WPL 2025: Harleen Deol’s Unbeaten 70 Overshadows Meg Lanning’s 92 In GG’s 5-Wicket Win Over DC

Published by Webster

Skipper Meg Lanning’s impactful 92 went in vain as Gujarat Giants defeated table-toppers Delhi Capitals by five wickets to register a hat-trick of wins and book their place in the Eliminator of the Women’s Premier League in Lucknow on Friday. Already through to the playoffs, Delhi Capitals rode on Lanning’s 57-ball 92 laced with 15 boundaries and a six to pile up a competitive 177 for five. But the total was not enough as Gujarat rode on Harleen Deol’s unbeaten 70 off 49 balls and Beth Mooney’s 35-ball 44 to be in contention. Towards the end, skipper Ashleigh Gardner (22 off 13) and Deandra Dottin (24 off 10) helped Gujarat Giants past the target in the 20th over. The Gujarat franchise lost opener Dayalan Hemalatha in the second over, caught by Lanning at extra cover off the bowling of Shikha Pandey before wicket-keeper Mooney (44) and Deol joined hands to stitch 84 runs for the second wicket. Mooney and Deol went about their business in calm fashion and picked up 15 runs from …

Meg Lanning’s DC go top with perfect peformance

There was a nice embrace between Meg Lanning and Shabnim Ismail at the end of the Women’s Premier League (WPL) match in Bengaluru. When Mumbai Indians and Delhi Capitals met earlier in the season, in the battle of retired international superstars it was the South African pacer who looked sharper and dismissed the DC captain with a peach. But on Friday, Lanning stamped her class, taking down Ismail with an array of boundaries, including a stunning on-drive, as DC went on to beat MI in a one-sided contest to go top of the table. “I’ve played a lot against her and she’s a great competitor I love coming up against her. So yeah, it was nice to get a couple away today,” Lanning said after the match. It was just one of the many things that went her way. The ‘win-toss-win-match’ trend continued as MI were asked to bat and never got going, managing just 123/9. The run-chase was then broken open early by Lanning and Shafali Verma – the WPL’s most prolific duo – …

WPL 2025 | UPW vs DC: Meg Lanning’s return to form a positive as Delhi Capitals leave it late to beat UP Warriorz | Cricket News

Published by Webster

It’s been a strange old start to Delhi Capitals’ Women’s Premier League campaign. They huffed and puffed over the line, quite literally when it came to crossing the crease, against Mumbai Indians. They were off colour for large parts against Royal Challengers Bengaluru. And despite playing well for a significant amount of the match against the UP Warriorz on Wednesday in Vadodara, they once again left it uncomfortably late. For a team that was arguably the strongest on paper before the tournament started, the start has been laboured, but having stumbled at the finish line for the first two years, maybe they are – as the cliche goes – looking to peak at the right time. And one of the more favourable signs in that regard was Meg Lanning’s most fluent knock of the tournament yet. With her signature off-side strokes, the captain struck a serene 69 off 49 balls, laced with 10 out of 12 boundaries coming on that side of the wicket, as DC beat UP Warriorz by 7 wickets to register their …

Smriti Mandhana’s RCB or Meg Lanning’s Delhi Capitals – who will win the franchise’s first T20 league title in India? Smriti Mandhana (L) and Meg Lanning were in a light-hearted mood ahead of the WPL final (Photo: Vinayakk M / Express) The second Women’s Premier League final on Sunday will end a long wait, either way. For starters, neither a Delhi franchise nor Royal Challengers Bangalore have won a title in the Indian Premier League. That will change at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, but it also remains a point of trivia as the teams involved in the title clash have very little to do with that history. It is the here and now that both Smriti Mandhana and Meg Lanning chose to focus on. After qualifying for the playoffs, Mandhana came up with a statement that reminded one of David Fincher’s Fight Club. The only goal was to not talk about the goal, she’d say. Before the final, she elaborated: “It was very important for us to not connect anything with the men’s side because …

The idea was to focus on what was happening now and not on the 15 years gone by with the men’s side. So we’re not really correlating anything that’s happened with the men.” …
