Jemimah Rodrigues (58 runs off 36) and Alice Capsey (48 runs off 32) starred in batting as they helped Delhi Capitals post 181\/5 in 20 overs. Royal Challengers Bangalore came close to chasing the target, courtesy of Richa Ghosh's late onslaught of 29-ball 51.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Needing 17 runs in the last over, Richa smashed two sixes off Jonassen's bowling to bring the equation down to 2 off 1, but faltered in the end as the home side clinched the last-ball win to secure their place in the playoffs for the second straight season.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Speaking about the gruelling last over, Jonassen stated: \"I internally knew that at the start of the over, if I could set it up without going for a boundary in one of the first two balls, then we were sort of well and truly on the front foot. But, getting hit for a massive six down the ground was not ideal, and then I gave it too much air for her in the second last ball.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The Australian spinner, who whipped the bails off to dismiss Richa, added, \"In the last ball, I targeted on her toes, I think executed well and thankfully it went straight to Shafali, who got it in quick enough. And coming away with the one-run win felt nice after the heartbreaking loss by one run in the previous game.\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The 31-year-old left-arm spinner is currently leading the charts of top wicket-takers in the season so far (10 wickets in five matches) and is holding the Purple Cap.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"Since I've got that Purple Cap on my head, I've been quite ordinary with the ball. Ideally, I'd love to keep taking wickets, but I haven't been as consistent as I was in those first couple of matches that I've played.\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"I'm probably my harshest critic. It's something to be mindful of and keep rectifying. I always want to try and do my best for whatever team I'm a part of,\" she concluded.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Delhi Capitals will square off against Gujarat Giants in their next match at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Wednesday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n", "image": "https:\/\/img.cricketnmore.com\/uploads\/2024\/03\/wpl-2024-i-knew-at-the-start-of-the-over-dc-spinner-jess-jonassen-reflects-on-thrilling-final-over-against-rcb.JPG", "alt_img": "WPL 2024: 'I knew at the start of the over', DC spinner Jess Jonassen reflects on thrilling final ov", "alt_title": "New Delhi: WPL cricket match between Delhi Capitals and Mumbai Indians", "image1": null, "video": null, "seo_title": "WPL 2024: 'I Knew At The Start Of The Over', DC Spinner Jess Jonassen Reflects On Thrilling Final Over Against RCB\u00a0\u00a0 On Cricketnmore", "seo_desc": "WPL 2024: 'I Knew At The Start Of The Over', DC Spinner Jess Jonassen Reflects On Thrilling Final Over Against RCB\u00a0\u00a0, After Delhi Capitals: After Delhi Capitals (DC) thrilling win over Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), Australian spinner Jess Jonassen revealed her.", "seo_keywords": "Jess Jonassen, New Delhi, After Delhi Capitals, Royal Challengers Bangalore, Jemimah Rodrigues, Alice Capsey, Delhi Capitals, Richa Ghosh, The Australian, Purple Cap, Gujarat Giants, Arun Jaitley Stadium", "tag": "", "tagging": "Jess Jonassen, New Delhi, After Delhi Capitals, Royal Challengers Bangalore, Jemimah Rodrigues, Alice Capsey, Delhi Capitals, Richa Ghosh, The Australian, Purple Cap, Gujarat Giants, Arun Jaitley Stadium", "status": "1", "img_rpt": "0", "google": "1", "standout": "0", "edapps": "0", "pulse": "0", "no_index": "0", "feed": "0", "fixture": null, "slug": "wpl-2024-i-knew-at-the-start-of-the-over-dc-spinner-jess-jonassen-reflects-on-thrilling-final-over-against-rcb", "user_id": "0", "read_count": "0", "ians_date": null, "ians_time": null, "server_time": null, "trash": "0", "view_count": "904", "page_break": "0", "instant_articles": "1", "auto_link": "1", "created": "2024-03-11 15:04:03", "updated": "2024-03-11 15:04:03", "img_from": "Image Source: IANS", "img_source": null, "schedule_publish": null, "news_keywords": "Jess Jonassen, New Delhi, After Delhi Capitals, Royal Challengers Bangalore, Jemimah Rodrigues, Alice Capsey, Delhi Capitals, Richa Ghosh, The Australian, Purple Cap, Gujarat Giants, Arun Jaitley Stadium", "livescore_text": null, "livescore_link": null, "btn_text": null, "resend_feed": "1", "google_feed": "1", "read_more": "0", "posted_by": "23", "jio_date": "2024-03-11 15:04:03", "scheduled": "0", "news_now": "1", "breaking_news": "1", "google_date": null, "featured": "0", "pred_match_id": null, "article_content_type": null, "link": "https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/cricket-news\/wpl-2024-i-knew-at-the-start-of-the-over-dc-spinner-jess-jonassen-reflects-on-thrilling-final-over-against-rcb-140113" }
