According to the Indian captain, Tilak has recovered and will join the team next week in Mumbai, and he will also play two practice matches ahead of the tournament. Tilak Vermahe has been shaping well. I heard he is playing two games in Bombay on the 2nd and the 4th. I think two games are enough. I spoke to him yesterday only, Suryakumar Yadav said late on Saturday night. He has started batting, bowling, fielding, and everything. So, hopefully, we should have him soon, he added. India's premier all-rounder, Sunder, is currently undergoing rehabilitation at the BCCI's Centre of Excellence (CoE). Sunder was part of Indias playing XI in the first ODI against New Zealand in Vadodara on January 11. He suffered a rib injury while bowling in that fixture, but despite that, he came out to bat and helped India secure a win. Speaking on Sunder's fitness, the captain said the all-rounder has started batting and bowling practice, and the captain is expecting him to join the team soon.

WPL 2026: We Still Havent Played Our Best Game Of Cricket Yet, Says GGs Wareham
Gujarat Giants: Gujarat Giants leg-spin bowling all-rounder Georgia Wareham said her side still has room for improvement despite strong recent performances in the 2026 Womens Premier League (WPL), stressing that both batting and bowling units are yet to deliver their best game. To be honest, all facets, I think. Weve started really well in the powerplay with the bat over the last couple of games. Sophie (Devine) has been unbelievable at the top for us. 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

WPL 2026: Happy Ive Gone Back To Some Older Patterns, Seems To Be Working, Says RCBs Grace Harris
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: All-rounder Grace Harris said that going back to some older patterns with her batting has worked out for her and proved useful after she produced a decisive all-round performance to power Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) into the final of the Womens Premier League (WPL) 2026 as RCB cruised to an eight-wicket win over UP Warriorz in Vadodara on Thursday. Harris was central to RCBs dominance, first picking up 2 for 22 with the ball before blasting a 37-ball 75 in a chase that never looked in doubt. Her contributions ensured the 2024 champions chased down the 144-run target in just 13.1 overs, sealing their sixth win of the season. Im just really glad to be classified as an all-rounder for this game. I was pretty happy when Smriti said, 'Youre going to get on next over', and I thought, 'yes, I get to bowl today', Harris told broadcasters after the game, reflecting on her impact in both disciplines. Chasing 144, RCB seized control from the outset, with Harris attacking from the first over and setting the tone for a ruthless Power-play. She punished anything on her pads, dismantled Kranti Gaud in a boundary-laden over, and took the attack to the spinners as she and her opening partner, skipper Smriti Mandhana, raced to 63/0 in six overs. Harris brought up her half-century just after the Power-play, muscling S. Asha over long on, and continued to access all areas of the ground with apparent ease. The freedom in her strokeplay, she explained, was the result of simplifying her approach. With the batting, weve been working on a few things, and Im happy Ive gone back to some older patterns. It seems to be working. Im feeling a bit more free, not thinking too much, and thats made a big difference. Mainly my head position, along with a few small technical tweaks. Tactically, its about where I can set up to best access certain bowlers. But I can overthink that, so Ive gone back to being freer. Thats allowed me to access more areas of the ground and not worry too much about the one ball that might get me out, she said. The carnage against the UPWs attack continued until Harris was dismissed on the first ball of the 10th over, but by then RCB had already wiped out 108 runs from the chase. The Aussie added that while tactical planning remained important, her current focus was on clarity rather than complication. We do go through the tactical side -- whether to play from the crease or step out -- based on the spinner and the conditions on the day. Right now, Im trying not to overthink it again, and I think thats helped. Im fairly powerful, so Im lucky to be in a position where I can back my best shot to clear the boundary. Im just trying to cash in when I can and free myself up, the RCB opener added. After Harris dismissal, Mandhana took charge, accelerating to her half-century as RCB finished off the chase with 41 balls to spare. Harris also shed light on their opening partnership, describing the contrast in personalities and the communication that helped maintain momentum. When we glove-tap, Im probably the one using all the oxygen with the talking. Shes very composed, knows her own game, and just lets me say whatever I need to. She helps refocus me for the next ball using my own keywords, gives me a little heads-up on what the bowlers might do, and where I could hit it. And after that - well, lets see what happens, she said. After Harris dismissal, Mandhana took charge, accelerating to her half-century as RCB finished off the chase with 41 balls to spare.

WPL 2026: We Kept Saying Were Just One Win Away From Final, Says Mandhana As RCB Storm Into Final
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) skipper Smriti Mandhana revealed that her message to the team ahead of their crucial clash against UP Warriorz (UPW) was no different from the one delivered in their previous games, a reminder that they were just one win away from the final. That clarity of purpose paid rich dividends on Thursday as RCB cruised to an eight-wicket victory, becoming the first team to qualify for the final of the Womens Premier League (WPL) 2026 in Vadodara. After restricting UP Warriorz to 143/8, RCB chased down the target with ease in just 13.1 overs, underlining their dominance in a high-stakes encounter. Mandhana acknowledged that the Warriorz openers, Meg Lanning and Deepti Sharma, gave their side a strong start before RCBs bowlers wrested back control. It was brilliant. They started really well with the bat - almost 60-70 without loss -- and from there the bowlers made a strong comeback. A special mention to Grace, coming in to bowl for the first time in the tournament and picking up two crucial wickets. Nadine bowled really well again, and honestly, everyone just chipped in and bowled extremely well. When the team bowls like that, its a very pleasing sight to watch, Mandhana told broadcasters after the game. The RCB captain also highlighted the teams calm and practical approach following recent setbacks, stressing the importance of not letting emotions dictate performances. Over the last two games, weve just told ourselves not to think emotionally or dig a hole for ourselves. Weve played really good cricket in the first five matches. In tournaments like this, sometimes you have to give credit to the opposition as well - like Nat (Sciver-Brunt) playing a blinder in the previous game. So we reviewed things practically, focused on what we could do better, and worked on that. Mandhana reiterated that consistency in messaging from the support staff played a key role in keeping the squad focused during the business end of the tournament. Honestly, the message was the same as the last few matches -- we kept saying were just one win away from the final, and nothing changed. The support staff have been very consistent in their messaging, whether we win or lose, and that consistency really helps us as players. For the last three matches, it was always about being one win away, and Im just happy that today we could get that win and go straight into the final. Mandhana reiterated that consistency in messaging from the support staff played a key role in keeping the squad focused during the business end of the tournament.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru: UP Warriorz's skipper Meg Lanning expressed disappointment after her side lost a crucial encounter against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) by eight wickets on Thursday as the 2024 champions sealed their place in the 2026 Womens Premier League (WPL) final at the BCA Stadium, Kotambi, in Vadodara. Lanning said that whenever the batters failed to carry on after getting themselves onto a reasonable platform and believes that the same theme has been followed by the team throughout the tournament this season. Really disappointing. We got ourselves onto a reasonable platform with the bat, but just couldnt carry on. Its probably been a bit of a theme throughout the tournament -- we get some momentum and then lose wickets at crucial times, often in clumps. Thats not ideal in T20 cricket. And then with the ball, we never really got going, Lanning told broadcasters after the game. The former Australia captain lavished praise on Grace Harris, whose whirlwind knock of 75 runs helped RCB finish off the 144-run chase with ease in just 13.1 overs. Grace was outstanding again; she put away anything we missed and finished it off beautifully. So credit to her and to RCB - unfortunately, we just didnt put our best foot forward tonight. As I mentioned, every time weve had some momentum with the bat, weve given our wickets away and made it a little bit too easy for the opposition. Theyve capitalised really well. In T20 cricket, when batters get in and get going, you need to maximise that. Weve probably underdone that -- myself included. I got to 40, which is a good start, but you need to keep going. Thats been a theme across the whole tournament, and its something we need to improve. Grace was outstanding again; she put away anything we missed and finished it off beautifully. So credit to her and to RCB - unfortunately, we just didnt put our best foot forward tonight.

We had time to recover and train before coming into this game, so there are no excuses. I dont think it played a major role. RCB outplayed us tonight, and we just werent good enough.

WPL 2026: Harris, Mandhana Power RCB Into Final With Dominant Win Over UPW
Baroda Cricket Association Stadium: Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) became the first team to book a place in the final of the Womens Premier League (WPL) 2026 after cruising to an eight-wicket victory over UP Warriorz (UPW) at the Baroda Cricket Association Stadium, Kotambi, in Vadodara on Thursday. Chasing 144, RCB made light work of the target, finishing the chase in just 13.1 overs on the back of commanding half-centuries by Grace Harris and skipper Smriti Mandhana. Harris smashed a fluent 75, while Mandhana anchored the innings with an unbeaten 54. The opening pair set the tone early, racing to 63 runs in the Power-play before stitching together a 108-run stand in just 9.1 overs. Harris was eventually dismissed by Shikha Pandey, but the damage had already been done. Georgia Voll added a brisk 16 during a 35-run partnership with Mandhana before falling to Asha Sobhana. The RCB skipper, who reached her fifty shortly before Volls dismissal, sealed the win in style with a boundary off Deepti Sharma. Earlier, UP Warriorz posted 143/8 after being asked to bat first, courtesy of a strong start from skipper Meg Lanning and a composed knock by Deepti. The duo put on 74 runs for the opening wicket, including 50 in the Power-play, UPWs first 50-plus opening stand of the season. Lanning looked set for a big score before being dismissed for 41 by Nadine de Klerk, who also removed debutant Amy Jones soon after to swing momentum RCBs way. Deepti held the innings together with a resilient 43-ball 55, but regular wickets at the other end prevented UPW from accelerating in the latter stages. De Klerk was the standout bowler for RCB, finishing with figures of 4-22, while Grace Harris chipped in with two wickets. UPWs below-par total and ineffective Power-play bowling proved costly, bringing an end to their playoff hopes.

WPL 2026: Pooja Vastrakar Returns, Amy Jones Replaces Litchfield As RCB Ask UPW To Bat
Baroda Cricket Association Stadium: Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) won the toss and elected to bowl first against UP Warriorz (UPW) in the 18th match of the 2026 Womens Premier League (WPL) 2026 at the Baroda Cricket Association Stadium (Kotambi) in Vadodara on Thursday. Following a slow start, the venue's recent two matches have shown improved batting conditions, with teams scoring over 170 in each of the last four innings. In contrast, this total was only exceeded once during the first eight innings. Despite this, the last two games have seen teams successfully defend, providing chasing teams with some food for thought. UP Warriorz face a setback as Phoebe Litchfield has been ruled out of the remainder of the tournament due to an injury, and Amy Jones has been added as her replacement. The Aussie has returned home to begin her rehab, aiming to recover in time for the multi-format home series against India starting next month. Its a must-win game for the Warriorz, who will keep their qualification hopes alive with a win but will bow out of the tournament and face elimination if they end up losing. RCB, meanwhile, became the first team to qualify for the playoffs with five consecutive wins to start their campaign. However, they have recently faced setbacks but continue to dominate at the top of the table, and a victory against UPW will confirm their place in the final. Winning the toss, RCB skipper Smriti Mandhana said, Good wicket to bat on, already played against Mumbai Indians, need to bowl in good areas. One thing I've mentioned is to think tactically, not emotionally. We've done a lot of things right to win the first 5, just keep things simple, someone else might play better cricket, just keep it simple. Speaking of the teams playing combination, Mandhana mentioned that Pooja Vastrakar is set to make her comeback to competitive cricket after a prolonged injury break, saying, We have one change, Pooja comes back in place of Gautami, she had one year off, looking forward to her comeback. She's good to bat, bowling will take some time, we'll have a look at how things progress. Meanwhile, UP Warriorz skipper Meg Lanning mentioned that Jones has replaced Litchfield in the XI. We need to win every game we play, so there's nothing to lose as far as we're concerned. It was a nice break, we focused on things that we need to get better at, places where we can improve, and we're happy to come into the XI. A couple of changes - Amy Jones comes in place of Litchfield, Simran is in place of Navgire. A new opening partner for me, she said.
