What's the story

Delhi Capitals bowler Nandani Sharma etched her name in the Women's Premier League (WPL) history books on January 11. The pacer picked up a fifer in Match 4 of the 2025/26 WPL season against Gujarat Giants on Sunday. The match in Navi Mumbai also saw Nandani pick up a hat-trick. Have a look at the DC bowlers with fifers in the WPL.

#1

Tara Norris: 5/29 vs RCB, 2023 

In the inaugural season (2023), Tara Norris became the first-ever player with a WPL five-wicket haul. Norris took one for DC against Royal Challengers Bengaluru in only the second match. Her 5/29 helped the Capitals defend 223 at Brabourne Stadium, Mumbai. The left-arm seamer came in as a fourth-change bowler. She bowled nine dot balls in the match.

#2

Marizanne Kapp: 5/15 vs GG, 2023 

Nearly a week later, South Africa's Marizanne Kapp became the second DC bowler with a fifer in the WPL. Kapp took 5/15 against Gujarat Giants at DY Patil Stadium, Mumbai. This helped DC restrict the Giants to 105/9. DC later completed the run-chase in just 7.1 overs. The 36-year-old also bowled as many as 16 dot balls.

#3

Nandani Sharma: 5/33 vs GG, 2025 

Nandani is the latest entrant on this elite list. Her 5/33 are now the third-best returns for a DC bowler in the WPL. Notably, Nandani also became only the second Indian to record a fifer in the tournament. Overall, she is the seventh player to do so. Nandani also joined Issy Wong, Deepti Sharma, and Grace Harris in terms of taking a WPL hat-trick.
