Delhi smash women’s domestic T20 record with 262 for 6
The Story in Brief
Delhi posted 262 for 6 against Hyderabad in the Senior Women's T20 Trophy at the MCA Ground in Pune on Thursday (29 October), the highest total in women's domestic T20 cricket, surpassing Goa's 257 for 2 set in 2019-20. It is the 11th-highest score in women's T20 cricket overall, with the top ten all coming from internationals.
Opener Tanisha Singh, unsold at the WPL auction with a base price of Rs 10 lakh a day earlier, scored 119 off 47 balls including a 38-ball century, the joint third-fastest in women's T20 history alongside Deandra Dottin. Priya Punia added 59 off 28 as the pair put on 160 runs for the second wicket in 66 balls. Shweta Sehrawat hit 26 off eight balls. Hyderabad were bowled out for 154 for 8, with Sumiti Soni taking 3 for 28, handing Delhi a 108-run win. The Senior Women's T20 Trophy runs from 26 October to 20 November.
Update, 29 October 2026: NDTV now also reports the story, confirming Delhi's 262 for 6 as the highest domestic women's T20 total and Tanisha Singh's 119 off 47. It does not mention Singh going unsold at the WPL auction, which Times Now and India Today had highlighted. The match date, venue and 108-run win remain unchanged.
Indian Opinion Analysis
All three outlets reported the record total and Tanisha Singh's 119 identically, with uniform neutral-report framing. Times Now and India Today both highlighted that Singh had gone unsold at the WPL auction a day earlier, adding a comeback narrative, NDTV's shorter version omitted the auction mention entirely. The balanced reading is that the story carries no editorial divide: the only difference is the depth of context each outlet chose to include, not a disagreement on facts or framing. The next point to watch is whether Singh attracts a WPL replacement call-up during the tournament, which ends 20 November.
