The 10th match of the ongoing Women’s Premier League (WPL) was played yesterday, Sunday, March 3, between Gujarat Giants and Delhi Capitals. Let us tell you that in this match, great performance was seen from both the teams, but in the end Delhi performed brilliantly and won the match by 25 runs.

The first concussion substitute in Women’s Premier League history was also seen in this match. Sayali Satghare of Gujarat has become the first cricketer to become a concussion substitute in the match. He replaced Dayalan Hemalatha in the match.

It is noteworthy that in the match, during the 15th over of Delhi Capitals’ innings, Hemlata got injured while taking a catch towards deep mid-wicket, the ball hit her forehead. The impact of the ball was so severe that he had to leave the field. So after this, Sayali Satghare came on the field in place of Hemlata as a concussion substitute.

Gujarat had bought Sayali at a huge price

It is noteworthy that when the auction was held last year for the Women’s Premier League 2024, Gujarat paid a huge amount of Rs 2 crore to include Sayali Satghare in their team. However, in the match against Delhi Capitals, she could score only 7 runs in 7 balls.

On the other hand, if we tell you the condition of this match between Gujarat and Delhi, Delhi, after losing the toss and batting first, scored 153 runs at the loss of 8 wickets in 20 overs on the basis of the brilliant innings of Meg Lanning (55).

So when Gujarat set out to chase the target of 164 runs given by Delhi, it could score only 138 runs and lost the match by 25 runs. In the match, Jess Jonassen (4/22) was awarded the Player of the Match award for his excellent bowling.
