WPL 2026: Delhi Capitals Backed By Former Coach To End Trophy Jinx On Fourth Attempt
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Delhi Capitals will attempt to shake off three successive final defeats when they face Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the 2026 Women's Premier League (WPL) decider clash in Vadodara on Thursday, with the sides former fielding coach Milap Mewada backing the side to finally break their jinx in the title clash. DC have always reached the WPLs summit clash since the tournament's inception in 2023, but are yet to lift the trophy, a record that weighs on a squad now led by Jemimah Rodrigues in her first season as their captain. Their route to this year's WPL final was far from smooth - they lost three of their first four matches, before DC clawed back in the Vadodara leg by winning four out of five games to finish third in the league stage and then eliminated Gujarat Giants in the eliminator clash, indicating that they are peaking at the right time. According to me, the mind works towards a feeling that whenever you walk on the road and fall down, you always have that fear of falling down again after reaching a certain point. But in order to avoid, remove or nullify this, first of all you have to be very positive. Second, every day is a new day and its another game of cricket. Here, the thing is you have to work out a little bit on a game plan and take some good suitable decisions in the final. Plus, this is like a new place where they will play the final and the only thing DC have to do is to believe in themselves now and believe in this momentum, said Mewada, who kept track of DCs progress while being busy with his commitments as Goa senior mens team head coach, to IANS on Wednesday. DC have emerged as the tournament's most efficient fielding unit, with their catching percentage at 83.6 percent, according to data provided by CricViz analysts embedded with the franchises scouting team. They held 41 chances and dropped only eight across nine matches, thus placing them comfortably ahead of finalists RCB, which stands at 79 percent. While they looked initially out of sorts, DCs bowling attack has picked up pace as the season progressed. Four DC bowlers feature in the tournament's top 10 wicket-takers the impressive young pacer Nandni Sharma (16 wickets), left-arm spinner N Sree Charani (14), as well as overseas seam-bowling all-rounders Chinelle Henry (12) and Marizanne Kapp (10). Delhi Capitals were the best fielding side in the league by objective measures. The group assessed Vadodara conditions early, where the pitch was lower-scoring compared to DY Patil, and adjusted their approach accordingly. Jemimahs captaincy improved over the season. Even during losses, selection and messaging stayed consistent, which helped maintain morale. The team made only two changes across the entire tournament, the fewest in the league, aiding continuity. Batters largely played straight, and bowlers consistently kept the stumps in play, which suited the conditions, said CricViz analysts, who are a part of the DC scouting team, to IANS. Mewada, who was in the DC camp when they lost the WPL 2025 final to Mumbai Indians at the Brabourne Stadium, listed his advice for the side ahead of the title clash at BCA Stadium. First thing, they do not have to think that we have been a fourth time finalist and we could not win. But there could be reasons behind being a fourth time finalist. That means, there is something in you. At least, you are consistent in being the finalists. Number two is, you handle yourself well for that particular three hours. That's as simple as it is. You have to handle yourself and take good decisions, which is most important. Take very good decisions and play peacefully. So, I think, they can make it to the trophy this time, as everybody has that belief. As per the analysts, the fate of DC in the final against Smriti Mandhana-led RCB will depend on how openers Shafali Verma and Lizelle Lee fare, especially in the face of in-form new-ball pacer Lauren Bell. The explosive batting duo have three 50-plus stands (all of them resulting in wins) in nine innings so far, the most by any opening pair this season. Their partnership has averaged 40.11 runs (the fourth highest for a batting pair in WPL), while their highest partnership of 94 came at a brisk run rate of 8.84 and smacking 75 in the power-play in the Eliminator showcased their ability to combine aggression with stability. Though they havent yet registered a century stand, their aggregate of 361 is the second-highest partnership total in the tournament, only behind 383 runs made by Smriti and Grace Harris. The moment I saw Lizelle Lee batting in WPL for the first time, I felt she is actually made for opening in white ball cricket. DCs plan should be in a way that Lizelle and Shafali bat for beyond 6-8 overs. If they can do this and even when they are chasing, like if it's 200, then it is possible, as both of them are game changers. After them, Laura, Jemi, Henry and others will manage the scoring. But the most important thing is, as long as these two bat for long and set the tone, it will be very beneficial for DC. The momentum they have now after winning the eliminator, it is a very good thing that they have come up from behind and into the final. So chances are high for them to get over the line in the final this time, added Mewada. Jemimah's leadership has evolved through the tournament, even as her own batting required adjustment. A week ago, a three-run loss to GG that saw Jemimah being bowled while attempting a scoop shot, DC's campaign appeared to be unraveling. But in the Eliminator on Tuesday, Jemimah sprinted across the outfield to encourage her bowlers, and hit her boundaries with a trademark delight that appeared to galvanize the entire squad. Winning the Eliminator is a good omen for DC as the one whos won that game has gone on to win the WPL. Jemimah's leadership has evolved through the tournament, even as her own batting required adjustment.

Playing the final for the fourth time, I am sure if they forget about what has happened before and this is the only moment where we are going to give our best, they can manage to get the trophy, concluded Mewada.

'It Was About Having Clear Heads', Says Chinelle Henry After DC March Into Fourth Straight WPL Final
As Delhi Capitals: As Delhi Capitals sealed their place in the final of the Womens Premier League 2026 with a commanding seven-wicket win over Gujarat Giants in the Eliminator at the BCA Stadium here on Tuesday, allrounder Chinelle Henry reflected on the mindset of heading into the Eliminator, saying it was about having clear heads and staying calm. Chasing a target of 169, DC completed the chase with 26 balls to spare, booking a final clash against Royal Challengers Bengaluru and extending their record of qualifying for every WPL final to four. Before we went in, we had a small conversation about how we were going to go about it. In the previous games we played them, we came out on the wrong end in some pretty tight matches. This time it was about having clear heads and staying calm while chasing this total. An explosive opening partnership of 89 off 43 between Lizelle Lee (43 off 24) and Shafali Verma 31 off 21) laid the foundation for the chase before the middle order steered DC towards the favoured outcome. Speaking about the clarity within the group and the trust in individual roles, Henry added, It was about having clear plans and backing our strengths because we know how dangerous Shafali and Lizelle are at the top of the order. Regardless of the score, it was just about going out there and playing our game. Speaking about leadership within the team she said, As a pace unit, a lot of the work is done behind the scenes. We pick each others brains and have a lot of conversations, especially about conditions. Jemimah (Rodrigues) is always willing to have those conversations about what is working and what each bowlers strengths are. Sharing the powerplay with (Marizanne) Kapp is special. We constantly talk about plans and how we can help the team together. Earlier, DCs bowlers played a decisive role in putting the Giants under pressure with Chinelle Henry picking 3 and Nandni Sharma with 2 scalps derailing the opposition's momentum. With her performance, Nandni achieved a landmark feat, becoming the highest wicket taking Indian bowler in a single WPL season, moving to 16 wickets in the 2026 edition and remaining in contention for the Purple Cap. Opening up on the belief within the squad in high-pressure situations, Henry said, As a team, we trust each other and we believe in the ability of the group. Whether it was Lizelle, Shafali, Jemimah or Laura, or the rest of us at the back end, we knew the job that we had to do. Henry has played a key role for DC this season, contributing across departments. Speaking about her role she said, I was brought into this team as an all-rounder. If one part is not going your way, the other can fall into place. I am just happy to be helping the team in whichever way that I can. Over the past couple of years, it has been about developing different skills, not just bowling with the new ball but being effective in different phases of the game and also improving my batting by reading situations better. With the team now turning their focus to the final, Henry said, It does not matter whether you have a quick turnaround. As a unit, we are never switched off. The conversations about how we can get better are always happening. Over the past couple of years, it has been about developing different skills, not just bowling with the new ball but being effective in different phases of the game and also improving my batting by reading situations better.

To improve awareness about and access to the availability of senior care services and products, Antara Senior Care - India’s only fully integrated senior care ecosystem - has joined hands with Star Union Dai-ichi Life Insurance (SUD Life), one of India’s fastest growing and prominent life insurance providers in India. The tie-up takes an integrated approach towards senior wellness and financial literacy with the initiative set to culminate in the launch of specialised financial products for seniors. According to The Longitudinal Ageing Study of India (LASI) 2021 report by the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, only 28% seniors are aware of any concessions, schemes or benefits available for them, a mere 18% are covered by health insurance, and 78% live without pension cover. The fact that ~70% seniors are completely dependent on family and relatives for everyday needs despite various government schemes and emerging private sector solutions underlines the need for initiatives to further awareness about age-care services. The Antara-SUD Life partnership is a decisive step in that direction. Ishaan Khanna, CEO, Antara Assisted Care Services, said, “We are pleased to collaborate with Star Union Dai-ichi Life Insurance to promote well-informed, proactive ageing, enabling seniors to lead healthier, more independent lives. Backed by the Max Group’s legacy in healthcare and the experience of developing one of India’s most comprehensive senior care ecosystems, Antara is uniquely positioned to help SUD Life Insurance customers and their families understand various facets of holistic wellness to secure their future.” Mr. Abhay Tewari, MD & CEO, Star Union Dai-ichi Life Insurance, said, “We are delighted to partner with Antara to deliver a structured and holistic approach to senior citizen well-being, integrating financial security with overall wellness. At its core, this initiative is about helping people understand their choices and plan with more confidence. As longevity increases, such integrated solutions will play a critical role in helping individuals plan with confidence for the years ahead.” As India’s foremost fully integrated senior care ecosystem with services spanning from award-winning residences to NABH-accredited Care Homes to D2C wellness website AGEasy, Antara will use its expertise, derived from serving over five lakh seniors, to craft digital-first, information-rich communication for SUD Life’s customers and employees. Antara experts will also lead webinars and on-ground engagements to further awareness about the different types of care needed through differing phases of ageing and the financial solutions and tools needed to equip seniors and their families. Insurance specialists from Star Union Dai-ichi Life Insurance curated and launched exclusive financial products that can be used by Antara customers. India is at the cusp of a significant demographic shift. According to the JLL-ASLI 2024 report, the country’s senior population is poised to more than double from 156.7 million in 2024 to 347 million by 2050. UNFPA data projects that the population of people aged 80+ in India will grow by approximately 279% between 2022 and 2050, bringing with it complex challenges be they financial or care related. Addressing these requires integrated, scalable solutions that go beyond healthcare alone – a gap addressed by this tie-up between Antara Senior Care and SUD Life. About Antara Senior Care Launched in 2013, Antara is the senior-care business of Max India Limited, part of the $7-billion Max Group. It is an integrated ecosystem for senior care, operating in two main lines of business - Residences for Seniors and Assisted Care Services. Antara’s first senior residential community in Dehradun, comprising nearly 200 families, caters to their social, recreational, educational, wellness, and health-related needs. In the near future, it will open its second senior living community in Noida’s Sector-150, with families moving into the 340 apartments built in the first phase. Expanding its footprint in Gurugram, Antara will manage senior living residences, dedicated spaces for senior living, and primary healthcare services at Estate 360 and Estate 361, developed by Max Estates.

AGEasy, an online and offline store focusing on senior-specific products and solutions to manage chronic health conditions at home, has touched over 5 lakh lives since inception in 2023.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Head coach Michael Klinger felt the Gujarat Giants' WPL 2026 season demonstrated noticeable progress, despite an overall sense of unfinished goals, as the side concluded their campaign with a loss to Delhi Capitals in the Eliminator on Tuesday. Securing second place on the points table marked a positive advancement and showed that the Giants maintained composure in close matches throughout the league phase. However, it also identified areas for improvement, especially during the most critical moments. They achieved a clean sweep of UP Warriorz, ending a long winless streak against the Mumbai Indians, and narrowly defeated Delhi Capitals twice in last-over finishes, with Sophie Devine's calm under pressure playing a key role. The margins of victory were often very close, and their confidence was clear, even though losses to Royal Challengers Bengaluru in both encounters prevented a higher league-stage position. As Klinger noted, the season ended in disappointment once again, with the Giants missing out on successive Eliminators in 2025 and 2026. Yeah, certainly, finishing outright second this year is a huge improvement. Probably the two finals (Eliminators) we played, both last year and this year, we just didn't play at our best. We spoke about it today in our team meeting - that when we play close to our best, we're a chance to beat any team in this competition - and we just weren't quite there today, in our batting and our bowling, Klinger said, addressing the media after the Giants' loss to DC. Nonetheless, the overall evaluation stayed positive. We've learned a lot about our squad this year. Whether we won the final or not, or the championship or not, we're pretty clear on the areas we need to improve next year. We've got plenty of time - about 10 months now - to watch more cricket from both local and overseas players, tinker a little bit, and hopefully come back bigger and stronger next year. To qualify two years in a row, there are always teams who would much prefer to be where we are than already gone home. So we're satisfied with that, but at the same time we're aiming for bigger things. It didn't happen this year, but we'll keep giving ourselves a chance by qualifying, and hopefully next year we'll play stronger cricket in the bigger games, he said. Klinger expressed optimism about the Indian talent in the squad, viewing this season as a foundation rather than a ceiling. I think it's about players taking the next step. Anushka (Sharma) had a good season for her first year. She got a lot of good starts, which for a young player is fantastic. The next step for her is realising how good she is, and that she can be a 300-plus run WPL player going forward. She's a fantastic player and person, and she's probably a big chance to play for India before next year's WPL. I hope she does, because that international experience will help her for us next year as well. I thought Bharti (Fulmali) started the season really well and played some fantastic innings. Potentially, the lower bounce here (in Vadodara) didn't quite suit her, so she couldn't get going. It's more about belief - that they don't just have to contribute, but can dominate, like some of the other Indian batters in the competition. If they come in with that attitude next year, they'll be fine. Obviously, we'll have Yastika (Bhatia) next year, touch wood, if she's fit and healthy, which will add another quality Indian player, said Klinger. Klinger discussed effort, balance, and potential improvements from a bowling perspective. He highlighted the narrow victories over DC as proof of the team's fighting spirit, which they highly value. The two wins against Delhi showed our fighting spirit - even when we were up against it in the last six balls. We talk about that a lot. In our team room, we have a big sign that says 'fight'. We'll certainly speak to all the players - maybe not tonight with emotions running high, but over time. Everyone's going back to domestic cricket, and there are areas everyone can work on, whether it's our quicks or our spinners. Klinger discussed effort, balance, and potential improvements from a bowling perspective. He highlighted the narrow victories over DC as proof of the team's fighting spirit, which they highly value. Also Read: Live Cricket Score Regarding the spinners, who played a smaller role, Klinger said, Our spinners didn't get as many overs this year - TK (Tanuja Kanwer) and Raj (Rajeshwari Gayakwad) - but that was more about our team make-up. We had a lot of all-rounders: Ash (Gardner), Georgia (Wareham), Sophie Devine. We didn't have Georgia last year. With three overseas all-rounders bowling, it wasn't a reflection on the spinners, just how we balanced our overs. Article Source: IANS

Captain Jemimah: Delhi Capitals captain Jemimah Rodrigues credited the teams belief, calm decision-making and a collective bowling effort after her side stormed into a fourth consecutive Womens Premier League (WPL) final with a seven-wicket win over Gujarat Giants in the Eliminator on Tuesday here at the BCA Stadium (Kotambi). This finals feels different for sure. But also I think with GG, the last two games didnt go our way. We were. Last over we needed seven runs, today we won by seven wickets. So I think when you just keep believing as a team, magic happens, Jemimah said in the post-match presentation after receiving the Player of the Match award. Delhis emphatic chase of 168 in just 15.4 overs underlined their growing authority in knockout fixtures. It was their first win over Gujarat after three straight defeats and continued a striking pattern; each of Delhis five victories this season has come while chasing. The result also ensured that Delhi became the first team to reach four consecutive WPL finals, after Meg Lanning led the team to the summit clash in the previous three editions. Jemimah revealed there was no dramatic tactical shift ahead of the must-win game, stressing simplicity over overthinking. Nothing. To be honest, nothing. Even our team meeting was very short today, she said. I think we just thought of not overthinking it or trying too hard. Just sit back, trust each other, trust yourself, go out there, play good cricket, and when you do things the right way and stay calm, things fall into place. While the chase grabbed headlines, Jemimah was quick to acknowledge the groundwork laid by her bowlers, who restricted Gujarat to 168/7 despite a resilient knock from Beth Mooney. I think a lot of credit goes to our bowlers. Kappy, Im saying this, our bowlers won us the game today, she said. But to be honest, they make me look good as a captain. You know, its easy to set a field, its easy to get the bowling changes, but youve got to still go out there and deliver. And everyones been delivering. Delhis pursuit briefly wobbled when both openers fell in the same over, but Jemimah said the team remained unfazed. Yeah, I think today was restoration for us. I would just say that, she said. And to be honest, the way Shafali and Lee, from both the ends, you know, if they bat that way, its very hard as a bowling team. Where do you bowl? So Im so glad both of them are in my team. She added that the partnership with Laura Wolvaardt was built on clarity rather than scoreboard pressure. At the same time, two wickets falling. That does build a lot of pressure, but I love the way both Wolfie and I just kept playing good, positive cricket. Didnt worry too much about the score again. We played according to the merit and stuck to our strengths. Delhis pursuit briefly wobbled when both openers fell in the same over, but Jemimah said the team remained unfazed.

Losing Sophie Devine: Gujarat Giants captain Ashleigh Gardner admitted her side paid a heavy price for a sluggish start with the ball as Delhi Capitals cruised to a seven-wicket victory, but noted the positives from their campaign and expressed pride, stating that this is the most balanced side that theyve had, pointing to the emergence of young Indian talent such as Anushka Sharma, alongside experienced campaigners like Rajeshwari Gayakwad and Devine. Despite posting a competitive 168/7, rescued by a composed Beth Mooney and a vital middle-overs partnership with Georgia Wareham, Gujarat were quickly put on the back foot by Delhis aggressive intent in the powerplay. Lizelle Lee and Shafali Verma capitalised on anything loose, racing away to 75 runs inside the first six overs and effectively setting the tone for the chase. We felt like that was enough at halfway if we bowled well, Gardner said after the match. But when you dont start the powerplay, either taking wickets or restricting runs, it brings that team in, and obviously they took the powerplay on. Thats their ammo, and they did that brilliantly today. Gardner pointed to missed execution and an inability to apply sustained pressure as decisive factors, particularly under dew-laden conditions that made control difficult. Once the dew sets in, the ball slides on if you miss the stumps, she explained. We just missed the stumps a little bit too much tonight and gave them too many free hits early. Delhi never relinquished control after the opening stand, with Jemimah Rodrigues and Laura Wolvaardt calmly steering the chase through the middle overs. Though Wareham briefly revived Gujarats hopes with two wickets, Gardner conceded her side could not maintain that momentum for long enough. Georgia set the tone with her first over, taking those two crucial wickets, she said. But we just werent able to do that for long periods of time, which is obviously really disappointing. Earlier, Gujarats innings had been shaped by Mooneys resilience after early setbacks. Losing Sophie Devine and then slipping to 48/3 at the end of the powerplay put pressure firmly on the Giants, before the wicketkeeper-batter and Wareham stitched together a stabilising stand. Probably wasn't the most ideal start. I think Mooney did a fantastic job of kind of rescuing the innings with Georgia, Ash reflected. Despite the defeat, Gardner struck a reflective, optimistic note about the campaign as a whole, highlighting the Giants growth and balance as a team. This is probably the most balanced Giants side that weve had, she said. We've unearthed some fantastic talent. Looking at someone like Anushka Sharma, she hasn't looked out of place. 22 years old, batting 3, and what's almost like international cricket. She's, I guess, looked at home. And then you look at someone like Rajeshwari, who's come into this side and she has so much experience. And I guess talking about the Indian players, I think they're the players that almost win you these competitions. And then in saying that, someone like Sophie Devine has been fantastic throughout the whole campaign as well, the GG skipper added. Theres so much things to be proud of. For this team, obviously, we had a pretty brutal start to the WPL. We didn't win many games, so to do back-to-back, making finals two years in a row, there's certainly plenty of positives to take out of it, but plenty of learnings as well going forward, Gardner added.

WPL 2026 Eliminator: DC Cruise Past GG By Seven Wickets To Enter Fourth Straight Final
Delhi Capitals Women: Delhi Capitals Women produced a dominant all-round performance to defeat Gujarat Giants Women by seven wickets, chasing down a competitive target with ease, courtesy of a clinical batting display led by Lizelle Lee and Jemimah Rodrigues, to enter the final of the tournament for the fourth consecutive time. Asked to respond to Gujarats 168/7, Delhi wasted little time asserting control. Openers Lee and Shafali Verma set the tone with an aggressive powerplay, racing to 75 runs in the first six overs. Lee was particularly severe on anything loose, peppering the boundary with authority, while Shafali played the perfect foil with brisk support. The opening stand of 89 runs was broken in the eighth over when Lee was trapped lbw by Georgia Wareham for a fluent 43 off 24 balls, an innings studded with eight fours and a six. Shafali followed soon after for 31 off 21, but the brief double blow did little to derail Delhis momentum. Skipper Jemimah Rodrigues took charge in trademark fashion, rotating the strike smartly before unfurling a range of strokes against the spinners. Laura Wolvaardt provided calm assurance at the other end, ensuring the chase never drifted off course. Rodrigues 41 off just 23 balls, laced with four boundaries and a six, effectively sealed the contest. When she was dismissed with the team at 160/3 in the 15th over, Delhi were already within touching distance. Wolvaardt remained unbeaten on 32 off 24 deliveries, while Marizanne Kapp finished the job with a quick cameo as Delhi reached 169/3 with 26 balls to spare. Earlier, Gujarat Giants posted 168/7 after coming under pressure from disciplined bowling and sharp fielding. Their innings was anchored by wicketkeeper-batter Beth Mooney, who carried her bat for a composed 62 off 51 balls. After a cautious start and early setbacks, including the loss of Sophie Devine and a damaging double strike that left Gujarat 48/3 at the end of the powerplay, Mooney held the innings together with patience and control. A vital 61-run partnership with Wareham in the middle overs revived Gujarats hopes, and late cameos from the Victorian and Kashvee Gautam, who struck a brisk 18 off 10 balls, pushed the total into competitive territory. Chinelle Henry was the pick of Delhis bowlers with three wickets, consistently breaking partnerships and preventing Gujarat from fully accelerating.

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.

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: GG Ride On Mooneys Unbeaten 62 To Survive DC Scare And Post 168/7
The West Indies: Delhi Capitals bowlers kept the hosts in check, while wicketkeeper-batter Beth Mooneys sluggish yet resilient knock and Gerogia Wareham and Kashvee Gautams efforts with the willow helped the Gujarat Giants get to a competitive total of 168/7 when the two sides squared off in the crucial and penultimate contest of the Womens Premier League 2026, the Eliminator, here at the BCA Stadium (Kotambi). Marizanne Kapp conceded six runs in the opening over as Sophie Devine edged a four over the slip cordon, with Gujarat moving to 6/0 after a cautious start. However, Chinelle Henry struck early for Delhi, removing Devine for six as she edged an outswinger to Lizelle Lee at slip, leaving Gujarat one down in the second over. No. 3 batter Anushka Sharma and Mooney then showed tremendous confidence against Henry and Kapp and scored 29 runs off the next three overs, but Nandni Sharmas double strike in the final over of the powerplay led to Anushka and skipper Ashleigh Gardners exit off consecutive deliveries as GG reached 48/3 in the first six overs. DC bowlers kept the opposition batters in check and picked up wickets at regular intervals. While Mooney tried to score runs from one end, she kept losing partners on the other. She found an able pair in Georgia Wareham as the duo stitched a slow but valuable 61-run stand in the middle-overs before Henry broke the partnership. The West Indies all-rounder took wickets on the second and fourth balls of the 17th over, dismissing Wareham, as Bharti Fulmali headed back to the pavilion. GG gained some relief during the death overs because the DC bowlers struggled significantly. Mooneys undefeated 62 off 51 balls, which she played throughout the entire innings, coupled with Kashvee Gautams quick 18 off 10 balls, helped the home team reach a total of 168/7 in 20 overs. DC bowlers kept the opposition batters in check and picked up wickets at regular intervals. While Mooney tried to score runs from one end, she kept losing partners on the other. She found an able pair in Georgia Wareham as the duo stitched a slow but valuable 61-run stand in the middle-overs before Henry broke the partnership.

Danny Wyatt Hodge: New Zealand and Gujarat Giants all-rounder Sophie Devine believes that experience alone does not define a players value in a team, stressing instead the importance of clarity and consistency of role in building confidence Devine said this clarity has helped her perform in the ongoing Womens Premier League (WPL), where she has been able to understand her role and contribute effectively to the side. Asked how she views her role in the team, Devine highlighted the advantage of being a versatile cricketer. Depends on the day. That's a great thing about having different skills, as you get two cracks at it during a game. Its obviously been a great tournament for us so far, but the job's certainly not done yet, the all-rounder told broadcasters ahead of the Eliminator clash between Delhi Capitals and GG on Tuesday. Reflecting on what has been one of her most consistent seasons in recent years, Devine said she does not necessarily have a favourite role, but values the stability she has found this season. Yeah, I don't know, I guess it's funny to look back at the start of my career, and I was a bowler to start, so it's always nice to, I guess, to go back to my roots and yeah to do a real job. I think I said previously that I think any player it doesn't matter how experienced you are but when you get consistency and clarity of role you grow confidence in that and I think that's just been an example of this probably this tournament is knowing exactly where I fit in this group and being able to own that position and really just try and do a job for the group. Which probably adds to the importance of your season because you haven't had consistency in your role because you've sort of gone from middle order to opening, depending on if Danny Wyatt Hodge was in the team or not, she said. The former New Zealand skipper also spoke about the challenges of frequently switching batting positions and how experience has helped her manage those transitions. Yeah it is and I certainly think if it was 10 years ago I think I probably would have struggled with it a lot more but I guess I've hit the luxury is maybe not the right word but of having batted 1-11 being able to make that shift really quickly and I think with my game my game plan is it doesn't actually change too much. Its probably more about what happens in the out-of-field, do you know what I mean? It's two fielders out or it's four fielders out, so for me, not much changes in that sense, and I think that's a real positive is that I don't have to change too much, it's probably more so how the opposition goes about bowling to me, she stated. The former New Zealand skipper also spoke about the challenges of frequently switching batting positions and how experience has helped her manage those transitions. Also Read: Live Cricket Score You look at successful teams not just here but around the world the ones that have got depth and have trust and faith that if you know the top four or five don't score runs your number six, seven, eight, nine, ten can also chip in with really valuable runs so having that confidence and freedom I think really has helped this group and I think as well we've probably adapted nicely to the conditions here in Baroda, Devine concluded.

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: 'This Is Just A New Beginning' - How Rajeshwari Gayakwad Silenced The Doubters
How Rajeshwari Gayakwad: On the eve of Gujarat Giants second appearance in a Women's Premier League (WPL) Eliminator at the BCA Stadium in Kotambi, Vadodara, Rajeshwari Gayakwad exudes a quiet confidence that belies the tumultuous journey that brought her to this juncture. At 34, left-arm spinner Gayakwad is having her best WPL season 10 wickets coming in seven games at an average of 14.50 and economy rate of 7.63. Nothing much is going on. All we have in mind is to play well at any cost and win tomorrow's match. Simply, that's it. I have that confidence in myself and in my team as well. This time, I feel we will play in the finals. We have the confidence to play in the finals, but winning tomorrow's match is very important for us. All we have in our mind is to play well and win tomorrow's match. We will surely play in the finals for the first time, which is going to be a very happy moment. But we will play with confidence tomorrow, Gayakwad told IANS in an exclusive conversation on Monday. For Gujarat Giants, reaching the final for the first time would be historic. But for Rajeshwari, it would be validation of the hard work done in the last 12 months. She didnt perform well in the last three seasons for her previous team UP Warriorz, but this season shes leading the spin bowling attack for GG. With her wide of the crease deliveries and subtle changes in flight and loop trapping batters on spin-friendly pitches in Vadodara. The secret behind her good showings, as per Rajeshwari, has been the improved fitness work, especially after undergoing a knee surgery in September 2024. I got a lot of break from cricket. Since I was in rehab, I was trying to be mentally and physically fit. I have worked a lot on myself. I have given myself a lot of time. I have tried to work on my weaknesses. I have been wanting to play WPL for a year and this is a big break for a player. I have learnt a lot from this break and got time to implement it. I have always tried to give my best and do well whenever I get a chance to bowl. No matter what happens, I always try to do my best to make the team win, she explained. The injury layoff, while devastating at that time, proved to be an unexpected blessing. Away from the intensity of competition, Rajeshwari had the luxury of time to rebuild her fitness, reassess her game, and work on technical refinements that would have been difficult to implement mid-season. When I just came back from rehab, I didn't get a chance to play that many matches last year. I have always learnt a lot of things from the outside whenever I didn't get to play. If a chance to play arrived, I have always tried to implement those things on the field. The physical transformation is evident - fitter and leaner than in previous seasons, Rajeshwari has retained the guile that has always been her hallmark. I did become mentally stronger by learning a lot of things from the outside and I have also taken care of my fitness. You must be thinking that I look fit - I have worked hard on myself. It's my main focus to always do well when on the field and whoever thinks that my time in cricket is over, I have to show them by doing well and saying that 'Yes, I am doing great and I have to play a lot more cricket ahead, she said. For Rajeshwari, the decision to undergo surgery came with the knowledge that the path back would be arduous, and there were no guarantees of returning to her previous best self, including being back in the Indian team. When the surgery was about to happen, I knew that it was not going to be easy for me. I had realized a lot of things like it is going to take time for me to get out of this. At that time, I was mentally very down. When you do know that things are not going to be right in the coming times, it was a very big decision for me to get the surgery done. I knew that it was not going to be easy and will be a tough thing for me. Still, I agreed to get the surgery done. But I did not get a chance to join the team and I was mentally down. It's just that whenever I get a chance to play, I will do my best. That is why I did well in the domestic season as well I was the (third) highest wicket there (in Senior Womens T20 Trophy). What has happened is that age is something everyone talks about, but I don't think that age is a big deal for anyone. Rather than accepting the narrative that her time had passed, especially due to the emergence of young left-arm spinners N Sree Charani and Vaishnavi Sharma, apart from Radha Yadav and Shuchi Upadhaya being given chances, Rajeshwari chose to work hard and come back to playing the game she picked as a kid in Bijapur. As long as I am fit, I can play and I want to drive out that mentality from everyone's mind and make them realise that age is just a number. As long as I want to play, I will play. So, let's see - I have always tried to give my best. A lot of people thought that my cricket career was over, but that is not the case. This is just a new beginning for me and I would like to say that, she said. With WPL 2026 seeing her be back at her best in T20s, Rajeshwari is naturally keen to add more scalps to her international career worth five Tests, 64 ODIs and 58 T20Is. It means a lot to me. Everyone gets a chance after an injury, but I didn't get a chance and I do feel very sad about that. It's okay, as I will play whenever I get a chance. It has felt like everyone gets a chance after an injury, but when it came to me, I didn't get a chance. I should have got a chance and I feel regretful about the fact that I should have got at least one chance. One more thing - I didn't have a bad performance in ODIs, but I am not there in the ODI side. I am on 99 wickets and it does feel that I should have got a chance to play and complete 100 wickets. But I haven't got that chance and I feel I should have got that opportunity, she elaborated. Asked if she still harbors hopes of an India comeback, her response is very direct. If one doesn't look at the age, then I can get a chance. No one cares about the age and if you think about it, you won't get a chance. But if they think I can play, I will get a chance. Through the toughest periods - the surgery, rehabilitation, and being out of action, Rajeshwaris family constantly stayed by her side. There was no one except my family. They have supported me a lot. No one else knew what I was going through. When you do well, people ask about you. But when you need someone, no one supports you and I have noticed this. At that time, no one supported me except my family. Even now, I play for my family because they do think that I can still play cricket. I am able to play now because of my family and their support. Her younger sister, Rameshwari, also a cricketer and played for Karnataka, has become Rajeshwaris most trusted technical advisor and mental support. She plays a very big role in my life. She never thinks about herself when it comes to me. I always consider her more of a mentor than a sister. She is younger than me, but she is more mature than me. Whenever we go home, as of now, I don't have a personal coach for a long time. My sister is everything to me because she understands and tells me everything. We started playing cricket together. She knows what I do wrong and what I do right. We tell and listen to each other about what improvement we can bring to our respective games. She tells me what I am doing wrong or what I used to do right before. She understands everything about bowling and tries to tell me about it and she supports me a lot. The support is unconditional, irrespective of performance or results. She is always happy. My family always supports me - even if I don't get a wicket or pick four-five scalps, they are happy. They just want to see me play well. My family supports me a lot and I can say that I am still playing because of them, she said. This WPL season has seen Gayakwad bowl in contrasting conditions, from the flatter surfaces in Navi Mumbai to the more helpful tracks at Vadodara. Though she didnt get much bowling time in the first half of the competition, the second half has been a productive one for her. The pitches here aid the spinners, while flat pitches were there. But I didn't get many chances to bowl in Navi Mumbai. It was a little challenging for the bowlers there. But the wickets here are slow and the bowlers are getting help. Both the wickets were different, but it is fun to play. Her pre-game preparation, however, eschews the modern trend of elaborate routines like data and analytics. No, nothing like that. I have been playing for so many years. I don't have any routine of that kind. I believe in what is going to happen, will happen. Nothing is the same every day and I believe more in that. The day we do well, the day will be good. If we don't do well, we can't do anything. There are ups and downs in the lives of the players and that's it. Her pre-game preparation, however, eschews the modern trend of elaborate routines like data and analytics. No, nothing like that. I have been playing for so many years. I don't have any routine of that kind. I believe in what is going to happen, will happen.

WPL 2026: Have Learnt A Lot From Grace Harris And Nadine De Klerk, Says Gautami Naik
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) batting all-rounder Gautami Naik says she has drawn valuable lessons from overseas teammates Grace Harris and Nadine de Klerk as the franchise prepares for Thursday's Women's Premier League (WPL) final. Gautami made history earlier this season by becoming the first uncapped Indian player to score a fifty in the WPL by striking 73 off 55 balls in a crucial match against Gujarat Giants a knock where she curbed her usual aggressive instincts to give her side a memorable win. I can say I have learnt a lot from Grace Harris and Nadine de Klerk. I have bonded well with all of them. We are enjoying it together. I have learnt from Grace Harris that she keeps the game very simple. Her game plan is very simple - what will I play if I come to this area? Her shots, her application for the game is also very simple. She plays on the field with a lot of enjoyment. It doesn't feel like there is any pressure. She enjoys the game. I have learnt from Nadine about her never give up attitude. Nadine has done very well as a batter, bowler and fielder in all three departments, Gautami told IANS in a select virtual interaction organised by the franchise on Monday. Nadines ability to deliver in critical situations with both bat and ball has particularly a huge impact on Gautami. She has executed herself well by taking the stand where the team needed it and she took the wickets when the team required. She played a good knock in the first match, when there were no hopes and got the match in our favour. I am getting this experience from these overseas players in India and I think it will be very useful in the future, she said. Gautamis maiden WPL fifty transformed her life overnight, in terms of her life beyond the cricket field and inspiring young players at the academy where she practices in Pune. Yes, they were very happy. It was a good knock for me. Everything changed at random. I can't say that no one recognized me. Everyone was calling at my home. My relatives were calling and my mother was crying after calling me. She was proud of me and said that I played well. Everyone in my academy is looking at me as an inspiration. They also feel that if this girl can go to there, then we can also work hard and scale greater heights. Everyone is happy and excited about the finals. They believe that we will do well in it, she recalled. Though Gautami has played only four games in WPL 2026, she has developed a structured pre-match routine centered on meditation and staying calm, something which has become integral to her preparation over the past year. My routine before the match is very simple. I go and do my priming session. I do my meditation. We are in our own zone before the match. Everyone is in their own zone. Someone listens to songs and then we are in our own zone. Now we are going to play the final, so we have to prepare for it. How will the wicket be? Who will be the opponent? How can we get ready? We also analyse what the other bowlers are planning. How will the situation be created? We apply all this in practice and do things as per that continuously and repeatedly. So do your basics and routine well. My routine before the match is very simple. I go and do my priming session. I do my meditation. We are in our own zone before the match. Everyone is in their own zone. Someone listens to songs and then we are in our own zone. Now we are going to play the final, so we have to prepare for it.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Delhi Capitals captain Jemimah Rodrigues has expressed confidence that her team has learned valuable lessons from their previous encounters with Gujarat Giants and is poised to come out stronger in the Womens Premier League (WPL) 2026 Eliminator on Tuesday. The winner will secure a spot in the final against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB). You never lose as long as you can learn. And I know we've gotten really close and tight with Gujarat. But I just believe in this team that we've learned a lot from them. And we are going to come out stronger, Rodrigues said in a video shared by WPL. The Delhi skipper also praised her teams collective performance, highlighting the critical role of her bowlers. I'm really happy, and more than anything, as a captain, I'm just proud of the way the team played. It's always the bowlers who make a captain look better on the field. A lot of credit goes to them because it's easy to set a field, but they have to come and execute. And they've done that really well. Rodrigues emphasised the teams depth in batting, noting the balance and maturity on display. Even with the bat, the kind of maturity, the kind of balance we have in our batting, I think we have a lot of depth. And we've seen even in the last game, the way Nikki (Prasad) and (Sneh) Rana, even till that number, we have batting. And we have a belief more than anything that we can take a game out from anywhere. Looking ahead, Rodrigues stressed the importance of staying focused on the present. And I think we're just going to keep things simple. Yeah, one game at a time. And try to focus on our strengths and executing our plans than thinking too far ahead of things.

WPL 2026: Kapp, Wolvaardt, Jemimah Take DC To Playoffs, Beat UPW By Five Wickets (Ld)
With Niki Prasad: Laura Wolvaardt top-scored with 47 while Jemimah Rodrigues hit an unbeaten 34 as Delhi Capitals beat UP Warriorz by five wickets to secure a playoffs berth in the 2026 Womens Premier League (WPL) at the BCA Stadium in Kotambi on Sunday. Veteran pace bowling all-rounder Marizanne Kapp claimed three wickets as DC produced a disciplined bowling display to restrict UPW to 122/8. UPWs innings never found momentum, with Shikha Pandeys late cameo of 23 off 13 balls the only spark in an otherwise lacklustre effort. Simran Shaikh threatened to produce finishing fireworks with a brisk 22 before being dismissed, as DC picked wickets at regular intervals. DC were relentless, with Kapp, Chinelle Henry and Sree Charani sharing seven wickets to choke the scoring rate and deny UPW any breathing space, as they couldnt stitch together meaningful stands, with their stop-start batting exposing them yet again in the competition. DCs chase of 123 was far from straightforward, wobbling late when they needed 22 runs off as many balls with wickets tumbling. But Jemimah held her nerve to guide her side home with an unbeaten 34 off 18 deliveries to seal a tense game in DCs favour. Laura, meanwhile, steadied DCs innings initially in a knock laced with seven boundaries. UPW, who managed only 122/8 in their innings, were undone by their lack of runs and sloppy catching. Despite flashes of resistance, they never had enough on the board to seriously challenge DC. DC will now face Gujarat Giants in the Eliminator, while UP Warriorz and defending champions Mumbai Indians bow out of the competition. Chinelle Henry struck with the very first ball of the innings by trapping UP Warriorz skipper Meg Lanning lbw for a duck. Deepti Sharma and Charli Knott hit six boundaries between themselves, before an accurate Marizanne struck in her second over by removing Charli Knott with a short ball that cramped her for room and was caught behind. Marizanne ended the power-play by foxing Deepti with a slower ball and have her caught at cover. UPWs misery didnt end there as Harleen Deol struggled to get going, and was trapped lbw by Charani, while Deandra Dottin was also dismissed via lbw by Marizanne on review. Simran Shaikh tried to counterattack, cutting Kapp for four and later pulling Minnu Mani for back-to-back boundaries. But UPWs slide continued when Minnu Manis yorker surprised Shipra Giri and was caught by cover, while Simrans resistance ended when Chinelle had her caught at mid-off. Asha Sobhana briefly lifted spirits with a slog-sweep six off Sneh Rana, but Charani removed her by having her hole out to long-on. Shikha Pandey provided late fireworks, cutting Chinelle for four and pulling and thumping Nandni Sharma for two boundaries to make 23 not out off 13 balls, as DC ensured they held the upper hand at the halfway stage. DCs chase began on a wobbly note as Lizelle Lee miscued a slower delivery to mid-off against Deandra Dottin. Laura found her rhythm quickly, driving and pulling with authority. She was dropped twice - by Sophie Ecclestone and Asha Sobhana, and made the most of her reprieves. Shafali too began to open up after overturning an lbw decision on review, cutting and sweeping to keep the runs flowing. By the ninth over, the partnership had blossomed, with Laura striking four elegant boundaries off Kranti Gaud in the ninth over to push DC forward. The second-wicket stand of 73 runs ended when Deepti Sharma lured Laura into a lofted drive and was brilliantly caught by long-on. Shafali, who had struggled for fluency, fell soon after for 29, cutting Shikha Pandey straight to cover. From there, nervous faces increased in DC camp - Marizanne Kapp lofted Sophie to mid-off for a duck while Chinelle Henry was caught and bowled by Deepti. Shafali too began to open up after overturning an lbw decision on review, cutting and sweeping to keep the runs flowing.

WPL 2026: Unchanged DC Elect To Bowl First Against UPW, Dottin Comes In
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: An unchanged Delhi Capitals have won the toss and elected to bowl first against UP Warriorz in a decisive WPL 2026 clash at the BCA Stadium in Kotambi on Sunday. The situation is simple for DC - a win takes them to 8 points and secures the final spot in the playoffs, where Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Gujarat Giants have already entered. But if DC lose, they are likely to be knocked out because defending champions Mumbai Indians have a better net run rate. After winning the toss, DC skipper Jemimah Rodrigues felt the pitch could play better in the second innings. I think the team's pretty motivated. As a captain, to be honest, it's an easy job to lead this team because they're making me feel a lot at home. But I think the energy, the intensity, and the way we play our cricket is going to stay the same and there's no more negotiable for that. To be honest, it's always there in the back of the mind but I think we play our best cricket when we keep things really simple, stuck to what's in our control, stuck to playing the best cricket we possibly can and I know on the day our team plays the best cricket, nobody can defeat us, she said. Jemimah also admitted that the leadership stint at DC has aided her growth as a human being in WPL 2026. I think over the last few weeks, I feel like I've grown a lot more than I've ever grown in the years. But I think firstly, credit goes to my team, to the coach JB (Jonathan Batty) and our entire support staff and the players because they've released a lot of load off me. At the same time, I think for me, every game has been such a big learning and I think that's going to help me so much more in my cricketing career here, she said. UPW captain Meg Lanning said they have made three changes to their playing eleven Shipra Giri, Deandra Dottin and Charli Knott come in place of Shweta Sehrawat, Amy Jones and Chloe Tryon. The other night we got off to a reasonable start. We just couldn't finish it off. So there's some positives there. So hopefully we can put together the full 20 tonight. A little bit of both. Obviously, we still want to win the game. Everybody's very competitive and we want to get a win to finish, but we will give a couple of people opportunities tonight as well just to see what they've got, bring a bit of fresh energy to the team and hopefully it gets us the result. Fingers crossed, that's the winning combination, she said. Playing XIs Everybody's very competitive and we want to get a win to finish, but we will give a couple of people opportunities tonight as well just to see what they've got, bring a bit of fresh energy to the team and hopefully it gets us the result.
