Highlights of DC vs. MI: Jemimah Rodrigues’ fireworks in the first home game put the Capitals atop the table

This is often how you begin to coordinate domestic. The Delhi Capitals toppled their enemy, the Mumbai Indians, in their first matchup at their domestic ground, the Arun Jaitley Stadium, and topped the WPL 2024 Focuses Table. After winning the DC vs. MI coordinate, Meg Lanning’s Capitals are presently on a four-match winning streak and are the only group to win four of their five encounters.

Shafali Verma scored 28 off 12 balls, captain Meg Lanning scored her momentary fifty (53 of 38 balls), and Jess Jonassen took three wickets, but nothing came remotely near to the masterclass by Jemimah Rodrigues. The take-off rocket has begun moderately. At one point, she had scored a fair 13 runs off her to begin with 14 balls.

Like a video diversion, it appeared like she chose to alter modes and went from defensive to assaulting. Having entered the field within the 10th over, it wasn’t until the 16th over that she chose to go wild.

From there on, she scored a bewildering 56 runs in 19 balls., striking at 294.73. She brought up her fifty in 27 balls, which included taking a glittering hit over the head of Nat Sciver-Brunt. But she was far from done. Jemimah, at that point, scored an encouraging 18 runs within the remaining six conveyances to bring the Capitals to 192. Having scored 69 off 33 balls, it appeared just like the player wasn’t done, however. After her enchantment with the bat, Jemimah was electric while handling it as well. Handling at long-on, the stash rocket claimed an exceptional diving catch while lunging forward to dismiss Amelia Kerr and suppress any chances of a comeback from the Mumbai Indians.
