Delhi Capitals came heartbreakingly close against Gujarat Giants in WPL 2026. Chasing 175, DC fell short by just 3 runs, losing the match 171–174
While the loss hurt, another issue grabbed attention. Delhi Capitals failed to complete their overs on time, raising concerns beyond the scoreboard
As per WPL rules, responsibility falls on the captain. Jemimah Rodrigues was fined ₹12 lakh for the slow over-rate in the match
In WPL, teams must finish 20 overs within 1 hour 30 minutes. Missing that deadline leads to automatic fines for the captain
If the offence happens again: Second time ₹24 lakh fine ,Third time ₹30 lakh fine + one-match ban - Players also face heavy penalties
The message is clear. Delhi Capitals must be sharper with time management, or costly punishments could follow in the remaining WPL 2026 matches
