BCA Stadium in Vadodara was set for a fiery rematch of WPL 2024's final as Meg Lanning and the girls took the field, ready to keep our winning streak alive. The excitement was electric and we were all hoping for another memorable night.

The squad received a big boost as two of our most dependable players returned to the XI after missing the first match. With our core strengthened, we were confident of putting up a strong fight.

However, our start didn’t go as planned. Shafali departed in the very first over, leaving us with an early setback. But this is Delhi Capitals—we don’t back down. Our captain Meg Lanning and the ever-reliable Jemimah Rodrigues took charge, stabilizing the innings and setting the stage for what promised to be a big total.

Jemimah was in her element, counter-attacking with flair and precision. Her quickfire 34 runs had us all buzzing before she fell against the run of play.

Just when we thought we were getting into rhythm, a few wickets tumbled. Enter Sarah Bryce. Cool, composed, and calculated, she played a crucial knock.

Her resilience gave us the late push we needed, and we finished with a respectable total.

Unfortunately, the second innings didn’t unfold as we had hoped. The opposition came in strong, and despite our efforts, we couldn’t turn the game around. A tough night for the team, as we suffered our first loss of the season by nine wickets.
