Shikha Pandey picks 2 wickets in 2 balls in GG vs DC WPL 2025 clash [Watch]

Shikha Pandey starred with the ball for the Delhi Capitals in the Women's Premier League (WPL) 2025 match against Gujarat Giants (GG) at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium on Tuesday, February 25. The medium pacer first took the prized scalp of Beth Mooney before dismissing Kashvee Gautam for a golden duck.

The dismissals came in the fifth over of Gujarat's innings. After getting smacked for a boundary off the first delivery, Pandey came around the wicket to bowl a good length ball on the pads. Mooney went for another boundary but picked up Niki Prasad at long leg, perishing for 10 runs off 11 balls.

Pandey followed that up with a sharp bouncer and Gautam went for a pull shot but ended up getting a thick top edge towards mid-wicket, where Prasad completed a stunning catch. She kept her eyes on the ball before diving forward to pouch it.

DC, on the other hand, kicked off their WPL 2025 campaign with a two-wicket win over MI. The Meg Lanning-led side lost to RCB by eight wickets in their second contest.
