The Women’s Premier League 2026 heated up as Delhi Capitals stunned Mumbai Indians with a 7-wicket triumph in Vadodara’s BCA Stadium. Captain Jemimah Rodrigues’ unbeaten 51 guided her team home, marking DC’s second victory and fourth-place finish after five matches. MI, slipping to 2-4, laments a third successive defeat but holds second via net run rate.
MI, sent in, managed 154/5 with Nat Sciver-Brunt’s heroic 65* (45 balls: 6 fours, 2 sixes). After Sajana (9) and Matthews (12) fell for 21/2, Sciver-Brunt’s 78-run alliance with Harmanpreet (41, 33b, 7×4) and 31 with Carey (12) built the total. Sri Chanu’s 3 wickets highlighted DC’s effort.
DC’s chase sparkled: Shefali (29, 24b, 6×4) and Lee’s 63/7.3 overs, Lee’s 46 (7×4, 1×6) nearly a fifty. Wolvaardt (17) set up Rodrigues’ flourish—51* (37b, 5×4, 1×6)—with Kapp (10*), their 37* off 17 sealing victory in 19 overs.
MI’s Amanjot and Vaishnavi took one each. RCB’s qualification leaves four teams scrapping; DC surges, MI warns of vulnerabilities in the title hunt.
