By IANS News January 21, 2026 • 09:03 AM View: 417

Skipper Jemimah Rodrigues' unbeaten 51 after brilliant opening batting from wicketkeeper-batter Lizelle Lee (46) helped Delhi Capitals beat Mumbai Indians by seven wickets in the 13th match of the Women's Premier League (WPL) 2026 at the Kotambi Stadium in Vadodara on Tuesday.

The chase for a modest 155 almost stumbled midway, but Rodrigues made sure there was no late drama. Instead of relying on brute force, she focused on right placement and consistent running between the wickets to guide Delhi to victory with six balls left. She demonstrated her leadership when it mattered most.
