OUT! Chinelle Henry Sparks a game-changing moment Smriti Mandhana (87) won’t be there to take her team over the line—bowled! Chinelle Henry’s electrifying reaction says it all.

Jemi erupts in celebration, arms wide, mouth open, as Delhi finally smells a breakthrough. What a thrilling twist in this game! RCB 194/4 in 19 overs vs DC (203/4) in Vadodara

Live Score WPL 2026 Final: Smriti Mandhana Joins Elite WPL 1000-Run Club
Smriti Mandhana has become the fifth player in WPL history to surpass 1,000 runs, joining the ranks of Nat Sciver-Brunt (1,348), Meg Lanning (1,200), Harmanpreet Kaur (1,193), and Shafali Verma (1,124). On the sidelines, Lizelle Lee chats with Nandni Sharma, who remains disappointed over the last-ball fielding lapse. Meanwhile, Delhi Capitals co-owner Parth Jindal wears a glum, resigned expression as the two DC batters continue their masterclass. With the way they are batting, a win seems inevitable—and they might even finish with an over or two to spare.
