WPL 2026: Spinner's Bizarre Triple-Bounce No-Ball Stuns Players
10 Jan
Summary
- A Delhi Capitals spinner bowled a three-bounce no-ball in a WPL match.
- The unusual delivery occurred on the final ball of the 16th over.
- Mumbai Indians scored 195 runs, led by Harmanpreet Kaur's 74 runs.
During the Women's Premier League (WPL) 2026 match between Delhi Capitals and Mumbai Indians in Navi Mumbai on January 10, an extraordinary event unfolded. Delhi Capitals' spinner Sneh Rana bowled a delivery that bounced three times before reaching the wicket-keeper, resulting in an umpire-called no-ball. This unusual incident occurred on the final ball of the sixteenth over, gifting Mumbai Indians a free hit.
The surprising delivery left the batter, Harmanpreet Kaur, and the keeper visibly taken aback. While the rules have evolved to classify such balls as no-balls rather than dead balls, the visual of a triple-bouncing delivery was a first for many. Following the no-ball, Harmanpreet Kaur attempted an aggressive shot on the free hit but was caught by Chinelle Henry, though the team still managed to score a run.
Mumbai Indians had earlier set a formidable target of 195 runs in their allotted 20 overs. This impressive score was largely driven by an outstanding unbeaten knock of 74 runs from their captain, Harmanpreet Kaur, who achieved her score in just 42 balls, punctuated by eight fours and three sixes. Natalie Sciver-Brunt also contributed significantly with 70 runs.
