RCB Women clinch second WPL title after last-over drama against Delhi Capitals
Royal Challengers Bengaluru Women lifted their second Women’s Premier League title after a tense six-wicket win over Delhi Capitals Women in the final. Chasing a challenging target of 204, RCB sealed victory with two balls to spare amid high drama in the last over.
Radha Yadav’s decisive boundary sparked confusion when a bail was dislodged, prompting brief deliberation by the umpires. Once confirmed, celebrations erupted as RCB crossed the line.
Earlier, Smriti Mandhana played a captain’s knock, smashing a commanding 87 of 41 balls that kept RCB in control for most of the chase. Delhi found late hope when Chinelle Henry bowled Mandhana in the death overs, but crucial runs from Radha Yadav and Nadine de Klerk ensured RCB held their nerve to finish champions once again.

ED seeks time to file reply on Jacqueline Fernandez's plea to turn approver in money laundering case
New Delhi (PTI): The Enforcement Directorate on Monday sought time to file its reply on a plea by actor Jacqueline Fernandez seeking to turn approver in a Rs 200 crore money laundering case involving alleged conman Sukesh Chandrashekar.
Special Judge Prashant Sharma posted the matter for further proceedings on May 8.
The court had earlier on April 17 issued notice to the agency after the actor's counsel filed the application.
Fernandez, who was summoned by the ED several times in connection with the investigation, was named as an accused for the first time in a supplementary charge sheet filed by the agency.
On July 3, last year, the Delhi High Court dismissed her petition for quashing the Enforcement Case Information Report (ECIR) in the money laundering case.
Two months later, the Supreme Court refused to interfere with the high court's order.
Delhi Police had booked Chandrasekhar for allegedly duping the spouses of former promoters of Ranbaxy, Shivinder Singh and Malvinder Singh, of Rs 200 crore.
There are other ongoing investigations against him in several cases across the country.
Chandrasekhar and his wife, Leena Paulose, facing proceedings in a money laundering case, were arrested by Delhi Police along with others.
The police invoked the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA) in the case.
Paulose and Chandrasekhar were alleged to have used 'hawala' routes and created shell companies along with other accused persons to park the money earned as proceeds of crime.
