Mumbai | After finishing runners-up to Mumbai Indians by seven wickets in the Women’s Premier League (WPL) final, Delhi Capitals pacer all-rounder Shikha Pandey believes the team has the potential to win many more titles in future seasons of the tournament. Shikha was quoted as saying in a release by the franchise on Monday, “All the conversation in the DC camp has been around being the best team player. The team which has the most team players usually wins. It worked for us this time.” But I am sure we will have many more titles. We will try harder next season.”

In the final played at the Brabourne Stadium, Delhi were in deep trouble at 79/9, but then Shikha and Radha Yadav were unbeaten on 27 as the duo stitched together a fine 52-run stand for the last wicket to take the side by storm.

It was great to win the inaugural season of the WPL. I can assure everyone that we tried our best. He also encouraged me to play my shots.

Shikha also talked about what captain Meg Lanning told the team before defending 132, which Mumbai chased down with three balls to spare. He told us to enjoy the game and bowl at our best. He also said that we play cricket for these challenging moments.

I thought when we had to defend 21 runs in the last two overs, we could do it. But Amelia Kerr played some good shots and Nat Sciver-Brunt also played a very good innings.

He summed up his experience of being a part of the WPL for the first time, “It was a good tournament for me. The last year and a half has been challenging for me. Working with a great support staff and playing with legends has been wonderful. And DC will always have a special place in my heart.”
