WPL: 'These Situations Are Learning Moments For Me,' Says Niki Prasad After DC's Narrow Loss To GG

Niki Prasad: Delhi Capitals star Niki Prasad has said that the three-run defeat against the Gujarat Giants will serve as a big learning lesson for her. The 20-year-old played a fearless knock of 47 off just 25 deliveries at the BCA stadium on Tuesday. Prasad, who walked at a time when the Delhi Capitals were reeling at 100 for 6 chasing a total of 174, said that she had the belief to close the match as she walked at the crease. When I went in, we were definitely in a very tricky situation, but in my mind it was clear that if I could stay there and keep the momentum going, we still had a chance. Once Sneh came in and she started getting boundaries straight away, it gave me a lot of confidence, and we both spoke about keeping that 12-runs-an-over momentum alive, she said. From the minute I walked in, I had that belief that we could cross the line. That one over from Sophie Devine, where we got a couple of boundaries, really lifted us, and from there our conversation was simple. We wanted to keep getting boundaries, keep the momentum going, and not let the pressure get to us, Prasad added. Despite Delhi missing the win by just three runs, Prasad feels that this match will serve well in her learning journey. It is disappointing that we couldnt cross the line today, especially when we were so close. But for me, this is a big learning. I will go back, train harder, and make sure that the next time I am in a similar situation, I am able to finish the game for the team, Prasad said. Speaking up about her approach against experienced bowlers, Prasad said, We realised quite early that the bowlers were going a little slower and a little shorter, so I wanted to make sure that whatever contact I made, whether it was in the air or along the ground, it went into the gaps. I used my feet, shuffled a bit, and tried to chip it over the fielders because once the ball hit the ground, it was racing away to the boundary. Prasad also hailed the support that she gets from her franchise, which reflects in her confidence. It gives me a lot of confidence knowing that such a big franchise has shown so much faith in me. Coming into the WPL, I was confident and just waiting for that one opportunity to go out and finish a game for the Delhi Capitals. Unfortunately, it didnt happen today, but I will make sure I am ready when the next chance comes.

WPL 2026: Rodrigues Praises 'special' Fightback From Sneha-Prasad After Delhi's Close Loss

Jemimah Rodrigues: Delhi Capitals captain Jemimah Rodrigues praised the composure and courage shown by Sneh Rana and Niki Prasad in a tense finish, admitting it was a tough pill to swallow after falling just three runs short of the target against Gujarat Giants at the Kotambi Stadium in Vadodara. Sophie Devine held her nerve in a dramatic final over to defend nine runs, sealing a thrilling three-run win for the Giants, completing a season double. A spirited seventh-wicket partnership of 70 runs between Rana (29 off 15) and Prasad (47 off 24) reignited hope, but Devines mastery at the death having earlier defended seven against the same opponents ensured Gujarat Giants closed out another nervy win. Firstly, the way Sneh Rana and Niki played, I have to give it to them. It was special. Such things happen, but it would have been nice had we finished on the right side of the finishing line, said Rodrigues after the match. Rodrigues said belief never faded in the Capitals camp as long as batters were at the crease, lauding Rana and Prasad for keeping the chase alive with their fearless approach. As long as we knew our batters were in, we had the hope, and we kept believing. They kept believing and kept us in the hunt. Niki played brilliantly. I think they were the ones who kept us going. We didnt win it today, but the way they played today was brilliant. Delhi's reply got off to a good start when Shafali Verma hit a boundary off the first ball and quickly reached 26 in 2.2 overs before Rajeshwari Gayakwad removed her in the first over. Laura Wolvaardt once again failed to accelerate, scoring 24 off 23 before Gayakwad brushed her off stump, while Lizelle Lee struggled with fluency and was caught for 11 off 20 balls. Jemimah Rodrigues managed 16 off 16 balls before being bowled by Devine, and the Capitals chase faltered further as Marizanne Kapp fell for a golden duck to Gardner. Chinelle Henry added only 9 off 11 balls, leaving Delhi in trouble. Reflecting on the defeat, the skipper felt Delhi paid the price for losing wickets in clusters and conceding extra runs at the death, despite a strong effort with the ball earlier in the innings.

WPL 2026: Sophie Devine's Magical Final Over Helps Gujarat Pip Delhi By Three Runs

Sophie Devine: Sophie Devine held her nerve in a dramatic final over to defend nine runs, sealing a thrilling three-run win for Gujarat Giants over Delhi Capitals and completing a season double against them in the 17th match of the Women's Premier League (WPL) 2026 at the Kotambi Stadium in Vadodara on Tuesday. Under severe pressure, Devine once again operated with precision under pressure, using the ball effectively and leading the Giants to second place on the points table with eight points. After posting 174/9, the Gujarat team was under immense pressure as the Delhi team prepared to enter the last over of the match with nine runs to win with Sneh Rana and Niki Prasad batting together. Devine held Delhi back for the first three balls in a very tight manner, allowing only 4 runs. He finished the over well, taking the crucial wicket of Sneh Rana with an excellent delivery. After that, Minnu Mani took a single for the fifth ball, leaving Prasad to face the sixth, requiring four runs for victory. Prasad attempted a high-energy swing to hit it out of the park, only to find Ashleigh Gardner out in the outer as the Giants celebrated their victory, as the Capitals fell agonisingly short of crossing the line. Before that, the Delhi Capitals had the choice to fill in. They chose to bowl, middling the Gujarat Giants' total to 174 for 9 with an excellent overall effort from Beth Mooney in what was overall a really composed innings of 58 from 46 balls. Anushka Sharma contributed 39 off 25 balls during the middle overs with some lovely, elegant-looking shots, as Tanuja Kanwar's contributions of an unbeaten 21 off just 11 balls late in the innings helped the Giants to compile a competitive total. N. Shree Charani, who finished with career-best WPL figures of 4 for 31, led Delhi's bowlers with a fierce spell. Minnu Mani took 1 for 23 in her three overs, Chinelle Henry took 2 for 38, and Nandani Sharma was economical with 1 for 26. Delhi's reply got off to a good start when Shafali Verma hit a boundary off the first ball and quickly reached 26 in 2.2 overs before Rajeshwari Gayakwad removed her in the first over. Laura Wolvaardt once again failed to accelerate, scoring 24 off 23 before Gayakwad brushed her off stump, while Lizelle Lee struggled with fluency and was caught for 11 off 20 balls. Jemimah Rodrigues managed 16 off 16 balls before being bowled by Devine, and the Capitals chase faltered further as Marizanne Kapp fell for a golden duck to Gardner.

WPL 2026: Beth Mooney's Fifty And Tanuja Kanwar's Late Blitz Lift Gujarat Giants To 174/9 Against DC

Beth Mooney: Beth Mooneys composed half-century and N. Shree Charanis timely strikes shaped an eventful first innings as Gujarat Giants posted a competitive 174 for 9 against Delhi Capitals in the 17th match of the Women's Premier League (WPL) 2026, at the Kotambi Stadium in Vadodara on Tuesday. Batting first for the first time, the Giants took advantage of Mooney's composure at the top of the order until the last set of the innings, when Tanuja Kanwar came out to bat. The opening pair for Gujarat was Sophie Devine and Mooney, but Devine only faced the third over before getting out to Marizanne Kapp for 13 runs. Anushka Sharma, batting at No. 3, struck a couple of boundaries within the first 20 balls of the game, showing early aggression. Mooney hit out a few singles to get used to the pitch. By the end of the Power-play, the Giants had built themselves solidly to 53 runs for the loss of one wicket. Anushka Sharma kept the Giants scoring towards the middle of the game, had one chance in the eighth over on 39 runs, and had it taken from her almost immediately as Shree Charani took her wicket in the very next delivery, swinging the momentum back to Delhi. After that, the Giants had another success when captain Ashleigh Gardner hit the ball towards deep mid-wicket only to get out for 2. Mooney remained calm through everything that happened and reached her fifty runs during her innings with just 39 deliveries, holding the entire innings together while losing wickets all around her. Charani claimed her second wicket when she bowled Georgia Wareham out for 11 in the 15th over. Delhi increased the pressure on the Giants in the next over when Chinelle Henry dismissed Bharti Fulmali for 3, leaving the Giants in a precarious position. And when she finished her innings at 58 from 46 balls in the 17th over, the Giants' chances for a strong finish seemed bleak. The Giants' poor finish continued as Delhi shut them down during the final overs of the match. Just when Gujarat appeared to be limping to the end of their innings, Tanuja Kanwar added an important contribution as a No. 9 batter, scoring 21 runs off 11 balls just before the end of the innings. Kanwar's effort raised the Giants' total to 174 runs for 9 wickets from 20 overs, giving the Delhi Capitals a competitive target despite Delhi not being at their best during the final phase of the innings.

MI Starting To Find Rhythm Is A Danger Sign For Others: Katey Martin

As Mumbai Indians: As Mumbai Indians are still alive to stay in contention for a place in the playoffs in the WPL 2026 after a win over table-toppers Royal Challengers Bengaluru, former India skipper Mithali Raj and ex-New Zealand player Katey Martin shared their thoughts on MI's crucial win, saying the defending champions getting the rhythm back is a danger sign for other teams. Mumbai Indians held off a stunning late assault from Richa Ghosh to beat RCB by 15 runs in a thrilling clash at the BCA Stadium on Monday. The win put the defending champions back on track as they moved up to second spot on the points table. It was a must-win game for the Mumbai Indians, and they really needed their match-winners to step up. They also required the opening pair to give them a solid start. Yes, they lost the first wicket early, but I think it was important for Hayley Matthews to get some runs. She also contributed with the ball, picking up three wickets. That all-round contribution was exactly what was required from a player like her. And of course, we cannot forget the hundred from Nat Sciver-Brunt, the first century of the Womens Premier League. It has come at just the right time for the Mumbai Indians, Mithali said on JioStar. When RCB collapsed to 35/5 in the powerplay in their chase of 200, Richa launched a breathtaking counter-attack, smashing 90 off 50 balls with 10 fours and six sixes to nearly pull off an improbable victory, but the early damage proved to be too severe despite her late heroics. On Richa's lone valiant effort for RCB in the run-chase, Mithali added, There was some sort of onslaught later on from Richa Ghosh. At a time when she desperately needed a partnership and someone to support her, she had none. So she took it upon herself to score that flurry of boundaries and hit those sixes, particularly in the last over. Nobody thought she would get the match that close because she could not afford a dot ball or even a single at that stage, as she did not have a batter at the other end capable of going for the big shots. If she had someone like Nadine de Klerk with her, they might have pulled off this big chase. Batting first, Nat Sciver-Brunt struck the first century in WPLs history to propel MI to a formidable 199/4. Meanwhile, Katey maintained that the five-day break did the Mumbai Indians a world of good. Mumbai Indians are a confidence-driven team. They rely on their big players to step up in key moments, and they have done exactly that. Tournament cricket is always about momentum, and if you gain momentum near the end, you become very difficult to stop. Heading into their last game against the Gujarat Giants, they have ticked a number of boxes, but a lot also depends on what happens in the Delhi Capitals-Gujarat Giants game as well. I would like their death bowling to be a little better, but given the position they were in, they probably felt comfortable enough to close out the game. Still, these are danger signs for other teams. When you see a Mumbai side packed with match-winners starting to find their rhythm, it suggests that the break and a few days off may have helped them reset for these final two games.

She started her innings at a strike rate of around a hundred and then accelerated from about the 11-over mark onwards. That is mature, intelligent batting.

Return To Indian T20I Team Is What I Had Been Waiting For, Says GGs Bharti Fulmali

Sant Gajanan Cricket Academy: Seven years is a long time in cricket. For Bharti Fulmali, it felt even longer. The big-hitting middle-order batter from Amravati had made her India T20I debut against England in Guwahati in 2019. She impressed early by charging down the pitch to hit Laura Marsh for a boundary on her third ball in international cricket, but managed only 18 and 5 in two outings before being left out. As the years rolled by, Bharti, who holds a job with the Income Tax Department, resigned herself to the fact that her international career might be over before it had truly begun. But on January 17, when the Gujarat Giants landed in Vadodara after wrapping up their Navi Mumbai leg of WPL 2026, the BCCI named Bharti in Indias squad for the T20I series in Australia in February, a development which took her by surprise. We just boarded the bus after landing in Vadodara, and that's when my teammates came and shouted behind me, 'Congratulations,' and then I got to know that this happened. I actually didn't even know before that such a team was to be announced or that I had been selected. I am feeling very good because this has come after a very long period of seven years. This is what I had been waiting for and has happened now. So, I am very grateful and this feels stupendous, Bharti recalled in an exclusive conversation with IANS, ahead of the franchise facing Delhi Capitals in a decisive clash on Tuesday. The current version of Bharti, who will board the plane to Australia, is a vastly different player from the one who played briefly for India in 2019. Her national comeback has arrived on the back of exceptional performances in the ongoing WPL, where she has scored 111 runs in six innings at a blistering strike rate of 163.23 for GG. Last season was equally impressive 133 runs in four innings at 172.72 a significant leap from her 2024 season's numbers of 64 runs at a strike-rate of 120.75. India, after unsuccessful trials with Kiran Navgire and Sajeevan Sajana, will bank on Bhartis WPL form so that she can join Richa Ghosh as a reliable finisher ahead of this years T20 World Cup in England. There are a lot of changes now from what I played in 2019 to now. The role that the team has given me as a finisher; I try to contribute in that and how to finish the game and help my team to get into a good position. So, this is my priority, added Bharti. This evolution didn't happen by accident. Bharti made a conscious decision to reinvent herself after recognising that the pathway back to international cricket required someone who has serious lower-order batting muscle. I also wanted to bat as a batter in the top order. But as I saw the lot of changes happening in cricket, I started to think on top of that like what is the need? Like, if I want to play internationally, the WPL, and be at a higher level, then what is the need there? So, there mostly I saw middle-order and lower-order batters are needed. There, I saw the state team struggling a little. So, I decided from there that if I want to play, then this place will be perfect for me. I will have to work a little hard and there will be a little different skills, but I was okay to do all of that. I worked on that because you need power hitting there for the finisher because you will only get 5 or 10 balls, you have to perform in that margin only and I started training in that way. It happened just 4-5 years ago, when I started to apply those changes to my role in the Vidarbha team, elaborated Bharti. Its no surprise that Bharti credits the WPL for her career resurgence. Unsold in the first WPL auction, she joined GG in 2024 as Harleen Deols injury replacement a move that proved pivotal. My cricket has transformed a lot after WPL came into the picture. It has played a very big role, and especially Gujarat Giants have a big role in it because they have given me an opportunity to play on this platform. They showed that confidence and gave me chances to play, and then I put out great performances. So, GG and WPL have a very big role in upping my game for the next level, she said. Working with GG head coach Michael Klinger and batting coach Dan Marsh has proved crucial to her development as a power-hitter. When I came here in the first year, I discussed with them about what I can and can't do. So, I went back to the ground level and practiced mostly hard hitting. I used to practice on center wickets and open grounds. I did a lot of match simulations because I have put a lot of emphasis on myself to get the team out of tough situations. Klinger also told me to practice against a tennis ball. It's like if you clear the boundary while batting against a tennis ball, then you will be able to play in the same way against the leather ball in a match. So, I practiced against that and did those drills, and I am getting the fruitful results now, added Bharti. Her performances this season, after GG used her RTM card to get her for Rs 70 lakh, have included knocks that showcased her finishing abilities 36 not out and 39 against Mumbai Indians and Royal Challengers Bengaluru are evidence of it. In last years season, Bharti left everyone stunned by smashing her maiden WPL fifty, off just 22 balls, to give MI an almighty scare. Her approach as a finisher and being unflustered comes from her admiration for the legendary MS Dhoni. I have definitely imbibed a lot of qualities of him in myself because my natural nature is very calm. When I used to watch Dhoni sir play on TV, he used to come in the same situation as a finisher, just like how I am doing right now. He has played a very good role there and won us the ODI World Cup as a finisher by scoring a six. So, he inspires me a lot. I try to follow him a little bit and that's where all of this has come from, said Bharti. That calmness under pressure by observing Dhoni has become Bhartis trademark too. That is handled well because I always focus on my process. I have put myself in these situations, even in practice sessions. Even when I play for the state, I play under the same pressure. Obviously, there is no crowd there. But if you think so much about the crowd and all these things, then you will not be able to play well. So, when you play, all these things get out of your mind. Your focus is on the ball and what you have to do is on you. So, thinking all these things helps things become a little easier when your focus is on that one thing - to play well. Bhartis support system starts at home in Amravati, where her father first introduced her to cricket. His pride in her achievements remains a driving force for her. I started playing cricket because of him in my childhood. So, he is very happy and he feels very proud that our daughter is playing and performing at this big level. He feels really good on seeing me in action, she said. Bharti stays connected to her roots in Amravati through regular talks with childhood coach Sandeep Gawande at Sant Gajanan Cricket Academy, while training at Nagpur Cricket Academy when away from home. Whenever I go to Amravati, I still go to that ground and practice. We have a very good bond. We talk to each other daily. If I have any doubts, we still talk on the phone. Their guidance is very important. He, my father and my family are the main pillars for me. There's even a nickname that has stuck with Bharti by her friends from Amravati Lady Gayle. Its a moniker which reflects in the big-hitting prowess she has become known for now. They still like calling me this a lot. Whenever I go to Amravati, they give me the centre wicket for practice. Before that, they used to tell me that we will bowl and you hit the ball for six. They would say, 'bas, tu maar (You just hit the ball).' They have encouraged me a lot. They have a lot of love for me and this is a way of expressing that. They have supported me a lot. Seven years away from the national team setup taught Fulmali invaluable lessons about discipline and perseverance. I have realised discipline is very important. I have worked with a lot of patience and discipline in the seven years I was away from the Indian team set-up. Your diet is very important, as are workouts on a regular basis. It is very important to practise all these things daily. I have maintained it and that's what is helping me, she said.

WPL 2026: 'Support From Seniors Gives Me Confidence,' Says Purple Cap Holder DC Pacer Nandni

Delhi Capitals: Delhi Capitals fast-bowler Nandni Sharma has credited the teams calm and supportive environment for helping her settle into her maiden Womens Premier League (WPL) season, revealing how encouragement from senior teammates has played a key role in easing her nerves and boosting her confidence. Speaking in a video shared by the WPL on social media, Nandni opened up about her pre-match nerves, her small superstitions, and the reassurance she receives from teammates, which she believes has helped her focus on enjoying the game rather than feeling the pressure of her debut season. Yes, I have a superstition. I wore a kukli during my warm-up. But I dont wear it in the match. I wont tell you why, she said. The young pacer admitted that nervousness is a constant companion before every match but said the teams atmosphere ensures she never feels alone. I get nervous before every match. But my teammates cheer me up and support me a lot. They try to calm me down, and that helps me a lot. Our team atmosphere is very good. We are very positive and calm. We support each other a lot, and I enjoy it a lot, she said. Nandni highlighted how experienced players like Marizanne Kapp regularly guide her on match conditions, particularly reading the pitch and field placements. They always tell me about the pitch in every match. They tell me where to keep the ball because they know a lot about the pitch, and I get a lot of help from them. They tell me touch wood in every match. They help me a lot. I feel like I have a very bright future ahead of me, she added. The right-arm pacer also named several teammates who have helped her feel comfortable and confident throughout the season, ensuring she never feels the pressure of being a first-timer. I have a lot of confidence in the team. Whenever I'm nervous, I talk to them. Theyre very chill: Shivali, Jamie, Tanya, Meenu, and Kapi. They all support me a lot. They never let me feel that its my first season, she said. South Africa's all-rounder Kapp praised Nandni's bowling and also revealed a crucial piece of advice that she gave to the young talent. There's already so much to like about bowling. And in the women's game, I feel like those days are gone where you are just a bowler. Nowadays, if they have to choose between two bowlers who bowl similarly or have good stats, they're probably going to pick the one that's good in the field and that can hold the bat, Kapp said. I have a lot of confidence in the team. Whenever I'm nervous, I talk to them. Theyre very chill: Shivali, Jamie, Tanya, Meenu, and Kapi. They all support me a lot.

WPL 2026: We Executed Our Plans Really Well On This Surface, Says DCs Minnu Mani

Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Delhi Capitals off-spin bowling all-rounder Minnu Mani lauded her sides disciplined bowling effort after their comprehensive seven-wicket win over Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the 2026 WPL, saying the team stuck to its plans on a slow surface at the BCA Stadium. Electing to field first, DCs bowlers made full use of the conditions to dismiss RCB for 109. Nandni Sharma spearheaded the attack with figures of 3-26, including two wickets in the final over and retained the Purple Cap with 13 scalps in the tournament. Marizanne Kapp (2-17), Chinelle Henry (2-22) and Minnu Mani (2-18) chipped in with disciplined spells to keep RCB in check. Chasing 110, DC overcame early losses before skipper Jemimah Rodrigues and Laura Wolvaardt steadied the innings through a 52-run stand. Laura remained unbeaten on 42, while Jemimah contributed 24, as DC completed the chase with seven wickets in hand. We were very clear with our plans going into the game because we knew the wicket here would be slow and low. As a bowling unit, we focused on hitting the right lengths and not trying to do too much. Everyone stuck to their roles, and the way we executed our plans collectively made a big difference, said Minnu in a release by the franchise at the conclusion of the game. She threw further light on how DC kept things tight with the ball. On pitches like this, patience becomes very important. You cannot expect wickets straight away, but if you keep things tight and force batters to take risks, chances will come. As spinners, our job was to control the middle overs, mix up pace and make it difficult to score freely, and I think we did that really well here. Laura remained unbeaten on 42, while Jemimah contributed 24, as DC completed the chase with seven wickets in hand.

Winning back-to-back matches definitely gives you confidence, but more importantly, it shows that we are learning as a group. Even when we were under pressure in different phases of the game, we stayed calm and trusted our process. That is something we want to carry forward, concluded Minnu. Article Source: IANS

WPL 2026: 'Uncertainty In Points Table Keeps Tournament Alive', Says Veda

Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Former India batter Veda Krishnamurthy said she relishes the unpredictability of the points table in 2026 Womens Premier League (WPL), pointing out that the uncertainty over who would finish at which spot has kept players and fans equally engrossed. Barring the already qualified Royal Challengers Bengaluru, the rest of the four teams Mumbai Indians, Delhi Capitals, UP Warriorz and Gujarat Giants are still in the hunt for sealing two remaining spots. DC beating RCB to be at second position on the points table on Saturday has kept the playoffs race wide open. This was a very important victory for Delhi Capitals against RCB, because their next game is against Gujarat Giants. These two points give them an edge going into that match. Without this win, things could have been very different for Jemimah Rodrigues & team. I really like that there is so much uncertainty in the points table. It keeps everyone on edge. We dont know what will happen or who will qualify. That always keeps the tournament alive, said Veda on JioStar. The turning point of the match came when off-spinner Minnu Mani dismissed RCB captain Smriti Mandhana, thus shifting momentum decisively in DCs favour. Veda analyzed how the strategic bowling change proved instrumental in triggering a batting meltdown for RCB. Yet another off-spinner got the better of Smriti Mandhana, but in a very unusual way. Her wicket shifted the momentum towards Delhi Capitals because Smriti was holding things together for RCB until she got out. She wasnt scoring as quickly as youd want, but she was looking good. You know she can take the game away and score big runs. Delhi Capitals will be very happy they made the change and brought in Minnu Mani, who bowled beautifully to take those two wickets in the middle overs, she added. It was the performance of uncapped pacer Nandni Sharma, who took 3-26 and got a call-up to India A squad for the Rising Star Womens Asia Cup, that particularly caught Vedas attention. The former right-handed batter expressed strong belief in the young pacers potential to represent the country at the highest level. You know she can take the game away and score big runs. Delhi Capitals will be very happy they made the change and brought in Minnu Mani, who bowled beautifully to take those two wickets in the middle overs, she added. Also Read: Live Cricket Score With Marizanne Kapp there, she is learning, and even after the game she was spending time with Kapp, which shows she is eager to improve. It is really good to see an uncapped pace bowler doing so well. She surely has a lot of cricket left.

A Record Missing for Nearly 200 Years, Now Finally Erased

Recent news from neighbouring country Pakistan was that their first class side Pakistan Television (PTV) beat Sui Northern in the 2024-25 President's Trophy Grade-I match and broke a 232-year old record in this win. The unique achievement is that they successfully defended the lowest total (40) in first-class cricket. In a match played at the National Stadium in Karachi, facing a target of 40 runs to win, Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Limited (SNGPL) were bundled out for 37 in 19.4 overs, on the third day of the fourth round of Presidents Trophy Grade-I and lost by 2 runs. Previous record: Oldfield defended 41 against MCC (Marylebone Cricket Club) to win by six runs in August 1794 at the Lords Old Ground. Match details; Sui Northern (led by Pakistan Test captain Shan Masood) made 238 in their first innings, in reply to Pakistan TV score of 166 to earn a 72-run lead. Pakistan TV then scored only 111 in the second innings and Sui Northern faced a target of only 40 runs to record an easy win. The five-time President's Trophy champions, Sui Northern however struggled against Ali Usman (6-9) and Amad Butt (4-28) on a deteriorating pitch who bowled 9.4 and 10 overs respectively, on the trot. Ali recorded his career best performance and had a match haul of 10-75. Shan Masood who had scored a record 177 ball 200, a few days back, was dismissed for a duck.. Now we return to the previous record where Oldfield defended 41 against MCC and won by six runs in 1794. Although this record was created more than 200 years ago, if you glance through the cricket record books and Almanacs of just a few years back, surprisingly you will not find mention of this record. For decades, reference works listed Eastern Province vs Border 1946-47 (target 42, won by 7 runs) as the record holder in this regard. Near at the end of the last century, the ICC relooked at all the early matches and many of them were accorded first class matches including this 1794 match. So the record was awarded to Oldfield about 200 years later in other words the record was held by a match which took place in 1794 but the feat was recognised fairly recently. Lowest FC targets defended Target Score Winner Loser Venue,Season 40 37 PTV SNGPL Karachi,2025/26 41 34 Oldfield MCC Lords (Old) ,1794 42 34 Eastern Province Border East London,1946/47 44 39 England Kent and Sussex Lords,1856 49 32 Kent Sussex Hawkhurst,1825 Do you know what is the lowest first class target defended, in India? In a Ranji Trophy 2022/23 match in Jamtha, Nagpur, Vidarbha had successfully defended 73 against Gujarat and this record still exists. They had rewritten the record for first-class cricket on Indian soil, by improving the 1948/49 feat, Delhi facing a target of only 78 against Bihar at the Keenan Stadium in Jamshedpur, were 38-2 at one stage but then collapsed to 48 all out. The architects of this collapse were Shute Banerjee (6-22) and Potla Bose (4-25). Also Read: Live Cricket Score Chasing 73 at the Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium, Gujarat almost repeated the same collapse story. At one time, they were at 26-2 with no real threat of a defeat. Then the last eight wickets fell for 28, in 20.2 overs and this time the collapse was caused by left-arm spinners Aditya Sarwate (6-17) and Harsh Dubey (3-11). They recorded match figures of 11-71 and 5-38 respectively and Sarwate was named the Player of the Match. Gujarat were out for 54, which included 10 extras.
