For DC-W, the experience of Marizanne Kapp is important with the ball. Today Match Prediction : DC-W seem to have struggling with their combination, whereas GG-W are looking solid.

DY Patil Stadium: Delhi Capitals skipper Jemimah Rodrigues remained level-headed and constructive while reviewing her team's 50-run loss against the Mumbai Indians in their first match of the tournament. The captain encouraged her batting unit and believes that this loss is part of a learning process for a fairly new team. Defending champions Mumbai Indians (MI) bounced back within 24 hours of their 2026 WPL season opening loss to seal an emphatic 50-run victory over Delhi Capitals (DC) at the DY Patil Stadium on Saturday. Nat SciverBrunt and captain Harmanpreet Kaur set the tone with authoritative knocks of 70 and 74 not out to guide MI to 195/4. DCs chase faltered from the outset as their top order collapsed inside the powerplay. Jemimah pointed out that while the target was well within reach and the bowling effort was encouraging, the batting failed to click due to a lack of partnershipsan area she acknowledged the team will work on going forward. Yeah, I think today was one of those games. We were still pretty good with the ball and the target was definitely chaseable, but with the bat we didnt manage to build partnerships. Thats something well work on. I think today was just one of those days where the partnerships didnt click, Jemimah said after the match. She stated that although the result wasn't ideal, it doesn't define the group and supported the strength of the Capitals batting order to bounce back strongly from this defeat. Its a slightly different team from before, so I dont think we should be too harsh on ourselves or let one game define us as a team. Weve got a really strong batting line-up and I know were going to bounce back.

I think in the last game it came down to bowling one good ball, and unfortunately we couldnt do that. But even then, we were still in the game. Today, we came in with a more positive mindset, knowing that if we didnt play good cricket yesterday and were still in it, imagine how good we could be if we played well.

Today was a new day, a new innings, and I wanted to go in with the same mindset, no matter what happened before. It was a great game for us. Really happy with the way we played today.

WPL 2026: Harmanpreet, Sciver-Brunt Star As MI Thrash DC By 50 Runs (Ld)
DY Patil Stadium: Defending champions Mumbai Indians (MI) bounced back within 24 hours of their 2026 WPL season opening loss to seal an emphatic 50-run victory over Delhi Capitals (DC) at the DY Patil Stadium on Saturday. Nat SciverBrunt and captain Harmanpreet Kaur set the tone with authoritative knocks of 70 and 74 not out to guide MI to 195/4. DCs chase faltered from the outset as their top order collapsed inside the powerplay. From there, despite Chinelle Henrys 56, the pursuit of 195 became increasingly out of reach as DC were bowled out for 149 in 19 overs, as MI opened their account in an emphatic fashion. For MI, Amelia Kerr and Nicola Carey bowled decisive spells to pick three-fers each. Asked to bat first, MI showed greater intent as compared to their previous outing. Though the openers fell early, Nat anchored the innings with her sparkling 13 boundaries to hit 70 off 46 balls. She also shared a 66-run stand with Harmanpreet, who was at her blistering best to hit an unbeaten 74 off 42 balls, laced with eight fours and three sixes, and push MI to an above-par total by feasting on DCs many hittable deliveries. DC had a brilliant start as Amelia Kerrs opening woes led to her playing a loose drive off Chinelle Henry and wicketkeeper Lizelle Lee dived to her right to take the catch on her second attempt. Nat collected her first boundary by driving firmly past midoff for four, before pushing in the gap through off-side to pick another boundary. The England skipper followed it up with a series of crisp strokes swatting Marizanne Kapp for four, before swiping and lofting Chinelle for consecutive boundaries. G Kamalini opened her account with singles against Marizanne Kapp before a lucky outside edge got her a boundary. But Nat continued to accelerate shuffling across to sweep Sree Charani twice to the fence in the fifth over. The breakthrough for DC came when debutant pacer Nandani Sharma, after being hit for backtoback boundaries by Kamalini, forced the left-hander to drive at a very full ball and was caught behind by Lizelle for 16. Nat continued to pick boundaries with precision reverse-sweeping and pulling off Sneh Raha, before punching Charani through the gap at cover. After getting her fifty off 32 balls, Nat punished Minnu Mani by hitting three boundaries in five balls driving over extra cover, flatbatting over the infield and pulled in front of square. Harmanpreet, meanwhile, broke the shackles by lifting Chinelles slower ball over longon for six before lofting the next delivery over midoff for four. Nat attempted to drive Charani over extra cover but failed to generate elevation, as the fielder held a sharp catch to end a fluent 70-run knock. Harmanpreet led MIs surge by driving Charani and slogging Sneh for boundaries, while Nicola Carey provided valuable support, striking successive fours off Sneh Rana via reverse sweep and cut. The duo took a boundary each off Marizanne, before Harmanpreet raised her fifty by swinging a full toss from Minnu over mid-wicket for six. But Nicola fell for 21 when she looked to pull off Nandani, but the ball crashed into the stumps. Harmanpreet ended the innings in style by striking Charani for four consecutive boundaries - slicing, sweeping, lofting and slicing as 19 runs came off the final over. Lizelle Lee began DCs chase by picking two early fours, but chipped to mid-on off Nat Sciver-Brunt for 10. Shafali Verma followed her to the pavilion after being castled through the gate by an inswinger from Nicola Carey, who later got some nip back in to rattle Laura Wolvaardts off-stump. Jemimah Rodrigues first outing as DC skipper ended at just one when she went for a flashy cut off Shabnim, but was caught by keeper G Kamalini diving to complete a sharp onehanded take, as MIs disciplined newball attack dismantled their top order even before the powerplay had ended. DCs troubles deepened when Marizanne Kapp played a lofted drive off a pitchedup delivery from Nicola, but only managed to get an outside edge and was caught by short third fielder for ten. Niki Prasad and Chinelle Henry provided brief resistance by striking six boundaries between themselves, before a googly from Amelia Kerr castled the former while trying to go across the line.

Shreyas Should Be Mindful Of Risk Of Hurrying And Wanting To Start Well, Says Bangar
Vijay Hazare Trophy: Former India batting coach Sanjay Bangar has cautioned Shreyas Iyer against rushing into his comeback, adding that he should be mindful of the risk of getting into hurry while batting and the urge to start well in the ODI series opener against New Zealand, to be held in Vadodara on Sunday. Iyer, India's ODI vice-captain, is set to return to international cricket after suffering a serious spleen injury while attempting to take a catch of Alex Carey in the third ODI in Sydney on October 25. He was admitted to a hospital with internal bleeding from a spleen laceration and underwent a minor operation for the same. He missed India's 2-1 ODI series win over South Africa, but has recovered since and proved his fitness by playing Mumbais last two league games in the Vijay Hazare Trophy (VHT) in Jaipur, where he scored 82 and 45. The one risk is that you can get hurried, wanting to start well and contribute immediately. That is what Shreyas Iyer should be mindful of. But he has made a good comeback, playing well for his home team in domestic cricket. He understands ODI cricket very well. He has been in international cricket for years. Since 2023, the way he played in the World Cup, dominating spin, was a treat to watch. His skills will be very useful. In the last series, Ruturaj Gaikwad got the number four spot for his spin play. Now Shreyas Iyer returns and takes that spot back, so his strong point will be used fully, said Bangar on JioStar. Bangar also weighed in on Shubman Gills early days as Indias ODI captain, describing him as a work in progress skipper. It is early days. Shubman Gill had a great Test tour of England and a tough one in Australia. You cannot judge him too much right now. It is a work in progress. The more he captains, the better he will get. He has good support on the field, with access to the experience of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli for leadership decisions under pressure. He is going to grow and eventually become a good ODI captain, he said. On Gill India in ODIs at home, Bangar pointed to spinfriendly conditions and a settled batting order as his advantages against an inexperienced New Zealand outfit. Leading in home ODIs should not be a problem for Shubman Gill. You are playing in your own backyard. You have fantastic spinners like Kuldeep Yadav who can do the job. He has good support on the field, with access to the experience of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli for leadership decisions under pressure. He is going to grow and eventually become a good ODI captain, he said. Also Read: Live Cricket Score Also, with high-performing batters like Shreyas Iyer coming back and KL Rahul being consistent in a different role, there are many batting positives. From an Indian view, playing at home means spin can be a strength again, especially in the middle overs, he concluded. Article Source: IANS

WPL 2026: Gardner And Anushka Cause Havoc As Gujarat Giants Post 207/4 Against UP Warriorz
DY Patil Stadium: A blistering 103-run partnership between captain Ashleigh Gardner and debutant Anushka Sharma powered Gujarat Giants to a commanding total of 207/4 in 20 overs against UP Warriorz in the second match of the Womens Premier League (WPL) 2026 at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai on Saturday. Asked to bat after losing the toss, Gujarat Giants openers Sophie Devine and Beth Mooney struggled in the first over, with Kranti Gaud bowling a tight length to the opponents. Devine finally got the momentum in the next over, where she scored 14 runs off Shikha Pandeys bowling. She continued her attack in the next three overs as the Warriorz kept changing the bowlers. Meg Lannings team finally got their first breakthrough in the fifth over, with Mooney (13) completely missing Sophie Ecclestones delivery, which hit the top of the off stump. Her partner Devine (38) also fell in the final over of the Power-play when she was caught at midwicket by Phoebe Litchfield off Shikha Pandeys cross-seam delivery. Batting at number three in her first match, Anushka did not let the momentum shift after the two wickets, hammering a boundary towards square-leg on her fourth ball. The young batter then struck three more fours and crossed the 30-run mark in just 20 balls. The Madhya Pradesh batter also rotated the strike consistently with captain Gardner to keep the scoreboard moving. Anushkas innings ended on the first ball of the 16th over when she lofted a pitched-up delivery from Deandra Dottin, but the shot lacked power and went straight into the hands of Harleen Deol at long on. She narrowly missed a well-deserved half-century, scoring 44 runs off 30 balls. Captain Gardner started her innings at a measured pace, focusing on building a partnership with the young debutant. She changed gears in the 13th over by striking three fours off four balls from Kranti Gaud. The 28-year-old then smashed four sixes and one boundary in her next eight balls to complete her first fifty of the season in 31 deliveries. The Warriorz finally managed to dismiss Gardner in the 18th over when she was bowled by Sophie Ecclestones tossed-up delivery on leg stump that drifted into the right-hander. Gardner scored 65 runs off 41 balls, an innings that included four boundaries and three sixes. Georgia Wareham and Bharti Fulmali ensured Gujarat finished on a high note, adding 34 runs in the final two overs. Wareham struck at a rate of 270, remaining unbeaten on 27 off just 10 balls, while Bharti scored 14 runs off seven deliveries. For Warriorz, Ecclestone was the most successful bowler with two wickets to her name, followed by Shikha Pandey and Deandra Dottin, who took one each. Georgia Wareham and Bharti Fulmali ensured Gujarat finished on a high note, adding 34 runs in the final two overs.

Mumbai: Citizen groups invite netas to meets, seek civic assurances
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Former India captain Mithali Raj has highlighted the partnership between Nadine de Klerk and Arundhati Reddy, which laid the platform for Royal Challengers Bengaluru's thrilling victory over Mumbai Indians in the Women's Premier League (WPL) 2026 opener in Navi Mumbai. Nadine de Klerk hammered a 44-ball 63 not out, while Arundhati contributed 20 off 23 balls, as they shared a 52-run partnership. RCB made a winning start in the tournament they won in 2024. They rescued RCB from a precarious 67/5 soon after the Power-play, before the South African all-rounder sealed victory. Season 4 of the WPL got off to a thrilling start with a last-ball finish, as de Klerk hammered 20 runs off the last four balls against the Mumbai Indians in the opener at the DY Patil Stadium on Friday night. The partnership between Nadine de Klerk and Arundhati Reddy really brought the game back for RCB. This is exactly how we want WPL Season 4 to begin, and it certainly delivered, Raj said on JioStar. We were talking during the game about wanting the match to be a real nail-biter, one that goes right down to the wire, and thats exactly what happened, right till the last ball. There were several moments in the game where RCB had the Mumbai Indians under pressure. For the longest time in the first innings, up until the 15th over, RCB had a grip on the game by picking up early wickets and breaking the MI top order. However, that pressure was released in the final five overs. RCB also started well in the Power-play, despite losing wickets and not having any substantial partnerships early on, she said. Talking about Nadine de Klerks partnership with Arundhati Reddy, Mithali said, Nadine not only has a strong awareness of her own game, but she has also delivered these impactful knocks consistently, which speaks volumes about the quality and skill she brings. The partnership with Arundhati Reddy is something we really need to highlight; it wasnt just about Nadine batting till the end. She needed someone to play a supporting role, and Arundhati did that exceptionally well. They had to build that partnership for Nadine to play such an impactful innings. Without that support, she may have been dismissed much earlier. Because of that partnership, Nadine knew she could take the game deep and push it till the final over. Katey Martin also analysed de Klerks match-winning performance and said the all-rounder backed herself to clear the ropes. I think there was real clarity in the way Nadine went about her innings. She knows she can back herself to clear the ropes, and that confidence is crucial. Weve spoken so much about the importance of Nadine de Klerk. Her bowling was outstanding in the first innings; she knew exactly what worked from a bowlers perspective, and she carried that awareness into her batting. She produced something special under pressure and was probably the only player who truly held her nerve throughout the day. In moments like these, it comes down to who can handle the biggest pressure situations, and weve seen Nadine do it before. Shes banked that confidence over the last 18 months, Martin stated.
