DC in 8 overs

Sneh Rana to bowl her first. FOUR! Too short, on middle stump to Jonnasen, and she pulls it with ease over square leg. In the slot and that’s another FOUR in the same area! With that, a crucial 50-run stand has been crossed. 

DC 50/1 in 7 overs

Georgia Wareham with the ball. Jonassen’s shot just beats Smriti at short mid wicket for a single. A run-out attempt! Shafali jogged back but was saved by the poor throw to the bowler’s end. Saved on the boundary line by Perry! But gets a FOUR on the next one, four byes nevertheless. 

DC 41/1 in 6 overs

Ellyse Perry into the attack. FOUR! Just going down leg and Shafali guides it back, past short fine leg. FOUR more! Jonnasen pulls its plenty past a running deep square leg fielder who nudges it back into the cushions. 

DC 31/1 in 5 overs

Back-to-back FOURs again! Shafali in her aggressor mode. Swings and takes it over mid off and whips the next one over square leg. Looked to go down but sliced it extra cover for two runs. DC seems to have found some footing in this chase. Renuka goes for 11 runs. 

DC 20/1 in 4 overs

Garth to Shafali. Starts with back-to-back wides. Lucky FOUR! Takes the top-edge and lands at an empty deep backward square leg fence. FOUR more! Shafali steers it between backward point and short third. Another FOUR and this time it is Jonassen! Shorter and thumped behind square!

DC 5/1 in 3 overs

Ranuka continues. Another shout for appeal and this time, RCB reviews it. Umpire’s call stands and Lanning survives. OUT! What a magnificent catch at mid-off by Perry! Times her jump to perfection and completes a sharp one.

Match 14 of the ongoing Women's Premier League 2025 will witness Royal Challengers Bengaluru Women's (RCB-W) taking on Delhi Capitals Women (DEL-W). The match will be the last game of the Bengaluru leg before the action shifts to Lucknow. The two sides will contest at the Chinnaswamy Stadium on Saturday, March 01. The last time these two sides faced each other was in Match No.4 at the Kotambi Stadium in Vadodara, which the Smriti Mandhana-led side won by eight wickets.

After three consecutive losses, including a heartbreaking defeat to the Gujarat Giants, RCB’s playoff hopes are on the line. Captain Smriti Mandhana's form has been a concern, and the team will need to find the answers, especially with their batting heavily dependent on Ellyse Perry. The absence of spinners Asha Sobhana, Sophie Molineux, and Shreyanka Patil has put the defending champions on the backfoot. The Bengaluru-based franchise currently holds the third spot in the standings after winning two out of their five games.

On the other hand, DC enters this match after a dominant victory over Mumbai Indians. Sitting at the top of the table with four wins from six games, their bowling and fielding have been exceptional, keeping opponents to low totals. The side will be looking to seal another victory before they fly to Lucknow for the third leg of the competition. 

A shouting match in the Oval Office, broadcast worldwide, with US President Donald Trump appears to have not deterred Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky. Mr Zelensky, whose joint news conference and signing ceremony for a deal on rare minerals was cancelled with US officials telling Ukrainians to leave, today underscored that it is "crucial for us to have President Trump's support". 

"We want peace. That's why I came to the United States, and visited President Trump. The deal on minerals is just a first step toward security guarantees and getting closer to peace. Our situation is tough, but we can't just stop fighting and not having guarantees that Putin will not return tomorrow," Mr Zelensky posted on X.

Moments after his heated exchange with the Ukrainian leader, Mr Trump had said in a social media post that Mr Zelensky can come back "when he is ready for peace". Mr Trump also accused the Ukrainian leader of having "disrespected the United States of America in its cherished Oval Office".

"I have determined that President Zelensky is not ready for Peace if America is involved, because he feels our involvement gives him a big advantage in negotiations. He disrespected the United States of America in its cherished Oval Office. He can come back when he is ready for Peace," Mr Trump posted on Truth Social.  

Mr Zelensky thanked dozens of allies on social media on Saturday, a day after Mr Trump and Vice President JD Vance accused him of not being sufficiently grateful.

He on X wrote the words "Thank you for your support" in individual replies to around 30 messages of support from European leaders after his much publicised clash with the new US administration in the White House.

Despite the confrontation, Zelensky earlier thanked Mr Trump, the US Congress and the American people for their support and for his visit. Today again, he reiterated that in a separate post. 

"We are very grateful to the United States for all the support. I'm thankful to President Trump, Congress for their bipartisan support, and American people. Ukrainians have always appreciated this support, especially during these three years of full-scale invasion. America's help has been vital in helping us survive, and I want to acknowledge that. Despite the tough dialogue, we remain strategic partners. But we need to be honest and direct with each other to truly understand our shared goals," Mr Zelensky wrote on X.

"It's crucial for us to have President Trump's support. He wants to end the war, but no one wants peace more than we do. We are the ones living this war in Ukraine. It's a fight for our freedom, for our very survival," he said.

Mr Zelensky, quoting President Ronald Reagan's "Peace is not just the absence of war", stressed that Ukraine is talking about just and lasting peace. He further said that a ceasefire won't work with Putin, as he has "broken ceasefires 25 times over the last ten years". 

As a first step towards peace, Mr Zelensky, despite the bitter Oval Office memory, said he is ready to sign the minerals deal and that Ukrainian people "need to know that America is on our side".

"We are ready to sign the minerals agreement, and it will be the first step toward security guarantees. But it's not enough, and we need more than just that. A ceasefire without security guarantees is dangerous for Ukraine. We've been fighting for 3 years, and Ukrainian people need to know that America is on our side," said Mr Zelensky.

Mr Zelensky maintained that "Russia is the enemy" and that Ukraine needs to be strong at the negotiation table.  

"I cannot change Ukraine's position on Russia. The Russians are killing us. Russia is the enemy, and that's the reality we face. Ukraine wants peace, but it must be a just and lasting peace. For that, we need to be strong at the negotiation table. Peace can only come when we know we have security guarantees, when our army is strong, and our partners are with us," he said.

Day after Friday’s blowup between Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the Oval Office, Russia’s foreign ministry termed Ukrainian President’s visit to Washington DC a “complete diplomatic failure of Kyiv”.

“The visit … to Washington on February 28 is a complete political and diplomatic failure by the Kyiv regime,” Kremlin Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said in a written statement published on Saturday on the ministry’s website.

Zakharova further added that the Ukrainian president is “obsessed” with prolonging the war and adds that Moscow’s goals remain “demilitarisation” of Ukraine and annexation of all territories currently occupied by Russia.

“With his outrageously rude behaviour during his stay in Washington, Zelenskyy confirmed that he is the most dangerous threat to the world community as an irresponsible instigator of a major war,” Zakharova claimed.

“The sooner Kyiv and certain European capitals realise this, the closer a peaceful resolution of the Ukrainian crisis will be.”
