Once jess

After Delhi Capitals: After Delhi Capitals stormed into the playoffs of WPL 2025 with a dominant win over the home side Royal Challengers Bengaluru, Shafali Verma reflected on her match-winning 80 not out off 43 and said a batter has to begin from scratch each time, even if the player is playing on consecutive days.

Meg Lanning’s DC became the first team to seal a playoff berth in the WPL 2025, clinching a dominant 9-wicket victory over Royal Challengers Bengaluru in Match 14. The win further solidified their position at the top of the table, with 10 points from 7 matches and five commanding victories.

Debutant N. Charani and Shikha Pandey scalped two wickets each to restrict the home side to 147/5 in 20 overs. Delhi Capitals then chased down the target in just 15.3 overs as Shafali Verma (80 not out) and Jess Jonassen (61 not out off 38) stitched a match-winning 146-run stand, sealing the win in style.
