Wanted to finish the innings and take responsibility: Jemimah Rodrigues

Vadodara, Jan 21(UNI): Skipper Jemimah Rodrigues led from the front with a composed unbeaten half-century to steer JSW and GMR co-owned Delhi Capitals to a seven-wicket win over Mumbai Indians in the Women’s Premier League 2026 at the BCA Stadium, here on Tuesday.
Chasing 155 on a surface that became progressively slower, Delhi Capitals completed the chase in 19 overs after a strong start at the top and a calm finish in the middle. Openers Lizelle Lee and Shafali Verma provided early momentum before Rodrigues anchored the innings with an assured 51 not out off 37 deliveries, with Marizanne Kapp providing late support as DC closed out the contest.
Speaking about the impact of the opening partnership and how it shaped the chase, Delhi Capitals captain Jemimah Rodrigues said, “With Lizelle and Shafali batting together, it is a very destructive opening pair. Bowlers know they have to get everything right or they are going to be punished. On this wicket, the way they batted with the new ball and the powerplay we got was very important. Once the ball got older, it started becoming slower, so the start they gave us made things much easier for the batters coming in.”
