Delhi Capitals (DC) spinner Minnu Mani praised the team’s discipline and growing confidence after their strong seven-wicket win over Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in the ongoing Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2026 at the Kotambi Stadium on January 24.
In a media release, Mani reflected on her own improvement and said, “In the earlier games, my execution was not where I wanted it to be, even though the effort was there. I kept working on it in training and trusted what the coaches were telling me. Today, things clicked better at a crucial moment, and I am really happy that I could contribute when the team needed it.” Mani picked up two crucial wickets and conceded 18 runs in three overs, which restricted RCB to a low total.
RCB suffered a batting collapse and managed to post only 109 runs, with contributions from captain Smriti Mandhana (38) and Radha Yadav (18). Along with Minnu Mani’s two wickets, Marizanne Kapp and Chinelle Henry also bagged two wickets each, while Nandni Sharma picked up three. N Shree Charani also chipped in with one scalp. The target was comfortably chased by DC in just 15.4 overs, with brilliant efforts from Laura Wolvaardt (42*) and captain Jemimah Rodrigues (24).
Talking about the confidence the team is building after two consecutive wins, Mani said, “Winning back-to-back matches definitely gives you confidence, but more importantly, it shows that we are learning as a group. Even when we were under pressure in different phases of the game, we stayed calm and trusted our process. That is something we want to carry forward.”
DC are now in the second spot in points table with six points in six games and now, they will next face Gujarat Giants on January 27 in Vadodara.
