WPL 2024: DC's Shafali Verma hopes to inspire women with win on women's day

Delhi Capitals' swashbuckling opener Shafali Verma is hoping to see plenty of spectators, especially girls, turn up for their WPL match against UP Warriorz and "feel inspired" on the International Women's Day here on Friday. With four wins and a loss in five matches so far, Delhi Capitals are currently at the top of the points table, and they will look to extend their winning run. Speaking about playing the match on the occasion of International Women's Day, Shafali said, "I think the last time I played a game on International Women's Day was during the T20 World Cup final in Australia. "The stadium was packed, and I hope tomorrow as well, many people turn up, especially girls. We will aim to play well and women feel inspired by us and excel in their respective fields."

WPL 2024: Mumbai Indians crush UPW by 42 runs to extract sweet revenge

Mumbai Indians extracted sweet revenge on UP Warriorz, defeating them by 42 runs to climb to the second spot in the standings of the Women's Premier League here on Thursday. Opting to bat, MI overcame early jitters to post a decent 160/6. While Nat Sciver-Brunt (45 off 31) and skipper Harmanpreet Kaur (33 off 30) added 59 off 46 balls for the third wicket to steady MI's ship, the innings got impetus due to Amelia Kerr (39 not out off 23 balls) and rising star Sajeevan Sajana's (22 not out off 14 balls) knocks. The duo added 43 in 4.2 overs towards the end. UPW struggled in their chase, finding runs difficult to come by as they could manage 118 for nine. The win was a sweet revenge for MI who lost by seven wickets against UPW on February 28 in Bengaluru. UPW's problems compounded when they lost three key wickets -- skipper Alyssa Healy, Kiran Navgire and Chamari Athapaththu -- inside the first five overs for just 15 runs. UPW never really recovered from the torrid start as the ask

The crowd cheered, asked for dance moves in WPL match: Jemimah Rodrigues

The Delhi crowd was not content with Jemimah Rodrigues' cuts, pulls and drives, and her 33-ball 69-run knock. The heads totting the stands at Arun Jaitley Stadium were also asking her "for dance moves". Thanks to fifties from Jemimah and Meg Lanning, Delhi Capitals posted a handsome 192/4 in their Women's Premier League match against Mumbai Indians here on Tuesday night. The total proved to be enough as DC won by 29 runs in their first home game. "I loved the atmosphere. Finally, we get to play on our home ground because we played in Mumbai (last season), in Bengaluru earlier, but now finally in Delhi," the 23-year-old batter said in a press release from the franchise. "The crowd always gets me going, they keep me pumped up and I really take energy from them. Every time I was going to the boundary they were cheering, they were asking for dance moves. It was a nice experience out there," she added. Besides her big hits, Jemimah has also earned online fame for the short dance videos

Shabnim Ismail bowls fastest delivery in women's cricket, breaches 130kph

South African pacer Shabnim Ismail created history by bowling the fastest delivery ever recorded in women's cricket, breaching the 130kph barrier for the first time since the introduction of speed guns. Playing for Mumbai Indians in their Women's Premier League (WPL) match against Delhi Capitals at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, Ismail shattered the record by clocking 132.1km/h (82.08mph), her thunderbolt smashing into the pad of former Australia captain Meg Lanning. It was the second ball of the third over of the match on Tuesday, prompting the MI players to appeal in unison, only to be turned down by the umpire. Ismail, who appeared for South Africa in all eight previous ICC Women's T20 World Cups and only retired from international cricket following last year's tournament on home soil, had previously been clocked as bowling at 128km/h (79.54mph) against the West Indies in 2016 and at 127km/h twice during the most recent edition of the Women's World Cup in 2022. When asked during a ..

Skipper Meg Lanning and Jemimah Rodrigues smashed commanding fifties as Delhi Capitals thrashed Mumbai Indians by 29 runs in a top-of-the-table clash of the Women's Premier League (WPL) here on Tuesday. Sent in to bat, Lanning fired at the top with a 38-ball 53, while Jemimah hit an entertaining 33-ball 69 to provide the late acceleration as DC racked up a massive 192 for 4 after the WPL juggernaut moved to the national capital amid lukewarm response. Mumbai Indians' chase never took off, ending up with a 163 for 8 despite Amanjot Kaur's 42 off 27 and Hayley Matthews' 29 off 17 as the defending champions crashed to their second defeat in five matches and only second against DC in WPL history. This was Delhi's fourth win on the trot as they moved two points clear of Mumbai with eight points from five matches.

Lanning is currently the third highest scorer in the tournament with 148 runs from four innings, with the help of two fifties. In DC's last match, Lanning scored a vital 55 off 41 balls to lead her side to a 25-run win over Gujarat Giants. "I'm just enjoying playing cricket...we've got a really good squad and staff that makes it a really cool environment to be in.

WPL 2024: Mumbai Indians pummel Royal Challengers Bangalore by 7 wickets

Mumbai Indians batters and bowlers functioned in perfect sync to power their side to a seven-wicket win over Royal Challengers Bangalore in their Women's Premier League match here on Saturday. Yastika Bhatia (31, 15 balls, 4x4, 2x6) and Hayley Matthews (26, 21b, 3x4, 1x6) added 45 runs for the first wicket in just 3.5 overs to give a sound launching pad to MI. The subsequent batters exploited the strong start to register a fine win, reaching the 132-run target with 29 balls to spare to take them to the top of the table with six points. The MI bowlers were efficient while restricting RCB to a timid 131 for six. Bhatia gave a fiery start to the Mumbai chase as she began with a boundary off pacer Renuka Singh in the very first ball and the introduction of Sophie Molineux prompted her to take aggression to next level. The left-hander smashed the left-arm spinner over the deep mid-wicket for a six and then carted her past point for a four. However, Bhatia was not all power as she show
