WPL 2025: DC’s Shafali Verma relieved to score first half-century of campaign in win against RCB

The Hindu  

India international and Delhi Capitals opener Shafali Verma was relieved that she finally notched up her first half-century of the ongoing Women’s Premier League season, which came during DC’s nine-wicket win over Royal Challengers Bengaluru at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium on Saturday. Similar to DC’s win against Gujarat Giants earlier this week, Shafali stitched up a match-winning partnership with Jess Jonassen, who came in at No. While Jonassen came good with the bat once again for the Capitals, Lanning’s form in this WPL has been hot and cold. With this win against the defending champion, the Capitals confirmed its qualification to the playoffs and now has almost a week’s gap before playing its final league stage match when it faces Gujarat Giants in Lucknow.
