This marked Nandani as the second Indian bowler to take a hat-trick in the WPL, following in the footsteps of Deepti Sharma. There have been a total of three WPL hattricks before Nandani’s feat, with Issy Wong of England and Grace Harris of Australia also having achieved three wickets in three balls.
Nandani Sharma represents Chandigarh on the domestic circuit, having captained her state side and also represented North Zone. The 24-year-old seamer was bought at the auction for INR 20 lakh by DC, and made her debut against Mumbai Indians in the first match of this season.
Despite Nandani's five-fer, the damage was done with GG reaching 210 in the first innings. In response, Delhi seemed to be struggled behind the rate for the majority of their chase, but kept wickets in hand as Lizelle Lee and Laura Wolvaardt exploded after getting set.
