Delhi Capitals reignited their WPL 2026 campaign with a dominant 7-wicket victory over Mumbai Indians at BCA Stadium, Vadodara. Jemimah Rodrigues’ captain’s knock proved decisive, notching an unbeaten half-century to chase down 155 with ease. This result hands DC their second win from five games, vaulting them to fourth, while MI endures a third loss in a row, now 2-4 but still second overall.
Batting first after losing the toss, MI reached 154/5 thanks to Nat Sciver-Brunt’s unbeaten 65 (45b, 6×4, 2×6). Her partnerships were key: 78 runs with Harmanpreet Kaur (41 off 33, 7×4) after early losses of Sajana (9) and Matthews (12), and 31 with Nicola Carey (12).
DC’s bowling was sharp, led by Sri Chanu’s three strikes, ensuring MI couldn’t accelerate. Kapp and Sharma complemented with wickets.
DC’s pursuit began explosively with Shefali Verma and Lizelle Lee’s 63-run powerplay blitz. Verma (29, 24b, 6×4) fell, but Lee’s 46 (7×4, 1×6) kept momentum. Wolvaardt (17 off 19) bridged to Rodrigues, whose 51* (37b, 5×4, 1×6) and Kapp’s 10* clinched it in 19 overs amid an unbroken 37-run stand.
Amanjot Kaur and Vaishnavi Sharma were MI’s lone wicket-takers. With RCB through to knockouts, the battle for top spots heats up—DC is back in contention, MI faces pressure.
