Quotes
Jonathan Batty
Head coach of Delhi Capitals
“I am really happy with the batting line-up we have got. It is a fantastic top seven or eight, with Sneh Rana coming in at number eight. That line-up should score heavily through the tournament. We always reassess things, but I am really pleased with that group. Players like Laura Wolvaardt and Jemimah Rodrigues have a lot of quality, and they will click.”

“Nandni has been on our radar for quite some time. She has been to a few trial camps and had a good domestic year. She has been really impressive in training and bowled beautifully in different roles. To finish with figures (2/26) like she did on debut is a really good start to her WPL career.”
