After Delhi Capitals: After Delhi Capitals (DC) pulled off an exciting one-run win over the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Sunday to progress into WPL 2024 knockouts, batter Jemimah Rodrigues said Richa Ghosh will benefit from the close result and that she should see this as a learning, not a failure.

With RCB needing 89 runs from the last eight overs, Richa smashed 51 runs off 29 balls, smacking four fours and three sixes in her second fifty of WPL 2024. When two runs were needed, Richa was run out on the last ball of the chase and was left in tears, as the visitors’ lost by one run, coming so close, yet so far from a win.

After Richa was left incredibly devastated over not being able to take her team over the line, Jemimah was one of the first people to console her, followed by Meg Lanning, Jess Jonassen, Marizanne Kapp, Shikha Pandey and Shafali Verma coming in. From the other end, Shreyanka Patil was also inconsolable after picking 4/26 with her off-spin bowling.
