Skipper Jemimah Rodrigues expressed immense satisfaction after Delhi Capitals clinched a seven-wicket victory over UP Warriorz in a tense last-over finish in the Women’s Premier League (WPL) at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai on Wednesday.
Lizelle Lee’s commanding strokeplay, backed by Shafali Verma’s all-round impact, laid the foundation for Delhi Capitals’s first win under captain Jemimah Rodrigues. Laura Wolvaardt’s nerve-wracking finish proved ultimately calming, as she capped off the dramatic final ball of the chase with victory for Delhi.
Rodrigues praised her team’s composure and admitted that she felt special to come out on the right side of a nail-biter. “I’m very happy. I know it was a nail-biting finish, but I’m extremely proud of the way the girls played and kept their cool. These things happen in cricket, but it feels really good to be on the winning side. The chase did go down to the wire, but honestly, the dugout was quite calm throughout,” said Rodrigues.
