The 7th match of the Women\u2019s Premier League (WPL) 2026<\/strong><\/a> at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai delivered a moment of pure athletic magic on January 14. As the Delhi Capitals (DC) Women<\/strong> looked to cruise toward a target of 155 against the UP Warriorz (UPW)<\/strong>, the game paused for a collective gasp when Deepti Sharma<\/strong> pulled off stunner to dismiss the dangerous Shafali Verma<\/strong>.<\/p>\n In the 12th over of the second innings, the Delhi Capitals were firmly in control, sitting at 94\/0. Shafali Verma<\/strong>, who had played a composed knock of 36 off 32 balls (including six boundaries), looked to accelerate and wrap the game up early. However, the introduction of Asha Sobhana<\/strong> provided the breakthrough the Warriorz desperately needed.<\/p>\n On the third delivery of the 11.3 over, Asha tossed up a very slow delivery on a length outside the off-stump. Shafali, attempting to manipulate the field, shaped up for a reverse sweep. It was a tactical error; there was no pace on the ball to work with. The ball took a thick top edge, looping toward the short third region.<\/p>\n While the ball hung in the air, Deepti displayed elite anticipation. Moving swiftly to her left, she tracked the trajectory before launching into a full-length diving lunge forward. She managed to get both hands under the ball just inches from the turf, completing a spectacular grab. The dismissal momentarily halted the DC juggernaut and gave the Warriorz a flicker of hope in a high-stakes encounter.<\/p>\n Diving Deepti \ud83e\udef4\ud83d\udc4c<\/p>\n A fine catch by Deepti Sharma to get @UPWarriorz<\/a> the breakthrough \ud83d\udd1d<\/p>\n Updates \u25b6\ufe0f https:\/\/t.co\/4vXszSpE1g<\/a> #TATAWPL<\/a> | #KhelEmotionKa<\/a> | #UPWvDC<\/a> | @Deepti_Sharma06<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/bmqtP3V4xy<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Women’s Premier League (WPL) (@wplt20) January 14, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Also\u00a0WATCH: Sneh Rana\u2019s pumped-up celebration after removing Phoebe Litchfield in WPL 2026<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Despite the brilliance of Deepti catch, Delhi Capitals Women completed a commanding seven-wicket victory, never allowing the contest to drift away from them. Chasing a target of 155, the Capitals were set on course by a dominant knock from Lizelle Lee<\/strong>, who smashed 67 off 44 deliveries, laced with eight fours and three towering sixes, ensuring the chase remained firmly under control.<\/p>\n Earlier, UP Warriorz Women struggled to build sustained momentum after losing Kiran Navgire<\/strong> for a duck in the opening over. Captain Meg Lanning<\/strong><\/a> led from the front with a resolute 54 off 38 balls, while Harleen Deol<\/strong> provided valuable support with a composed 47 in the middle order. Despite those efforts, regular wickets curtailed any late acceleration, and the Warriorz were restricted to 154 for 8. Marizanne Kapp<\/strong> and Shafali Verma<\/strong> spearheaded the Capitals\u2019 bowling attack with two wickets each.<\/p>\n By the time the chase entered its final stages, the outcome was all but sealed. Delhi reached 114 for 2 by the 14.4-over mark and comfortably knocked off the remaining runs with wickets in hand. While Deepti\u2019s athletic effort stood out as a moment of individual brilliance, the night ultimately belonged to the Delhi Capitals, whose clinical batting display sealed a dominant win at Navi Mumbai.<\/p>\n Also READ:\u00a0WPL 2026: Fans erupt after Harmanpreet Kaur and Nicola Carey script historic chase as Mumbai Indians extend flawless 8-0 run vs Gujarat Giants<\/a><\/strong> <\/p>\n This article was first published at WomenCricket.com<\/a>, a Cricket Times<\/a> company.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\nDeepti Sharma takes a sensational diving catch to remove Shafali Verma<\/strong><\/h2>\n
