Mumbai Indians (MI) captain Harmanpreet Kaur expressed her happiness at the team’s 50-run win against Delhi Capitals (DC) in the third match of the WPL 2026, which was played at the DY Patil Sports Academy in Navi Mumbai.
Harmanpreet, who was adjudged Player of the Match for her superb knock, shared insights about her mindset going into this game after losing the season opener to Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB).
“Yeah, it was a great game for us. I’m really happy with the way we played today,” the MI skipper said at the post-match presentation. “Obviously, we were very disappointed yesterday, things didn’t go our way. But today we came in with an even stronger mindset so that we could execute our plans better. I got a bit of a start yesterday as well, but before coming out to bat today, I just spoke to myself. I told myself that I got a good start yesterday but unfortunately couldn’t continue. Today was a new day, a new innings, and I wanted to go in with the same mindset, no matter what happened before.”
MI set a target of 196 for DC thanks to Harmanpreet’s 74 off 42 balls and Nat Sciver-Brunt’s 70 off 46 balls. In reply, except for Chinelle Henry’s 56, none of the DC batters could offer any resistance, and the visitors were bundled out for 145.
DC captain Jemimah Rodrigues rued the lack of partnerships in what became their biggest loss in the history of the tournament.
“We were still pretty good with the ball, and the target was definitely chaseable, but with the bat we didn’t manage to build partnerships,” Jemimah said after the match. “That’s something we’ll work on. I think today was just one of those days where the partnerships didn’t click.”
