🏏WPL 2026: FINAL: DC W vs RCB W at Vadodara on 05/02/26🏏 - Page 5

Almost a stumping! Bizarre passage of play. Banged into the track on off, perhaps as a riposte to Shafali backing away. She swings at it with all her might and misses. She loses her balance thereafter but Ghosh is not swift enough with her action of taking off the bails. Or so it seems. We go upstairs to confirm. The entire protocol to be followed now. No bat involved. But Shafali swung so hard that she was able to plonk her bat behind the crease before the stumps were disturbed.

Shafali not out!! But it is an expensive over -- 20 runs off the over

Shreyanka Patil to Lizelle Lee, SIX, even better! Lizelle Lee is toying with Shreyanka Patil. The bowler bowled this wider. But Lizelle Lee has muscled it. oh my goodness - bring out an airplane to get that back! Lobbed up right into the slot on off stump. Lee bends her back knee and clobbers the living daylights out of this one. An 87m six!

Shreyanka Patil to Lizelle Lee, FOUR, back-to-back boundaries! Tossed up and fuller on the stumps, Lizelle Lee gets down on one leg to sweep it over midwicket. One bounce and into the fence
