WPL 2024: Delhi Capitals Secure Top Spot with a 25-Run Victory Over Gujarat Giants

Delhi Capitals, who are now rooted at the bottom of the five-team Women’s Premier League (WPL) at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru, made it even worse for the winless Gujarat Giants on Sunday. The team captained by Meg Lanning won by 25 runs to take the top spot in the points table, leaving GG empty-handed after four straight losses.

Opening the bat for DC, Lanning hit a 41-ball 55 (6×4, 1×6) to push the runners-up from the previous edition to 163/8. Meghna Singh, a pacer from Gujarat, claimed three of the first four wickets (4/37), but her team still had a difficult target to pursue. GG bowled well compared to earlier games, but they were put on the back foot by dropped catches. As they pursued the objective, they were limited to 138/8.

Jonassen’s Stellar Performance Leads Delhi Capitals to Victory

Ashleigh Gardener (40 – 31b, 5×4, 1×6) of Australia did give GG some hope in the chase, but Jess Jonassen, a left-arm spinner, ended her stay at the wicket when Taniya Bhatia stumped her.

The left-arm spinner Jonassen (3/22) showed her mettle in T20, making the most of her spell with three vital wickets. The opportunity to tie the game was missed by the GG batters. Radha Yadav, a left-arm spinner, also took 3/20 after weaving a web over GG hitters.

Captain Beth Mooney would have hoped that her bowlers would limit DC if she had decided to bowl. Meghna made an impression by taking out Lanning, Alice Capsey (27), and Shafali Verma (13). Leading from the front, Kathryn Bryce dropped the DC captain, who might have been out on 30 off spinner Mannat Kashyap’s bowling. DC’s innings gained momentum thanks to 17-ball 27 from Capsey and a 12-ball 20 from Annabel Sutherland.

‘Sorry Bhai…’: Rishabh Pant Apologizes After Cameraperson Is Hit by DC Captain’s Shot

Rishabh Pant led the Delhi Capitals to a stunning four-run victory over Gujarat Titans in an IPL 2024 match at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Wednesday night. Pant was either side’s top scorer, hitting a 43-ball 88 to help DC beat the former champions by 224/4.

Pant smashed five fours and eight sixes during his blistering performance. Unfortunately, one of his massive sixes resulted in a cameraman from the BCCI production crew being hit during the tournament.

Pant apologized to the crew member and wished him a speedy recovery in a video message sent after the match, alongside DC head coach Ricky Ponting.

“Sorry Debashish bhai, I did not intend to hit you, but I believe you will recover well and wish you luck,” Pant said in a video published by IPL on their social media account on X.

Pant has returned to competitive cricket in fine form after more than a year recovering from injuries sustained in a vehicle accident in December 2022. The ongoing IPL is his first competitive event, and he’s been fairly effective with the bat and behind the stumps as well.

“Every day that I’m in the middle, I feel better,” Pant remarked after the game on Wednesday. “Every hour on the field is valuable; I enjoy being on the field. I strive to give everything my all, which sometimes takes some time. I believe that the first six points in a match give me confidence in the game. The longer I spend in the core, the better I feel.”

Mohit Sharma Concedes 73 Runs, Sets Record for ‘Worst Bowling Figures’ in IPL History

During Wednesday’s Indian Premier League (IPL) match between the Delhi Capitals (DC) and Gujarat Titans (GT) at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi, Mohit Sharma let up the most runs in his four overs—73—which is the lowest total in the league.

In the final over, Rishabh Pant struck 31 runs with four sixes and one four, forcing Mohit to give up.

Sandeep Warrier struck in his second over, dismissing both of Delhi’s openers and taking a third wicket, as Shubman Gill continued to have faith in his opening bowlers. Rashid Khan and Noor Ahmad, the spin team, were unable to fully dominate the middle segment, though.

Given that Sai Kishore had not bowled a ball before this game, Gill may have erred by not believing in Warrier for the 19th over and instead placing him in danger.

With the help of a scorching century partnership between Pant and Axar Patel as well as rapidfire half-centuries, Delhi Capitals defeated Gujarat Titans 224/4. After DC was down 44 for 3 in 6 overs, Pant and Axar used their counterattacking hitting to stitch 113 off just 68 balls for the fourth wicket.

Pant and Axar attempted to form a partnership when trailing three wickets, but once they were set, they launched a vicious attack.
