Amol Muzumdar belives WPL is great supply chain for Indian women's cricket

Terming the Women's Premier League (WPL) a "great supply chain" for the national team, India head coach Amol Muzumdar on Thursday said his side is a frontrunner to win the ongoing T20 World Cup in the United Arab Emirates. India begin their campaign with a match against New Zealand here on Friday. "I think WPL has been a very successful tournament so far in the last couple of editions. You have seen what response WPL has had. Obviously the stats have helped and we have dig into a lot of statistics and we have seen the results," Muzumdar said in the pre-match press conference. "Some of the players that have come into the Indian squad here at the World Cup, I think are products of WPL as well. "Of course, not undermining the first-class cricket as well back home, but WPL has given us a strong base to find players," he added. The coach said he has a "good headache" of having a strong bunch of players. "That's actually a good headache to have. We do have a lot of talent in the team,

Moment of my life: RCB ace Shreyanka describes meeting idol Virat Kohli

She was the cynosure of all eyes on Sunday having played a massive role in RCB's WPL triumph but Tuesday night gave 'Purple Cap' winner Shreyanka Patil a chance to enjoy a rare 'Fan Girl' moment with none other than Virat Kohli. The 21-year-old off-spinner, who had been a revelation in both eliminator and final with her match-winning performances at the death, couldn't stop gushing on social media when she realised that her childhood idol actually knew her name. "Started watching cricket cos of him. Grew up dreaming to be like him. And last night, had the moment of my life," she wrote on 'X', posting her picture alongside Kohli from the RCB 'Unbox' event. "Virat said, 'Hi Shreyanka, well bowled.' He actually knows my name," the surreal feeling was yet to sink and it was understandable from her post. Shreyanka was picked up by RCB during inaugural WPL auctions last year at base price of Rs 10 lakh and she finished with six wickets in seven matches, the most for her team. In Septemb

WPL review: Women's Premier League looking to push boundaries, literally

Shafali Verma shimmied down the track and deposited off-spinner Ashleigh Gardner's slot-ball on the off-stump 91 metres over wide long-on for a six, the longest of this year's Women's Premier League. That nearly 20 seconds of explosive moment underlined the fast-evolving landscape of women's cricket -- the increasing infiltration of power and fitness. But it has also accentuated the talk about the possibility of stretching the boundary perimeter similar to that in men's cricket. "Yeah, we have seen some big sixes getting hit this year in the WPL, and a lot of chat is going on about pushing back the boundary lines (in the tournament). The increasing power limit of players is obvious, thanks to their focus on fitness. "But for that (increasing the length of boundary), detailed discussion with players, coaches etc is needed as ultimately, they have the biggest say in matters related to playing conditions," a BCCI official told PTI on condition of anonymity. Irrespective of the future

WPL 2024: RCB captain Mandhana reveals the reason behind team's success

Smriti Mandhana's self-belief wavered in pressure situations last year but this season she was able to conquer the demons in her mind when pushed against the wall, helping RCB land their first major title in franchise cricket. Speaking to media after RCB beat Delhi Capitals in a low-scoring WPL final, Mandhana said she has matured as a captain and player since last season. "One thing that I have learned is to believe in yourself. That was something which lacked in me last year when it did go wrong. "I doubted a few things in myself but that was the real conversation with my mind, I need to keep trusting myself and I think that was the biggest learning for me," said Mandhana on Sunday night. The second season saw Mandhana getting her hands on the trophy while Harmanpreet Kaur had led Mumbai Indians to the title in the inaugural edition. That only shows the depth of Indian cricket, said Mandhana. "Last year when MI and DC were playing in the final, somewhere deep down I hoped that .

WPL 2024, DC vs RCB preview: Delhi to start as favourites in the final

In-form Delhi Capitals, led by the inspirational Meg Lanning, would hope to be second time lucky and lift their maiden Women's Premier League title when they take on a plucky Royal Challengers Bangalore in the summit clash here on Sunday. After missing out on the title in WPL's inaugural edition last year, losing by seven wickets to Mumbai Indians in the final, DC looked a rejuvenated side this year. DC have been in superb form this year, topping the five-team league standings with 12 points from eight matches. Lanning has led DC from the front, scoring 308 runs from eight innings, while South African all-rounder Marizanne Kapp and Australian left-arm spinner Jess Jonassen are the highest wicket-takers for the side with 11 scalps each. DC's only two defeats this season came against Mumbai Indians UP Warriorz. Leaving aside those two matches, they have enjoyed a near-perfect campaign. Going into the final, they will definitely start as favourites, having never lost to RCB in four .
