WPL 2024: Shafali Verma’s onslaught against hapless Gujarat Giants takes Delhi Capitals straight into final

[ad_1] Seven fours, five sixes, and an all-round confident performance. If there was anything to perfectly encapsulate Delhi Capitals’ dominance over Gujarat Giants, it was Shafali Verma’s belligerence with the bat, hitting a 37-ball 71 to take her team to a seven-wicket win, chasing down 126 with almost seven overs to spare in the final league match of the Women’s Premier League (WPL) on Wednesday. Skipper Meg Lanning may have once again become the leading run-scorer of the tournament, but after her early run-out and Alice Capsey’s wicket caused a slight wobble, it was Shafali who took control with the bat to obliterate Gujarat’s limp bowling attack. The 20-year-old opener proved she is not simply an aggressor at the top, but also has the ability to pace her innings and see a run-chase ...

WPL: Sloppy Gujarat Giants remain winless as Delhi Capitals’ impressive run takes them to the top

[ad_1] As Delhi Capitals cantered to a 25-run win over Gujarat Giants despite a bit of a wobble with the bat in their Women’s Premier League (WPL) fixture on Sunday, the difference between a top-level franchise at the top of the league table and a messily-assembled, inexperienced squad had never been clearer. Giants had done well to take wickets through the middle overs in the first innings but even as their bowling delivered, sloppy batting, careless fielding – which included dropping a few sitters – allowed Meg Lanning’s side reach 163. And by staying sharp in the field and not allowing their opponents any gifts, Capitals’ par total proved beyond Giants’ flailing batting order. Lanning’s 41-ball 55 was crucial in avoiding a collapse for her side, especially on a day the depth of their ...
