Nandni Sharma led the attack with figures of 3 for 26, including two wickets in the final over, and retained the Purple Cap with 13 wickets in the tournament so far. Marizanne Kapp (2 for 17), Chinelle Henry (2 for 22) and Minnu Mani (2 for 18) supported with disciplined spells to restrain the opposition.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12.16px;\">Chasing 110, Delhi Capitals steadied after an early wobble to complete the target in professional fashion. Skipper Jemimah Rodrigues and Laura Wolvaardt shared a 52-run stand to calm the innings, with Wolvaardt finishing unbeaten on 42 and Rodrigues contributing a valuable 24. The Capitals finished on 111 for 3, sealing the win with 7 wickets in hand aiming to stay in the playoff hunt.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12.16px;\">Reflecting on the bowling effort and execution as a unit, Delhi Capitals all-rounder Minnu Mani said, \u201cWe were very clear with our plans going into the game because we knew the wicket here would be slow and low. As a bowling unit, we focused on hitting the right lengths and not trying to do too much. Everyone stuck to their roles, and the way we executed our plans collectively made a big difference.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12.16px;\">Speaking about the role of spin and how the team kept things tight, Mani added, \u201cOn pitches like this, patience becomes very important. You cannot expect wickets straight away, but if you keep things tight and force batters to take risks, chances will come. As spinners, our job was to control the middle overs, mix up pace and make it difficult to score freely, and I think we did that really well today.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12.16px;\">Opening up about her own performance in the match and recent improvements, Mani said, \u201cIn the earlier games, my execution was not where I wanted it to be, even though the effort was there. I kept working on it in training and trusted what the coaches were telling me. Today, things clicked better at a crucial moment, and I am really happy that I could contribute when the team needed it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12.16px;\">Highlighting the confidence the team is building from successive results, she said, \u201cWinning back-to-back matches definitely gives you confidence, but more importantly, it shows that we are learning as a group. Even when we were under pressure in different phases of the game, we stayed calm and trusted our process. That is something we want to carry forward.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12.16px;\">Delhi Capitals will next face Gujarat Giants in their upcoming Women\u2019s Premier League 2026 fixture on Tuesday, January 27, as they look to build on the momentum from back-to-back victories.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vadodara: Delhi Capitals completed back to back wins in the Women\u2019s Premier League 2026 with a lethal display across departments against Royal Challengers Bengaluru at the BCA Stadium, Kotambi, here on Saturday.
