Meet top 5 bowlers with most wickets in Women's Premier League

<p>India opener Shafali Verma slammed another fifty while Jess Jonassen picked three wickets as Delhi Capitals beat Royal Challengers Bangalore by 25 runs to pick two crucial points in WPL 2024. Delhi won their second match of the season, while it was RCB’s first defeat in the second edition.</p>

<p>At home, RCB won the toss and elected to field first. Captain Meg Lanning and Verma opened the proceedings cautiously. After Lanning’s wicket inside the fifth over, Verma and Alice Capsey added 82 for the second wicket, with Verma completing her successive fifty. Capsey scored 46 off 33 balls, hitting four fours and two sixes.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Jemimah Rodrigues departed on zero, but that didn’t hamper Delhi’s run-rate as the overseas duo of Marizanne Kapp and Jonassen scored 32 and 36, respectively, taking 16 balls each, as Delhi posted a mammoth 194 for five in 20 overs.</p>

<h2>Mandhana on roll but RCB falter</h2>

<p>RCB captain Smriti Mandhana and Sophie Devine added 77 runs for the first wicket, with Smriti being the aggressor of the two. Sabbhineni Meghana and Mandhana kept the run rate going for the home team, with Mandhana completing her fifty.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Keeper-batter Richa Ghosh contributed 19 with the bat, being the last player to get into the double digits.</p>

<p>Delhi made a remarkable comeback in the second half of the innings, crushing RCB’s innings well short of the target.</p>

<p>By the time the last over had come, the game was in Delhi’s pocket. Jonassen bowled a fantastic last over, picking three wickets to guide her team home.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Lauding her teammates, Delhi captain Meg Lanning said, “It was a reasonable wicket, quick outfield and short boundaries, so you come to the ground expecting a high-scoring contest."</p>

<p>"I think we did an excellent job with the bat, kept the momentum going, Shafali, Capsey, Kapp, and JJ kept us ahead, with the left-right combination working,” Meg added.</p>

WPL: Shafali, Jonassen star for Delhi Capitals in 25-run win over Royal Challengers Bangalore

<p>Australia thrashed England by 71 runs in the final of the ICC Women's ODI World Cup 2022 on Sunday (April 03) to win a record seventh World Cup title. The Aussies produced a brilliant all-round display in the summit clash as they completely outclassed England with both the bat and the ball.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Alyssa Headly was the hero of Australia's memorable win with a stunning knock of 170 runs off just 138 balls. Healy got Australia off to a sensational start after they were asked to bat first in the final at the Hagley Oval in Christchurch. She combined with her opener partner Rachael Haynes (68) to add an opening stand of 160 runs before combining with Beth Mooney (62) to post a 156-run stand for the second wicket.</p>

<p>Healy's 170-run knock is the highest individual score by a male or a female batter in a World Cup final. The Aussie opener broke the record held by former Australian wicket-keeper batter Adam Gilchrist, who had slammed 149 runs in the 2007 ODI World Cup final against Sri Lanka.</p>

<p>Healy's 170-run knock powered Australia to a massive total of 356/5 in 50 overs against England in the final. It was a stunning knock from the Aussie opener, which will go down as one of the best in the history of the Women's World Cup. Healy slammed 26 fours during her enthralling innings as England bowlers were taken to the cleaners.</p>

<p>In reply, England were off to a shaky start in the run chase as they lost their opener Danielle Wyatt cheaply on 4 off 5 balls before Tammy Beaumont departed on 27. Captain Heather Knight too couldn't rise to the occasion and was sent packing by Alana King on 26 off 25 deliveries.</p>

<p>Natalie Sciver then took control of England's chase and went to play a fabulous knock of unbeaten 148 off 121 balls. However, she failed to find support from the other end as her century went in vain. England were bundled out for 285 runs inside 43.4 overs as Australia lifted a record seventh Women's World Cup title.</p>

Alyssa Healy's sensational ton helps Australia thrash New Zealand to lift record 7th Women's World Cup trophy

<p>Australia will be without spinner Jess Jonassen for next month's all-format series against India due to injury, while swing bowler Megan Schutt has pulled out due to personal reasons, the country's cricket board said on Wednesday.</p>

<p>Australia's women will play India in three one-day internationals starting on September&nbsp;19 in Sydney, followed by a day-night Test at the WACA at Perth on September 30. The series will end with three Twenty20 internationals starting on October 7.</p>

<p>Jonassen, the top-ranked bowler in the ODI format, has suffered a bone stress injury in her tibia. Cricket Australia also said pace bowler Belinda Vakarewa had asked not to be considered for selection due to personal reasons.</p>

<p>"We're fully supportive of the requests from Belinda and Megan to not be considered for selection and will continue to work with them to ensure they have the appropriate support," said Australia's national selector Shawn Flegler.</p>

<p>"Jess is another big loss and will be disappointed to miss out, but she's another one that's worked hard over the winter and with a long summer ahead, her focus will be to get herself right with a lot of cricket left in the season."</p>
