Delhi Capitals secured a seven-wicket victory over Mumbai Indians in the Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2026 match at the Kotambi Stadium in Vadodara. Skipper Jemimah Rodrigues’ unbeaten 51, supported by Lizelle Lee’s 46, led Delhi to chase down a target of 155 with six balls to spare. Rodrigues showcased leadership and strategic play to ensure a smooth win for her team.
In the bowling department, Delhi’s Marizanne Kapp’s exceptional performance, backed by Nandani Sharma, restricted Mumbai to 154/5. Despite a strong partnership between Nat Sciver-Brunt and Harmanpreet Kaur, Mumbai struggled early on. Sciver-Brunt’s unbeaten 65 and Kaur’s 41 were the highlights of Mumbai’s innings.
On the batting front, Delhi’s opening pair, Shafali Verma and Lizelle Lee, set a solid foundation. However, it was Rodrigues who shone with her smart play and effective running between the wickets, guiding Delhi to victory. Mumbai’s Vaishnavi Sharma impressed with her bowling, but Nicola Carey’s absence raised concerns for the team.
In a thrilling match, Delhi Capitals outperformed Mumbai Indians, showcasing a blend of skill and strategy to emerge victorious in the Women’s Premier League encounter.
