first phase of that afterlife, making its journey to Delhi after its successful debut in the Jaquar Pavilion Park at ADFF:STIR 2026, in Mumbai. Pentad is supported by STIR for its exhibition at India Art Fair. Beyond the meaning that the pavilion itself embodies, one important factor for its satisfactory realisation was its public use. Pentad hosted numerous workshops and talks as a part of ADFF:STIR Mumbais public programme. Halfway across the country, in New Delhi, Pentad retains its essence by lending itself to public discourse at the India Art Fair. It will offer a space for all its visitors to explore their curiosities.
