RCB, despite leading the table, are also facing a drop in form after a promising start. A five-match winning streak was followed by back-to-back defeats, raising questions about their momentum.
Delhi Capitals' skipper Jemimah Rodrigues has been fined Rs 12 lakh for maintaining slow over-rate during their Women's Premier League clash against Gujarat Giants. Delhi Capitals lost the game by three runs here at the Baroda Cricket Association Stadium on Tuesday to slip to the fourth spot in the points table. "Jemimah Rodrigues, Captain of Delhi Capitals has been fined after her team maintained a slow over rate during their team's match against Gujarat Giants at the BCA Stadium, Vadodara on Tuesday," WPL said in a statement. "As it was her first offence of the season under the WPL's Code of Conduct relating to minimum over rate offences, Jemimah was fined INR 12 lakhs," it added. With six points and a Net Run Rate of -0.164, Delhi Capitals are locked in a battle for top-three finish for the WPL playoffs. They will take on the bottom-placed UP Warriorz in their next match on February 1.
UP Warriorz on Wednesday picked England wicketkeeper-batter Amy Jones as a replacement for injured Phoebe Litchfield for the remainder of the Women's Premier League. Litchfield, who is the team's leading run-getter, has been ruled out of the tournament due to injury in big blow to UPW's playoff hopes ahead of their clash against Royal Challengers Bengaluru on Thursday. The Australian batter is among the top three run-getters this season with 243 runs in six matches. Jones has featured in 125 T20Is and has 1,666 runs. She will join the Warriorz for Rs 50 lakh, the WPL stated in a release. UPW currently have just two wins and four points from six matches and a poor net run rate of -0.769 as they will need big wins to climb the standings. The Warriorz, however, have two matches in hand -- against RCB and Delhi Capitals -- and can reach eight points, but will also depend on other results.
