After Delhi Capitals: After Delhi Capitals' emphatic nine-wicket win over Mumbai Indians in the WPL 2025 clash on Friday, former India skipper Mithali Raj praised winning team captain Meg Lanning, who played an unbeaten knock of 60 runs off 49 balls including nine fours, and said her performance came at the right time for the franchise.

Opting to bowl first, Delhi restricted Mumbai to a paltry total of 123/9 in 20 overs as Jess Jonassen and Minnu Mani bagged three scalps each.

In reply, Lanning led from the front with opener Shafali Verma and stitched an opening stand of 85 runs to set the solid foundation for the run chase. Amanjot Kaur bagged the sole wicket of Delhi's innings with a dismissal of Shafali on 43. Jemmimah Rodrigues and Lanning guided the side to a dominating win with 33 balls to spare.
