Harmanpreet and Devine take back WPL 2026 Orange and Purple Caps
There were some other changes at the top of the leaderboards after the WPL 2026 game between Gujarat Giants and Mumbai Indians on Friday night
WPL 2024: Mumbai Indians Lacked Consistency, Poor Start Hurt Campaign, Says Coach Lisa Keightley
Mumbai Indians head coach Lisa Keightley admitted that the defending champions never found consistency, and a poor start affected their campaign in the Women's Premier League (WPL). MI suffered an 11-run defeat against the Gujarat Giants at BCA Stadium on Friday. The loss defeat further dented the Mumbai Indians' chances of qualifying for the playoffs. We definitely struggled early to get going. Injuries and sicknesses to key players made things tough, and we had to adjust combinations more than we wanted. We could not build the partnerships needed to gain momentum, which put us under pressure straight away. Losing matches early in the tournament was not ideal. Keightley said to the media after the loss. Mumbais difficulties began even before the opening match when all-rounder Hayley Matthews sustained a quad niggle during a practice game after arriving in India. Keightley admitted that her absence for the opening matches forced the team to abandon its planned opening combination and go for a makeshift one, which continued throughout the season. We were very clear on what our lineup looked like going into the tournament. When Hayley was unavailable for the first few games, we had to work out new combinations. Replacing a world-class opening batter is never easy. Keightley said. After experimenting with several opening pairs from the start, Mumbai eventually backed S Sajana to partner with Matthews at the top of the order. Keightley praised the Indian all-rounder for adapting to a new role under pressure. We feel Sajana and Hayley are our best options at the top. She started the tournament very well in a different role and then had to make adjustments for the team. Facing world-class bowlers is never easy, but she prepared well and put the team first, she said. The head coach also focused on what went wrong for the team against the Giants. She felt that the two overs in which they conceded 36 runs were the turning point. The two overs after their time-out were a big shift. We had things under control until then, but that phase changed the game, she said. Keightley credited the opposition for handling the key moments better in the second innings when Harmanpreet Kaur was playing a brilliant knock. They bowled really well and were simply better than us when it mattered, she said. The two overs after their time-out were a big shift. We had things under control until then, but that phase changed the game, she said.

WPL 2026: It Was Really Nice To Have An Impact With Both Bat And Ball, Says Wareham
Georgia Wareham: Leg-spin bowling all-rounder Georgia Wareham, who struck an unbeaten 44 and later picked two wickets in Gujarat Giants sealing an 11-run win over Mumbai Indians in a decisive 2026 WPL clash, said she felt really nice to have an impact with both bat and ball. Georgia was adjudged Player of the Match for her all-round contributions in helping GG break the MI hoodoo. It was really nice to have an impact today with both bat and ball. I probably let myself down a little in both aspects during the first part of the season. So to contribute to a win tonight, Im really happy with that, she said in the post-match presentation ceremony. Asked on how she assesses the conditions, Georgia said, I think what weve seen is that giving yourself a few balls to get going has been really important. Just allowing yourself that time to settle in. Thats what I tried to do today - give myself a few extra balls, get used to the pace, and then build from there. I think thats been the trend across games here at Vadodara. On how much her batting does help her bowling, Georgia said, I think batting definitely helps. Having a good understanding of how the conditions are playing makes a big difference. Weve been pretty good batting first and then defending with the ball, so by the time I get the ball after the powerplay, Ive got a fairly clear idea of what to expect. That said, our plans dont change too much - we try to hit the stumps as much as possible and keep all modes of dismissal in play. Veteran seam-bowling all-rounder Sophie Devine, who also picked two wickets and played a key role in the field, praised the teams collective effort. I thought we were probably a few runs short on the board, but the way Ash (Gardner) and Wolfie (Wareham) batted to get us to that score was fantastic. After that, it was up to the bowlers, and I thought the way we fielded today was excellent. We demanded a lot from our fielders and knew that could be the difference, and I thought we were really good. To hold our nerve against a Mumbai side - and especially when Harman is hitting the ball like that - full credit to the team. Asked if the first 10 overs of their bowling set up GGs win, Sophie said, Especially on this wicket, which was a bit tougher, taking early wickets, particularly in the powerplay and the first 10 overs, is always crucial. We know that no matter where you play, those early breakthroughs help set the game up. Getting rid of players like Nat and Hayley, who can cause serious damage, was a big help. That said, when Harman gets on a roll, it sometimes feels like no total is big enough. But the first 10 overs were outstanding, and to maintain that intensity till the end and just sneak home was really nice. Quizzed if the decision to bat first paid off, Sophie said, Im not entirely sure what the difference is, because its the same lineup. I think weve just had really good success batting first. I know the trend has been ridiculous - something like 40 tosses in a row where teams chose to bowl first. But on a wicket we thought would tire, having first use of it helped. We back ourselves batting first. That said, were also comfortable chasing. Ash is a pretty hopeless tosser, so it doesnt really matter what we want - we just get told what to do anyway. GG will play the Eliminator on Tuesday and Sophie said how do they will approach the break time. Look, Ill probably see you (Charles Dagnall) and Marto (Katey Martin) at the golf course tomorrow. Im having a buzz. But jokes aside, its really important that we take a couple of days off. But on a wicket we thought would tire, having first use of it helped. We back ourselves batting first. That said, were also comfortable chasing. Ash is a pretty hopeless tosser, so it doesnt really matter what we want - we just get told what to do anyway. Also Read: Live Cricket Score Well enjoy tonight and celebrate the win, but over the next few days well start building again towards the eliminator on Tuesday, staying consistent with how we train and prepare, she concluded.

With a playoffs spot secured, GG celebrated the victorious moment by waving to their home crowd. GG didnt have the best of starts they lost Beth Mooney for five, caught splendidly by Sajeevan Sajana at mid-wicket off Shabnim Ismail in the third over. Sophie and Anushka Sharma then steadied the innings with a 48-run stand. Devine struck three boundaries in her 25, while Anushka looked fluent in hitting four fours and a six in making 33. But both fell in successive overs to Amelia and Nat Sciver-Brunt Anushka miscued the googly to long-on while Sophie pulled straight to deep mid-wicket. With GG at 71/3, Ashleigh and Georgia took their time to rebuild, before striking boundaries at will. Ashleigh upped the ante when she struck Hayley Matthews for three fours and a six in the 16th over. She and Georgia then hit Shabnim for two boundaries each to bring the innings back on track. Though Ashleigh fell in the 18th over, Georgia nailed a four and six off Nat to ensure GG went past 165-mark. Chasing 168, Hayley Matthews opened her account with a boundary off Renuka Singh in the very first over, while Sajeevan Sajana flicked, cut and lofted to pick three quick boundaries. The breakthrough for GG came in the fifth over when had Hayley chopping on to her stumps for six. Sajana was next to fall miscuing to mid-off against Kashvee Gautam, before Nat pulled straight to mid-wicket off Sophie. Harmanpreet walked in under pressure and immediately looked assured by taking boundaries off Georgia and Rajeshwari Gayakwad. Amelia Kerr provided support by cutting and pulling to get her boundaries. But Georgia broke the 45-run stand in the 12th over when Amelia went for a cut, but was smartly caught by Beth Mooney behind the stumps. Harmanpreet, however, continued to anchor the chase slog-sweeping and driving her way, before sweeping Rajeshwari for six to bring up her 11th WPL fifty and sixth against GG. But GG fought back when Amanjot Kaur was stumped off Rajeshwari in the 17th over, while Sanskriti Gupta fell lbw to Wareham without scoring.

We probably just havent quite finished our innings with the bat in hand. Its been a little bit similar with the ball as well, weve let a few things slip towards the back end of the innings. But honestly, probably a little bit everywhere. We still havent played our best game of cricket yet. It probably gives us a little bit of freedom with the bat, not having a total in mind. It leaves all possibilities open, and weve defended quite well with the ball, Georgia told broadcasters ahead of the clash against Mumbai Indians at the BCA Stadium. The winner of Fridays clash will seal their spot in the playoffs, while the loser would be forced to wait till the result of Delhi Capitals-UP Warriorz clash to know their future progress in the competition. Georgia also revealed the new nickname for Sophie, who has been a clutch death bowler for GG as seen from her stopping Delhi Capitals twice from completing a chase in the final over. Weve seen how well Sophies been bowling, especially in the last couple of overs against DC - they were incredibly clutch from her. But I think weve done quite well as a bowling unit, winning those tight moments when defending. The winner of Fridays clash will seal their spot in the playoffs, while the loser would be forced to wait till the result of Delhi Capitals-UP Warriorz clash to know their future progress in the competition. Also Read: Live Cricket Score Asked what would be the key for her to excel in Vadodara, Georgia said, I think its been pretty well documented, just hitting the stumps as much as you possibly can. Especially with the variable bounce out here and the potential for spin. Most of the dismissals have been bowled or LBW, and the lower strike rates come when were hitting the stumps. So as bowlers, thats what weve got to try and do. Article Source: IANS

Ranjane In Line For T20I Debut As USA Announces Squad For 2026 Mens T20 WC
The International Cricket Council: Shubham Ranjane, who previously played for Mumbai in the Indian domestic cricket circuit, is in line for a T20I debut after being named in the 15-member squad of the United States of America (USA) for the 2026 ICC Mens T20 World Cup, starting in Sri Lanka and India on February 7. USA have been placed in Group A, where they will face Pakistan, Namibia, the Netherlands, and defending champions India. As part of their build-up to the World Cup, the USA has held an extended training camp in Sri Lanka to acclimatise to subcontinental conditions. The sessions have centred on sharpening skills, improving game awareness and strengthening team cohesion. USA will start their campaign on against India in Mumbai on February 7. Our training in Sri Lanka pushed this team to new heights. We hit every target and thats a testament to the players dedication and hard work. The World Cup squad is strong, balanced, and ready to dominate in every department. Well make those final adjustments before heading to Mumbai, and were fully confident in our teams potential, said head coach Pubudu Dassanayake in an ICC statement on Friday. Ten of the fifteen players played for USA in the 2024 Mens T20 World Cup, while Ranjane will be seeking to make his international debut in the shortest format after having played four ODIs for the side. Apart from him, Mohammad Mohsin and Shehan Jayasuriya will be seeking to make their international debut for USA. It will be USAs second appearance at the tournament, after having stunned 2009 champions Pakistan during their maiden campaign in 2024 on home soil before advancing to the Super 8 stage in the West Indies. The Monank Patel-led side will be aiming to build on that breakthrough performance and make another impact on the global stage through the upcoming mega event. The International Cricket Council (ICC) Board previously suspended USA Cricket on September 23 last year, citing serious breaches of membership criteria. In its ruling, the Board said national team players would not be penalised by the organisations governance and financial turmoil, confirming that U.S. teams would continue to feature in ICC events under interim coordination by the global body. With USA Cricket under suspension and having filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, the ICC said it worked with the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Committee (USOPC) to establish a new selection process. The move, the ICC added, was aimed at ensuring transparency and a merit-based system to identify the best eligible players to represent the USA side in the mega event. All Members of the selection panel submitted Conflict of Interest forms to the USOPC ahead of the meeting and the selection meeting was observed by a USOPC appointed Compliance Officer to ensure adherence to the Cricket Selection Procedures, further said the ICC.
