Royal Challengers Bengaluru won their second Women’s Premier League title, chasing 204 with Mandhana and Voll starring in a record 165-run partnership.

RCB wins second WPL title after six-wicket victory over Delhi Capitals

Royal Challengers Bengaluru won their second Women&rsquo;s Premier League title, chasing 204 with Mandhana and Voll starring in a record 165-run partnership.

Displaying absolute dominance, a Smriti Mandhana-inspired Royal Challengers Bengaluru lifted their second Women's Premier League trophy with a six-wicket victory over Delhi Capitals, who failed to seize the moment on the biggest stage despite playing in their fourth final in Vadodara on Thursday.
RCB captain Mandhana looked in imperious touch on her way to a magnificent 87 off 41 balls, while Georgia Voll smashed 79 in 54 deliveries during a 165-run partnership for the second wicket with her skipper, which paved the way for a memorable title triumph.
This was after skipper Jemimah Rodrigues rose to the occasion with a scintillating half-century and Chinelle Henry blazed away to a 15-ball 35 to lift Delhi Capitals to an imposing 203 for four. Laura Wolvaardt (44 not out off 25 balls) and Lizelle Lee (37 off 30 balls) also made quick runs after DC were put in. Rodrigues slammed 57 off 37 balls.
In reply, RCB completed the record chase with two balls remaining while joining Mumbai Indians as the most successful teams in the WPL. In the stiff chase, RCB lost the big wicket of Grace Harris (9) early, but skipper Smriti Mandhana and Georgia Voll kept them in the contest by scoring quickly and keeping pace with the required run rate.
Both Mandhana and Georgia drove anything that was pitched up with ease, pulled and cut the short balls with authority as RCB reached 100 exactly at the halfway mark, requiring 104 runs in 60 balls. Meanwhile, Mandhana, having just hit two sixes, raced to her fifty in 23 balls with a sublime boundary against Sneh Rana. Voll was also at her best at the other end, dispatching everything that was in her arc with utter disdain.
The equation came down to 54 of 36 balls after Mandhana smashed Shree Charani for two boundaries to take RCB to 150 in 14 overs. The two continued to dominate until Voll gave her wicket away to Minnu Mani, raising DC hopes. However, RCB held their nerves to emerge winners.
Earlier, the Royal Challengers were on the money in the first three overs with Lauren Bell and Sayali Satghare conceding just nine runs as Shafali Verma and Lee did not get enough width to free their arms. However, the fourth over bowled by Satghare saw the Capitals release the pressure with Lee clobbering the medium pacer's half-volley and half-tracker for two successive sixes &mdash; one over long-off and another over mid-wicket.
There was then an appeal for a stumping thanks to Richa Ghosh's enterprise, and it was followed by Satghare failing to latch on to a difficult caught-and-bowled chance, ending an eventful over that yielded the Capitals 20 runs and gave them the much-needed momentum after the sluggish start.
With DC reaching 36 after five overs, skipper Smriti Mandhana introduced Arundhati Reddy into the attack, and Shafali straightaway collected two fours. However, Reddy hit back with the wicket of Shafali with a short ball, which was smartly taken by Ghosh behind the stumps.
The classy Laura Wolvaardt began with an exquisite boundary before Lee welcomed off-spinner Shreyanka Patil into the attack with two fours and a six on the trot, lifting DC to 72 for one in seven overs. It took compatriot Nadine de Klerk to end the dangerous Lee's stay in the middle, as the opener skied one for Grace Harris to run in from long-on to complete a clean catch.
Rodrigues joined Wolvaardt, and the duo found the gaps at will with their stylish batting to keep RCB under pressure with a partnership of 76 runs.
In the end though, RCB had the last laugh, once again, in a rematch of the 2024 final.
Brief scores: Delhi Capitals 203/4 in 20 overs (Laura Wolvaardt 44, Jemimah Rodrigues 57). RCB 204/4 in 19.4 overs (Smriti Mandhana 87, Georgia Voll 79).

Delhi Capitals defeated RCB by 6 wickets in IPL 2025, spearheaded by KL Rahul's unbeaten 93. Despite RCB's early gains, late-game dynamics and strategic missteps led to their downfall.

Delhi Capitals Secure Victory with KL Rahul's 93

KL Rahul's commanding 93 not out secured Delhi Capitals’ victory over RCB in IPL 2025. Despite a strong start, RCB couldn't maintain momentum, with on-field tensions highlighted by Virat Kohli's reactions.

Kohli's Reaction to Patidar Sparks Speculation

Delhi Capitals maintained their unbeaten run in IPL 2025, defeating RCB by 6 wickets, led by KL Rahul's unbeaten 93. RCB's early advantage was lost, sparking on-field discussions. RCB now holds third place, while Delhi leads the standings.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru succumbed to a 6-wicket defeat against the formidable Delhi Capitals in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 clash on Thursday.
Despite a strong start at home while defending a total of 163, RCB couldn't withstand the onslaught led by KL Rahul.
The Capitals' opener, returning to familiar grounds, remained undefeated with a masterful 93, ensuring the visitors maintained their unbeaten streak this season.
RCB initially had the upper hand, dismissing Delhi's top three batters for a paltry 30 runs.
However, as Rahul began to assert his dominance in the latter part of the innings, a visibly animated Virat Kohli was spotted engaging in a fervent discussion with his coach, Dinesh Karthik.
The exchange, captured on live television, has sparked speculation regarding Kohli&rsquo;s dissatisfaction with some decisions made by current skipper Rajat Patidar.
Commentators Aakash Chopra and Virender Sehwag noted that any grievances Kohli may have should be communicated to the captain, as he no longer holds that position.
Observers also noted Kohli sharing his thoughts with veteran pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar about on-field strategies. The specific reasons for Kohli's visible agitation remain undisclosed.
Rahul's innings was pivotal in the Capitals' chase, allowing them to comfortably reach the target with 2.1 overs remaining. RCB&rsquo;s captain, Rajat Patidar, attributed the team's loss to the batters' failure to capitalize on a seemingly favorable pitch.
Reflecting on the defeat, Patidar remarked, "The wicket appeared suitable for batting, but our performance didn&rsquo;t reflect that. Our top order showed intent but faltered collapsing from 80 for 1 to 90 for 4. Despite having a strong lineup, we need better situational assessment. Tim David's late acceleration was commendable, and our powerplay bowling stood out. Our focus remains on playing good cricket irrespective of where we play."
As a result of the defeat, RCB find themselves third on the points table, while Delhi Capitals solidify their position at the top, asserting their dominance in the 18th edition of the T20 league.

Delhi Capitals narrowly defeated Lucknow Super Giants, chasing 210 with heroes Ashutosh Sharma and Vipraj Nigam sealing the win. Captains ensure reflective strategies for future IPL matches.

Delhi Capitals Edge Out LSG in Thrilling IPL Finish

Delhi Capitals' thrilling victory over Lucknow Super Giants saw them chase 210, thanks to key performances by Ashutosh Sharma and Vipraj Nigam. LSG’s captain Rishabh Pant noted missed execution opportunities, underscoring the IPL’s unpredictability.

Delhi Capitals achieve dramatic victory over LSG in thrilling IPL clash

Delhi Capitals chased down 210, winning by one wicket against Lucknow Super Giants. Ashutosh Sharma shone with 66*, aided by Vipraj Nigam's impactful 39. LSG captain Pant noted missed opportunities, while DC's Axar Patel praised his team's tenacity.

Lucknow Super Giants skipper Rishabh Pant felt his bowlers could have done the basics better at the back end as the target of 210 was defendable against a marauding Delhi Capitals who won by one wicket with three balls to spare in their IPL match on Monday.
Ashutosh Sharma's 66 not out of 31 balls and Vipraj Nigam's 39 off 15 deliveries fashioned what looked like an improbable win after DC were dead and buried at 113 for 6.
"I think our top-order batters played really well and I think it was a pretty good score on this wicket. We got early wickets, but we knew it was a good wicket to bat on. We had to keep doing the basics right more often. I think they had a couple of good partnerships," Pant said at post-match presentation ceremony.
He lauded DC player Tristan Stubbs, who set the dice rolling before it was carried on by Ashutosh and Vipraj.
"One with Stubbs, with Ashutosh and one with one other guy (Vipraj Nigam.) I think he (Nigam) did a pretty good job and took the game away from us.
There was enough for the bowlers, but I think we could have done the basics right.
"We felt the pressure, we are still settling in, but a lots of positives to take from this match." An ecstatic DC skipper Axar Patel said that in his tenure as skipper, one should be prepared to take a roller-coaster ride.
"Be prepared for it now. It's going to be like this only under my captaincy. Things will be up and down a little. Now that we have won, people won't complain about why I gave that over to Stubbs (28 runs)." The way batters are slaying bowlers, Axar said that it started from last year.
"Don't remember the last time I saw something like this. The way they played in the first six overs, we felt we gave a few too many early on. We dropped some catches as well. It looked like they could score 240, but we pulled things back."
Player of the match Ashutosh dedicated his award to his mentor Shikhar Dhawan and said that it was a good thing that Vipraj initially attacked when he was not actually getting wood to leather.
"Well played to Vipraj. I asked him to keep hitting. He was very calm under pressure. Want to dedicate this award to my mentor Shikhar paaji."
Ashutosh said that he had learnt his lessons from previous season when he couldn't finish a few close games. "Took the lessons from last year. Missed out on finishing the game on a couple of occasions in the previous season. The whole year I focussed and visualised about it. Had the belief that if I play till the last over, anything can happen," he said.

Delhi Capitals claimed a thrilling one-wicket victory against Lucknow Super Giants in IPL 2025, thanks to Ashutosh Sharma's unbeaten 66. Despite early setbacks, DC achieved the target with three balls to spare.

Delhi Capitals Triumph in Thrilling IPL 2025 Encounter

Delhi Capitals pulled off a stunning win over Lucknow Super Giants in IPL 2025, with Ashutosh Sharma's match-winning 66. The game showcased thrilling plays and intense competition, keeping fans at the edge of their seats.

Ashutosh Sharma's heroics propel DC to thrilling win over LSG in IPL 2025

Delhi Capitals secure a thrilling one-wicket win over Lucknow Super Giants, driven by Ashutosh Sharma's explosive batting display, crafting an unbeaten 66, setting a nail-biting finish in IPL 2025.

In a thrilling showdown at the Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium, Delhi Capitals clinched a nail-biting one-wicket victory over Lucknow Super Giants in the fourth match of IPL 2025, thanks to Ashutosh Sharma's scintillating unbeaten 66 off 31 balls.
The late fireworks from Sharma, aided by his crucial partnership with Vipraj Nigam, turned the tables in Delhi's favour after a poor start to their daunting chase of 210.
Delhi's innings began disastrously, losing three wickets for a mere eight runs. Although Faf du Plessis and Axar Patel provided a semblance of stability, their dismissals left DC reeling at 85 for 5, with an ever-increasing required run rate that seemed insurmountable.
Captain Rishabh Pant, reflecting on the match, acknowledged the pressure his team faced, yet praised the pivotal contributions from Ashutosh and Nigam.
"The target on the board was challenging, and our opponents batted extraordinarily well. Despite losing momentum at times, I believe we can draw positives and learn from each match," said Pant. "Executing the basics consistently remains our focus."
Sharma found himself at 20 off 20 balls when the required rate surpassed 12 runs per over. In a dramatic shift in momentum, Sharma unleashed a blistering attack, hammering 46 from the next 11 deliveries.
Vipraj Nigam's cameo, scoring a quickfire 39 off 15 balls, played a crucial support role before his dismissal by Digvesh Rathi.
Sharma's relentless aggression kept DC in the hunt, culminating in a triumphant six off Shahbaz Ahmed in the final over, sealing the victory with three balls to spare.
Lucknow Super Giants, earlier batting first, piled up 209 for 8, courtesy of explosive innings from Nicholas Pooran (75 off 30) and Mitchell Marsh (72 off 36).
At one point, LSG seemed poised to cross 250, but a spirited fightback by DC's bowlers curtailed them to just 49 runs in the last seven overs while claiming seven wickets.
Pant noted the crucial partnerships formed by Stubbsy and Ashutosh, attributing DC's win to strategic execution under pressure. "Luck also played its part, especially during moments that could have swung the game either way," he added.&nbsp;
Although it's early days in the tournament, both teams are settling in, eager to refine their strategies and build momentum for the matches to come.

Faf Du Plessis named vice-captain of Delhi Capitals for IPL 2025

Faf Du Plessis appointed vice-captain of Delhi Capitals for IPL 2025. Team led by Axar Patel, with first match on March 24 against Lucknow Super Giants.

South African veteran batter Faf Du Plessis has been appointed as the vice-captain of the Delhi Capitals (DC) ahead of the 2025 Indian Premier League (IPL) season.
The franchise made the announcement via their official X handle, sharing a video where Du Plessis, in a phone conversation, expressed his enthusiasm for his new role and his fondness for the team, stating phrases like "I am at home," and "Delhi has been great and boys have been fantastic."
Du Plessis, at 40, continues to demonstrate his prowess in T20 cricket, having participated in 404 matches for both his country and various franchises globally.
He has amassed an impressive 11,236 runs at an average of 32.66, including six centuries and 78 half-centuries in 383 innings.
His IPL journey has been equally noteworthy, with extensive experience that includes three seasons of captaincy for a Dubai-based team, leading them to two playoff appearances. In 145 IPL games, Du Plessis has accumulated 4,571 runs, averaging 35.99 with a strike rate exceeding 136, including 37 fifties with a top score of 96. A two-time IPL champion with Chennai Super Kings (CSK), Du Plessis was acquired by DC for Rs 2 crores in the last auction.
Du Plessis will serve as deputy to Indian all-rounder Axar Patel, who takes over as captain this season. Since joining the Capitals in 2019, the 31-year-old Axar has become a crucial player for the franchise.
Across 82 matches, he has contributed significantly with 967 runs and 62 wickets, maintaining a commendable economy rate of 7.09.
Axar, known for his dynamic fielding and crowd rapport, has been integral to the Indian national team's recent successes, including the T20 World Cup 2024 and ICC Champions Trophy 2025 victories.
Delhi Capitals are set to launch their IPL 2025 campaign against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in Vizag on March 24.

Axar Patel set to become Delhi Capitals' captain for IPL 2025 after leading India to Champions Trophy triumph.

After spearheading India's victory in the 2025 Champions Trophy with his exemplary all-round capabilities, Axar Patel is poised to take the helm of Delhi Capitals (DC) for the 2025 Indian Premier League (IPL) season.
The all-rounder previously assumed captaincy duties for DC in IPL 2024 when former captain Rishabh Pant was benched for a crucial match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) due to an over-rate infraction.
Sources close to the development informed IANS on Tuesday of Axar&rsquo;s likely appointment as DC skipper, stating, &ldquo;Axar Patel is likely to be named Delhi Capitals captain for IPL 2025. While the franchise had initially considered KL Rahul for the role, Rahul has expressed his preference to contribute as a player in the upcoming tournament.&rdquo;
Axar, associated with DC since 2019, was retained ahead of the IPL 2025 mega auction for an impressive Rs 18 crore.
Over his IPL tenure of 150 matches, Axar has amassed 1,653 runs at a strike rate of 130.88 and claimed 123 wickets with an economical left-arm spin, maintaining a bowling economy of 7.28.
Having served as India's vice-captain during their resounding 4-1 T20I series defeat of England at home this year, Axar&rsquo;s anticipated elevation to DC captaincy for IPL 2025 marks a significant challenge in his career.
The franchise continues its quest for a maiden championship title.
KL Rahul, a former leadership option, joined DC for Rs 14 crore at last year's mega auction.
The wicketkeeper-batter has held captaincy roles for Punjab Kings (PBKS) and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) for two seasons each, guiding LSG to playoff berths in both the 2022 and 2023 IPL seasons.
According to inside sources, Rahul will partake in DC&rsquo;s campaign sans the captaincy.
DC&rsquo;s opening fixture for the IPL 2025 schedule is against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) at Visakhapatnam&rsquo;s ACA-VDCA Stadium on March 24. Before heading to Visakhapatnam on March 17, the team will engage in a brief three-day training camp in New Delhi this week.

Delhi Capitals Dominate Gujarat Giants in WPL

Delhi Capitals secured a six-wicket victory over Gujarat Giants, thanks to Shafali Verma and Jess Jonassen's stellar batting, with Jonassen scoring 61* and Verma 44. Giants were limited to 127/9, while Capitals chased the total in just 15.1 overs, topping the WPL standings.

Delhi Capitals secure Six-wicket win over Gujarat Giants

Delhi Capitals thus moved to the top spot in the points table with their third win in five matches but their net run rate remained in negative (-0.223) in the five-team competition.

In a commanding performance, Delhi Capitals overpowered Gujarat Giants with a decisive six-wicket victory in the Women's Premier League.
The clash unfolded at a venue where Shafali Verma and Jess Jonassen stole the spotlight with their exceptional batting prowess. Gujarat Giants, struggling from the start, could only muster 127 for nine, a total that Delhi chased down efficiently in just 15.1 overs.
Shafali Verma was in fiery form, scoring a brisk 44 off 27 balls, marking her highest score of the season. Her partnership with Jess Jonassen, who remained unbeaten on 61 from 32 deliveries, was pivotal.
The duo added 74 runs for the second wicket, dismantling Gujarat's bowling attack and extinguishing any hope of a comeback after Meg Lanning's early dismissal.
Despite being trapped leg-before by Giants' captain Ashleigh Gardner, Verma's innings laid a strong foundation. Jonassen proceeded to punish the bowlers, hitting nine fours and two sixes, steered Delhi to a comfortable win and lifted them to the top of the points table, although their net run rate lingered in the negative (-0.223).
The Giants' innings was marred by a shaky start, finding themselves at a precarious 60 for six at the halfway point due to a disciplined performance by Delhi's pace attackers &mdash; Marizanne Kapp, Shikha Pandey, and Annabel Sutherland, who claimed two wickets each.
Bharti Fulmali offered some resistance for Gujarat, scoring an unbeaten 40 and pushing their total beyond 125. Earlier, Deandra Dottin added 26 with a handful of boundaries, but Delhi's bowlers, led by Pandey and Kapp, were relentless.&nbsp;
Delhi's only stutter came late in their innings, losing quick wickets of Jemimah Rodrigues and Annabel Sutherland. Nonetheless, Delhi Capitals' display was near flawless, reaffirming their stature in the tournament.

<h2>A hat-trick of defeats means that their campaign is almost over. Same is the case with DC who are also hanging by a thread</h2>

The Luknow Super Giants needed to win on Tuesday in order to have a bright chance of making it to IPL 2024 playoffs but the Delhi Capitals beat LSG by 19 runs to put them on the brink of elimination.
KL Rahul's decision to bowl first backfired as DC posted a mammoth 208/4 on back of a half-century each by Abishek Porel and Tristan Stubbs.
Like in recent games, LSG were once again off to a disastrous start as their top order fell like a pack of cards. The visitors were reduced to 44/4 but that's when Nicholas Pooran decided to counter attack.
He blasted a fiery fifty but LSG kept loosing wickets. When Pooran fell for a 27-ball-61 it seemed like the game would be over soon but Arshad Khan saved Lucknow some embarrassment and smashed a fluent 58.
However, just 2 batters couldn't take LSG over the finish line as they eventually managed 189/9.

<h2>While RCB still have an outside chance of making it to the playoffs on back of 5 consecutive wins, DC are now also sailing in the same boat</h2>

The Royal Challengers Bengaluru continued with their resurgence in IPL 2024 as they thrashed the Delhi Capitals by 47 runs to stay alive in the race for the playoffs.
Stand-in captain Axar Patel's decision to bowl first at the Chinnaswamy was the right call as DC got rid of dangerous RCB openers, Virat Kohli and Faf du Plessis early.
However, it was once again Rajat Patidar who steadied his side's innings with his 5th half-century in last 7 innings in the IPL. But Delhi didn't let the hosts launch in the death overs and restricted RCB to 187/9.
Delhi had a disastrous start to their run-chase as they found themselves wanting at 30/4. That's when Axar Patel brought his side back into the contest with a fighting 57 off 39 balls.
But the absence of Rishabh Pant, who was handed a one-match ban, hurt the Capitals as no other batter supported Axar. Delhi was eventually bowled out for a mere 140, their lowest total this season.
While RCB still have an outside chance of making it to the playoffs on back of 5 consecutive wins, DC are now also sailing in the same boat. Both teams have 12 points from 13 games each.

The Delhi Capitals gave their IPL 2024 playoff hopes a huge boost as they beat the Rajasthan Royals by 20 runs on Tuesday to register their 3rd win in 4 outings. The Royals have now lost 2 in a row.
Sanju Samson's decision to put Delhi into bat backfired as DC posted a mammoth 221/8.
Jake Fraser-McGurk once again lit up the Arun Jaitley Stadium with a fifty off just 19 balls. Abhishek Porel top-scored with 65 but it was Tristan Stubbs' fiery 41 that helped Delhi reach that total.
Chasing which, Rajasthan lost Yashasvi Jaiswal and Jos Buttler early but Samson dropped anchor. He went on to smash a 46-ball-86 before being out in a controversial manner.
No other batter made a substantial score as the Royals could manage 201/8 in reply. Khaleel Ahmed, Kuldeep Yadav and Mukesh Kumar chipped in with 2 wickets each.
The difference were the last 3 overs. While DC scored 53 off their last 18 balls, RR managed only 20 runs.

IPL 2024: Delhi Capitals sign Afghanistan all-rounder Gulbadin Naib as Mitchell Marsh's replacement

The Delhi Capitals have signed Afghanistan all-rounder Gulbadin Naib for the remainder of IPL 2024.

#GulbadinNaib #IPL2024 #DC

<h2>Delhi Capitals have been unable to fix their overseas combinations till now, with Jake Fraser-McGurk the only non-Indian player assured of a place in the lineup currently.</h2>

The Delhi Capitals have officially brought in Afghanistan all-rounder Gulbadin Naib to bolster their squad for the remaining matches of IPL 2024. This strategic move comes following the season-ending injury to key player Mitchell Marsh, who has returned home due to a hamstring injury.
At 33 years old, Naib is set to fill the void left by Marsh. His extensive experience in T20 cricket will be invaluable to the Delhi Capitals, who find themselves in the middle of the points table and in need of a boost to secure a playoff spot. Naib, who has represented Afghanistan in 65 T20 Internationals, boasts a batting average of 21 and a strike rate of 125. On the bowling front, he has secured 26 wickets across 40 innings, demonstrating his capabilities as a versatile all-rounder.
The timing of Marsh's injury was particularly unfortunate for the Delhi Capitals, given the proximity of the T20 World Cup. Naib's recruitment is seen as a critical step to ensure the team remains competitive in the ongoing tournament.
Currently, the Delhi Capitals are positioned 6th on the IPL 2024 points table, having accumulated 8 points from 9 games. The addition of Naib is expected to provide the team with added depth and flexibility, allowing them to adapt their strategy as they push for a better standing in the upcoming matches.
Delhi Capitals have been unable to fix their overseas combinations till now, with Jake Fraser-McGurk the only non-Indian player assured of a place in the lineup currently. Naib's all-round skills will likely be utilized to stabilize the middle order and strengthen the bowling lineup, areas that have posed challenges for the team this season.

DC won by 4 runs and continued to revive their IPL 2024 campaign. They have now won 3 of their last 4 matches.

The Delhi Capitals avoided a major scare on Wednesday as they edged out the Gujarat Titans by 4 runs in a last-ball thriller to complete a double over Shubman Gill's men this season.
Put into bat, Delhi found themselves at 44/3 but that's when Axar Patel and Rishabh Pant got together and stitched a 113-run stand.
The DC skipper then went berserk and smashed an unbeaten 88 that included 30 runs in the last over to power his side to 224/4.
Sai Sudharsan took GT's run chase off to a perfect start and despite Gill falling for 6, Sudharsan smashed a 39-ball-65.
However, Gujarat lost wickets at regular intervals but David Miller kept them in the hunt with a fiery 55. Once he fell, it seemed that the game was done but Rashid Khan and Sai Kishore brought GT back from the dead as the equation boiled down to 11 required off the last 4 balls.
Mukesh Kumar though kept his cool as DC won by 4 runs and continued to revive their IPL 2024 campaign. They have now won 3 of their last 4 matches.

Rishabh Pant's decision to put Gujarat into bat proved right as a super show by DC bowlers meant that GT was bowled out for a mere 88, their lowest total in IPL history.

While Delhi has now won 2 games in a row, Gujarat have lost 4 of their last 5 games.

The Mumbai Indians are finally off the mark. The 5-time champions beat the Delhi Capitals by 29 runs in first match of a super Sunday at the Wankhede Stadium.
Rishabh Pant's decision to put Mumbai into bat backfired as Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan put on an 80-run stand.
While the Hitman slammed a 27-ball-49, Kishan smashed 42 off just 23 balls before both were sent back by Axar Patel.
It was a forgettable comeback for Suryakumar Yadav as he perished for a two-ball duck on his first game since mid-December last year.
Hardik Pandya began well with a couple of powerful hits but Tilak Varma disappointed with just 6. It was Tim David then counter attacked with an unbeaten 21-ball-45.
However, Mumbai&rsquo;s acceleration eventually died down when the skipper was sent back for 39.
But Romario Shepherd clobbered 32 runs off Anrich Nortje's 20th over and powered Mumbai to 234/5, their highest total at the Wankhede.
In reply, Delhi lost David Warner early but Prithvi Shaw looked solid and scored 66.
Abishek Porel too impressed with 41 but both preished in quick succession. Rishabh Pant too went back for just 1 as DC found themselves wanting at 153/4.
Tristan Stubbs kept the run-chase alive with an unbeaten 71 off just 25 balls but no support from the other end meant that DC could manage 205/8.

While Varun Chakravarthy took 3 wickets, Vaibhav Arora also stood out with 3 scalps as Delhi was bowled out for 166

The Kolkata Knight Riders made it a hat-trick of wins in IPL 2024 as they thrashed the Delhi Capitals by 106 runs in Vizag on Wednesday. It's their 2nd-biggest victory in terms of runs in IPL history.
Shreyas Iyer's decision to bat first proved right as KKR smashed 272/7, the second-highest team total in IPL history.
It all began when Sunil Narine did what he does best, rip apart the bowlers in the powerplay. He took it a step further this time and smashed 85 off just 39 balls, his highest score in T20 cricket.
He found a willing ally in Angkrish Raghuvanshi who matched him shot after shot. The 18-year-old had a dream IPL debut as he smashed a 27-ball-54.
It was the Andre Russell show post that as he muscled 41 off just 19 balls to help KKR finish at a mammoth 272/7 in 20 overs. He smashed 3 sixes and completed his 200th maximum for the Knight Riders.
Delhi had a forgettable start to their run-chase as they were reduced to 33/4 in 4.3 overs.
Rishabh Pant and Tristan Stubbs gave DC hope with a half-century each but once they both perished, it was curtains for the hosts.
While Varun Chakravarthy took 3 wickets, Vaibhav Arora also stood out with 3 scalps as Delhi was bowled out for 166.
It's the first time in their IPL history that KKR have won all of their first 3 games of a season. DC on the other hand has lost 3 matches in 4 outings.

A new season but the same old Delhi Capitals. Rishabh Pant's return doesn't seem to be turning Delhi's fortunes around as the Rajasthan Royals beat them by 12 runs on Thursday.
Pant's decision to bowl first proved right to begin with when RR was reduced to 36/3 in 7.2 overs.
That's when Riyan Parag took over and powered his side to 185/5 on a tricky track with a fiery 85.
The 22-year-old took his time early on and scored his first 26 runs off as many deliveries. But once he got set, there was no stopping the 22-year-old as he smashed the next 58 runs off just 19 balls.
Delhi's run-chase began on a strong note before Nandre Burger removed Mitchell Marsh and Ricky Bhui in the same over.
David Warner looked good but was sent back after a well-made 49. Pant continued to struggle and followed him back to the pavilion after a 26-ball-28.
Tristan Stubbs kept the chase alive with an unbeaten 23-ball-44 but Delhi could only reach 173/5.
A 2nd-consecutive win for the Royals meant that DC is still not off the mark on the points table after 2 matches. Interestingly, all 9 matches so far won by the home team this season.

IPL 2024: PBKS vs DC preview - Pant's return takes centrestage | Head-to-head, Team News, Playing XI

A recharged Delhi Capitals will be hinging on a new lease of life with the return of their skipper Rishabh Pant.

The second match of IPL 2024 will be a face-off between two teams that failed to make an impact last season, finishing in eighth and ninth positions - Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals. It will also be the inaugural clash in Punjab's new Mullanpur stadium. A recharged Delhi Capitals will be hinging on a new lease of life with the return of their skipper Rishabh Pant. The 26-year-old marks his comeback after a gap of 15 months following his horrific car crash in December 2022. In Pant's absence, David Warner took charge but nothing seemed to work for the team in 2023 losing 9 of their 14 matches. This year, the team's batting attack will be led by Warner, Marsh and Pant while for bowling DC are likely to turn towards India's spin maestro Kuldeep Yadav alongside a pace battery of Anrich Nortje, Mukesh Kumar, Ishant Sharma and Khaleel Ahmed. While the absence of Harry Brook and Lungi Ngidi does hurt their chances, the arrival of Tristan Stubbs, James Fraser-McGurk and Jhye Richardson should provide them with enough cover. On the other hand, Punjab finished eighth last year, taking home 6 wins in 14 outings. And now, in the 17th edition, their first target will be to reach the playoffs, having not made it to the business end of the tournament since their final appearance in 2014. Seasoned batter and skipper Shikhar Dhawan will lead the charge aided by the likes of Jitesh Sharma, Jonny Bairstow and Liam Livingstone. Whether their big-hitters can fire this time around, only time will tell. Their bowling unit's strength lies with South African wizard Kagiso Rabada and Indian left-arm pacer Arshdeep Singh along with assistance from all-rounders Sam Curran and Sikandar Raza. TEAM NEWS The absence of Harry Brook can be a major blow to Delhi's middle-order plans while without Lungi Ngidi in their side, DC will probable have to turn to Tristan Stubbs and Jhye Richardson as cover.Harshal Patel joins Punjab this year, and his death overs skills can prove handy even as Punjab wrest with the issue of lacking a quality spin attack. WEATHER The match commences at 3:30 PM on March 23 and as per AccuWeather, it is expected to be a hot afternoon with a very light cloud cover. HEAD-TO-HEAD Delhi Capitals and Punjab Kings have faced off a total of 32 times and both have won 16 games each. DC PROBABLE PLAYING XI Prithvi Shaw, David Warner, Mitchell Marsh, Rishabh Pant (C &amp; WK), Tristan Stubbs, Abhishek Porel, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Mukesh Kumar, Anrich Nortje Khaleel Ahmed PBKS PROBABLE PLAYING XI Shikhar Dhawan (c), Jonny Bairstow, Atharva Taide, Liam Livingstone, Jitesh Sharma (wk), Sam Curran, Harshal Patel, Harpreet Brar, Kagiso Rabada, Rahul Chahar, Arshdeep Singh

This year around, Rishabh Pant is back at the helm as he will be returning to competitive cricket with IPL and may also do wicket-keeping duties as he has got the much-required clearance from the NCA.

In a dramatic shift from last year's performance, the Delhi Capitals could be poised for a significant comeback in the upcoming IPL 2024 season, boasted by the return of their captain Rishabh Pant, who will garner all the limelight when the Capitals first step onto the field in IPL 2024. Pant was sidelined for the previous season after a horrific car crash in December 2022. Last year, with David Warner stepping in as captain, expectations were high for the team to secure a playoff berth. However, the Capitals faced challenges, concluding the season with only five victories out of fourteen matches, landing them in the 9th position.
 This season, Rishabh Pant returns to lead the team, marking his comeback to competitive cricket, and possibly resuming his wicket-keeping duties after receiving the necessary clearance from the NCA.
Strengths
Delhi Capitals' strength lies in their seasoned top 4, featuring prominent names like David Warner, Prithvi Shaw, Mitchell Marsh, and Rishabh Pant, who are anticipated to be the main run-scorers for the team. Shaw, looking to rebound from a less-than-ideal previous season, and Warner, who was among the top run-scorers last year, will be expected to get Delhi off to flyers. Mitchell Marsh's previous year's all-round performance and the finishing prowess of Pant further solidify the batting lineup. With Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav, they have two of the best left-arm spinners in the world right now.
Weakness
Delhi Capitals' lower-middle order will be their biggest worry after Harry Brook decided to give IPL 2024 a miss. While Axar Patel can pack a punch with the bat, the uncertainty in their batting order beyond the Top 4 could prove to be their undoing. Jake Fraser McGurk has come as a backup and while Tristan Stubbs could feature at No. 5 or 6, DC once again lack bite in their lower-order.

Delhi Capitals in advanced talks to buy stakes in English county side Hampshire: Report

Indian Premier League franchise Delhi Capitals could be eyeing a foothold in English cricket as it's in "advanced talks" to buy stakes in county side Hampshire, according to a report.

A report in the 'Daily Telegraph' said former Hampshire chairman Rod Bransgrove, who still holds majority share in the club, is close to agreeing a deal to sell the county side to GMR Group, the co-owners of Delhi Capitals.

Indian Premier League franchise Delhi Capitals could be eyeing a foothold in English cricket as it's in "advanced talks" to buy stakes in county side Hampshire, according to a report.
A report in the 'Daily Telegraph' said former Hampshire chairman Rod Bransgrove, who still holds majority share in the club, is close to agreeing a deal to sell the county side to GMR Group, the co-owners of Delhi Capitals.
"Hampshire County Cricket Club&rsquo;s majority shareholder is in advanced talks to sell his stake to the part-owners of Indian Premier League team Delhi Capitals," the report said.
If the deal comes to fruition, it will make Hampshire the first county side "to be owned by an overseas franchise", it said.
The benefits of buying a county side for GMR could include a foothold in the English game, it added.
With The Hundred franchise tournament in England gaining popularity, the deal could give GMR a "first-mover advantage", and also help the IPL franchise "develop its own players".
The development comes amid reports that the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) is exploring opening up 50 per cent stakes in a few Hundred teams, and giving host counties the option to to sell their shares.
Bransgrove, who was in-charge of Hampshire for nearly 23 years, relinquished his post as chairman last year but continues to hold more that 60 per cent of the shares.
The report added that Hampshire is one of the three county clubs, besides Northamptonshire and Durham, which are not member-owned, giving Bransgrove the choice to sell his stakes "without fan input".
Bransgrove is credited with developing the Ageas Bowl, which, for the first time, will host an Ashes Test in 2027.
The country side had a partnership with IPL side Rajasthan Royals between 2010 and 2013, and played T20 cricket as Hampshire Royals.
GMR have a 50 per cent stake in Delhi Capitals in both the IPL and Women's Premier League (WPL). They also own Dubai Capitals in the UAE's ILT20 besides a share in USA's Major League Cricket side Seattle Orcas.
