WPL 2026: Mandhana's Masterclass Keeps RCB Unbeaten With Fourth Win
DY Patil Sports Academy: Smriti Mandhana fell heartbreakingly short of a maiden Women's Premier League (WPL) century, but her commanding 96 set up Royal Challengers Bengalurus (RCB) emphatic eight-wicket win over Delhi Capitals, as RCB made it four wins in as many matches to remain unbeaten at the top of the WPL 2026 points table at the Dr. DY Patil Sports Academy. As RCB chased down a target of 167, they wrapped up their last game of the Navi Mumbai leg comfortably with ten balls remaining. This comprehensive victory was slightly tempered by the fact that Smriti Mandhana was out for 96 in 61 balls for RCB, denying the league its first century. Earlier, Smriti Mandhana decided to bowl after winning the toss, which reaped immediate benefits for RCB. Lauren Bell had an incredible first over, causing damage to DC with two early wickets, Lizee Lee (4) and Laura Wolvaardt (0). The pressure increased when Sayali Satghare, stepping in for Ellyse Perry, took two wickets in her next over. She bowled out Jemimah Rodrigues and Marizanne Kapp on consecutive deliveries, leaving DC in a tough spot at 10/4 within two overs. DC found themselves in a very difficult position; however, Shafali Verma came out swinging, scoring 62 off just 41 deliveries and hitting five fours and four sixes. She formed a crucial 59-run partnership for the fifth wicket with Niki Prasad, who had a tough outing after being dropped by Gautami Naik in the last over of the powerplay. Niki managed just 12 runs. Shafali continued her offensive in the middle overs, getting good support from Sneh Rana, who contributed 22 runs off 22 balls. After Bell dismissed Shafali in the 17th over, debutant Lucy Hamilton provided a late boost with a bold 36 off 19 balls, while N Sree Charani chipped in with 11 runs. DC was bowled out on the final ball, reaching a total of 166. The bowlers for RCB shared the wickets, with Bell taking 3/26 and Satghare 3/27. Prema Rawat claimed 2/16, and Nadine de Klerk added 1/31, as Nandani Sharma was run out off the last delivery.

WPL 2026: 'Momentum Building At The Right Time,' Says Lanning After Warriorz Second Straight Win
Australian Phoebe Litchfield: UP Warriorz captain Meg Lanning hailed her sides planning, execution and growing confidence after they registered their second consecutive victory in the Womens Premier League, handing Mumbai Indians their second straight defeat. Lanning, who was named Player of the Match, said the win was a significant morale booster after a difficult start to the season. Reflecting on the turnaround, Lanning said the Warriorz had remained positive despite losing their first three matches of the campaign. It was a nice bounce-back for us. Losing the first three wasnt ideal, but the group stayed upbeat. We were confident in our ability and knew we just needed to bring it for a little bit longer, she said after the match. Warriorz set the tone with a strong batting performance, led by Lanning herself, who struck a fluent 70 off 45 balls, an innings that also saw her become the first player to register 11 half-centuries in WPL history. After the early loss of opener Kiran Navgire for a duck, Lanning found a reliable partner in fellow Australian Phoebe Litchfield, with the duo stitching together a crucial 119-run stand. Lanning praised the clarity in preparation that has helped the team deliver back-to-back wins against quality opposition. We did a lot of planning. We spoke a lot about how we wanted to execute. Theyve got some pretty strong batters, so you need very clear plans against them. I think in the last two games, weve really nailed that planning process, she said. She added that the off-field work has translated well into on-field results. Then we came out into the game very clear about what we wanted to do. Its been nice to have that work off the field transfer into execution on the field as well. The UP skipper also highlighted her growing understanding with Litchfield at the crease, crediting the young batter for taking pressure off her with an attacking approach. Its nice batting with Phoebe Litchfield. We hit to different areas of the ground, and I think we complement each other really well. Were starting to understand each others games too, so we can help each other out when needed. She took a lot of pressure off me with the strike rate she had, Lanning said. Despite posting a competitive total, Lanning felt there was still room for improvement with the bat, particularly at the death. I think we can finish off our batting innings a little bit better. I thought Mumbai bowled extremely well and took the pace right off. So its about adjusting to that and making sure we can finish strongly and carry momentum into the second innings, she noted. UP Warriorz then backed up their batting effort with a disciplined bowling display, tightening the screws in key phases to restrict the Mumbai Indians and secure the win. The collective effort with the ball underlined the teams improved execution, something Lanning believes will be crucial going forward.

WPL 2026: 'At This Level, You Cant Keep Making Mistakes,' Says Harmanpreet After MI Loss
DY Patil Stadium: Mumbai Indians captain Harmanpreet Kaur admitted that her sides repeated mistakes, particularly in the batting powerplay and in the field, proved costly as they suffered their second consecutive loss against UP Warriorz in the Womens Premier League (WPL) 2026 10th match at DY Patil Stadium on Saturday. Reflecting on the defeat, Harmanpreet said Mumbai had a clear plan while chasing a total of 187 runs, but failed to execute it as a unit. We wanted to chase as a group. Even though we didnt bowl well, we were still able to restrict them to under 200, which was a good thing. But in batting, we were not great in the power play, she said. The Mumbai skipper acknowledged that slow starts with the bat have been a recurring concern. Every game, we are not coming with a positive mindset in the powerplay. Thats something we really need to work on. If you dont start well, it puts a lot of pressure on the middle and lower order, Harmanpreet added. She also pointed to missed chances in the field as a major turning point, particularly during the decisive partnership between Meg Lanning and Phoebe Litchfield. The Australian duo put together a 119-run stand, laying the foundation for UP Warriorz imposing total of 187 for eight. They were batting really hard, and unfortunately, we missed a few chances. At this level, if you keep missing chances, the other team is going to put a lot of pressure on you, and thats exactly what happened today, Harmanpreet said. Mumbai Indians chase never fully gained momentum despite a spirited fightback from Amelia Kerr and Amanjot Kaur. Kerr scored a brisk 49 off 28 balls, while Amanjot struck 41 off 24 deliveries, adding a crucial partnership that briefly revived hopes of a win. Harmanpreet praised the duo for their effort. They both put us in a situation where we had a little hope that we could win the match. It was good to see them batting really well, and hopefully theyll continue, she said. Harmanpreet also highlighted the importance of young wicketkeeper Gunalan Kamalini, who impressed behind the stumps. She is a very important player for the team and is doing really great things behind the stumps. Hopefully, shell continue that, she noted.

WPL 2026: Collective Bowling Effort Guides UP Warriorz To Second Straight Win Over Mumbai Indians
DY Patil Stadium: A commanding batting effort led by skipper Meg Lanning, followed by a disciplined and collective bowling performance, helped UP Warriorz register a convincing 22-run victory over defending champions Mumbai Indians in the Womens Premier League (WPL) 2026 10th match at the DY Patil Stadium here on Saturday. Mumbai Indians chase of a challenging 188-run target faltered despite a fighting effort in the end from Amanjot and Amelia Kerr, as they were restricted to 165 for six in 20 overs against UP Warriorz. The defending champions got off to a shaky start, losing early wickets that put them on the back foot from the outset. Opening batter Sajeevan Sajana (10) struggled to find rhythm and was dismissed cheaply inside the powerplay, while Hayley Matthews (13), returning to the side, failed to provide the explosive start Mumbai were hoping for. Matthews fell after making a brief contribution, leaving the Mumbai Indians in early trouble. Captain Harmanpreet Kaur attempted to steady the innings but found it difficult to break free against disciplined bowling from UP Warriorz. She was dismissed for a modest score of just 18 runs, further denting Mumbais chase and increasing the pressure on the middle order. With wickets falling at regular intervals, Mumbai Indians found themselves well behind the required run rate during the first half of the innings. The responsibility then fell on Amelia Kerr, who once again proved to be Mumbai Indians most impactful all-rounder. Kerr played a counter-attacking knock of 49 runs off 28 balls, striking the ball cleanly and targeting the shorter boundaries. Her innings included a mix of powerful strokes and clever placement, briefly reviving Mumbais hopes of pulling off the chase. Kerr found valuable support in Amanjot Kaur, who played one of her finest innings in the league. Amanjot scored a fluent 41 off just 24 deliveries, showing composure and intent as she rotated the strike well and punished loose balls. The duo added 83 runs for the fifth wicket, the most significant partnership of the Mumbai Indians innings, and brought the required rate down to manageable levels. However, UP Warriorz struck at a crucial moment to break the momentum. Shikha Pandey removed Amanjot Kaur with a well-directed delivery, ending the dangerous partnership and shifting the momentum back in Warriorzs favour. Kerr remained unbeaten but could not win the match for her team. The Warriorz bowling attack worked effectively as a unit, with Deepti Sharma controlling the tempo through tight overs and clever variations, while Sophie Ecclestone and Kranti Gaud applied pressure in the middle overs. Shikha Pandey finished with impressive figures, providing key breakthroughs when Mumbai looked to accelerate. Batting first after losing the toss, UP Warriorz recovered strongly from an early setback to post an imposing total of 187 for eight, a score that proved beyond Mumbai Indians reach despite a spirited fightback in the last overs. The Warriorz were jolted in the very first over when Kiran Navgire was bowled for a golden duck by Nicola Carey. However, captain Meg Lanning once again showcased her class and composure under pressure, forging a crucial partnership with fellow Australian Phoebe Litchfield to wrest back control of the innings. Lanning and Litchfield batted with authority and intelligence, combining caution with controlled aggression as they added 119 runs for the second wicket, the second-highest partnership for UP Warriorz in WPL history. Lanning anchored the stand with her trademark precision, finding gaps consistently and punishing loose deliveries, while Litchfield complemented her skipper with fluent strokeplay and fearless shot selection. Lanning brought up her half-century in just 33 balls with a towering six off Amelia Kerr, marking her 11th fifty in the league and setting a new WPL record. She eventually fell for a superb 70 off 45 deliveries, an innings studded with 11 fours and two sixes, while Litchfield departed soon after for an impressive 61 off 37 balls, having struck seven boundaries and three maximums. After the departure of the Australian duo, UP Warriorz continued to maintain momentum through brisk contributions from Chloe Tryon (21) and Harleen Deol (25). The late flourish ensured the Warriorz finished strongly despite a remarkable last over from Amelia Kerr, who claimed three wickets in quick succession to finish with figures of 3 for 28.

WPL 2026: Lanning, Litchfield Guide UP Warriorz To 187 Against Mumbai Indians
DY Patil Stadium: An impressive batting effort by captain Meg Lanning and Phoebe Litchfield propelled UP Warriorz to 187/8 against Mumbai Indians, despite a dramatic final over by Amelia Kerr, in their Womens Premier League match here at the DY Patil Stadium on Saturday. UP Warriorz suffered an early setback when Kiran Navgire was bowled for a golden duck in the first over by Nicola Carey, but Lanning and Litchfield quickly got the innings under control with a 119-run second-wicket partnership. The duo mixed timing with power to punish loose deliveries, taking advantage of some sloppy fielding by the Mumbai Indians, who dropped chances and missed run-out opportunities at crucial moments. Lanning played the anchor role with a fluent 70 off 45 balls, striking 11 fours and two sixes, while Litchfield provided the acceleration with a fiery knock of 61 off 37 deliveries, laced with seven fours and three sixes. Their impressive stand laid a solid platform and put the Mumbai bowlers under sustained pressure. After Litchfield was caught at deep square leg, Lanning continued the onslaught before falling to Hayley Matthews. Chloe Tryon and Harleen Deol then added valuable runs in the middle and death overs, with Harleen striking a quick 25 off 16 balls to keep the momentum going. Mumbai Indians, however, fought back strongly at the death through Amelia Kerr, who produced a sensational final over. The New Zealand leg-spinner claimed three wickets in the last over, removing Harleen Deol, Sophie Ecclestone and Deepti Sharma, finishing with brilliant figures of 3-28 that helped restrict the Warriorz from crossing the 190-run mark. Earlier, Nat Sciver-Brunt picked up two wickets, and Nichola Carey also got one wicket to her name.
