NAVI MUMBAI: Nandini Sharma’s maiden hat-trick went in vain as Sophie Devine starred with a breathtaking 95 and a superb final over under pressure to steer Gujarat Giants to a thrilling four-run win off the last ball over Delhi Capitals in a Women’s Premier League match on Sunday.This was Gujarat Giants’ second win on the trot, while DC slipped to their second loss.
Sent in to bat, Giants opener Devine smashed seven fours and eight sixes in her 42-ball knock, adding 94 runs for the opening wicket with Beth Mooney (19) to set the platform.Skipper Ashleigh Gardner kept the momentum going with a brisk 49 off 26 balls, but Nandini turned the tide with remarkable figures of 5 for 33, including a hat-trick, as Gujarat were bowled out for 209.Chasing a stiff target, opener Lizelle Lee struck a scintillating 86 off 54 balls, studded with 12 fours and three sixes. She put on 41 runs with Shafali Verma (14) before adding 90 off 55 balls with Laura Wolvaardt (77 off 38) to keep Delhi firmly in the hunt.Once Lee was dismissed by Kashvee Gautam (1/48) in the 15th over, Rajeshwari Gayakwad removed Chinelle Henry (7) to leave Delhi at 146 for three.Needing 64 off the last 25 balls, skipper Jemimah Rodrigues (15) joined Wolvaardt as the pair plundered 58 runs in 23 balls to bring the equation down to seven off the final five deliveries.Devine then returned to the spotlight, dismissing both batters and conceding just two runs in the final over to seal a dramatic win.Earlier, Devine set the tone early, striking three fours off Chinelle Henry before taking Nandini apart with two fours and a six in the fourth over. She was particularly severe on Sneh Rana, hammering two fours and four successive sixes in an over that yielded 32 runs and powered Gujarat Giants to 80 without loss in the powerplay.The New Zealander brought up her half-century in just 25 balls before Shree Charani broke the opening stand with a sharp caught-and-bowled effort in the ninth over to remove Mooney. Devine briefly regained control, hitting Charani for three sixes, but fell in the 11th over bowled by Nandini Sharma.Skipper Ashleigh Gardner kept Gujarat Giants on course with a brisk 49 off 26 balls, smashing four boundaries and three sixes to take the side past the 200-mark.Jemimah Rodrigues pulled off a fine catch to dismiss Georgia Wareham (3), while Henry removed Gardner and Bharti Fulmali (3).Nandini then capped a memorable outing by picking up four wickets in the final over, including three off the last three balls, to complete her maiden hat-trick.

The Women’s Premier League 2026 witnessed a breathtaking moment as Nandini Sharma, the young fast bowler from Delhi Capitals Women, produced a sensational hat-trick against Gujarat Giants Women. The historic feat came during the 20th over of the first innings at the Dr DY Patil Sports Academy in Navi Mumbai, leaving players, fans, and experts in awe.
In a dramatic final over, Nandini removed Kanika Ahuja, Rajeshwari Gayakwad, and Renuka Singh on three consecutive deliveries, turning what was already a high-scoring innings into a memorable chapter in WPL history. Her spell not only underlined Delhi Capitals’ bowling depth but also etched her name into the tournament’s record books.
Bowling the final over under pressure, Nandini showed remarkable composure. Gujarat Giants were pushing hard to cross the 210 mark when the young pacer struck gold. She first dismissed Kanika with a well-directed delivery that breached the defence, before outsmarting Rajeshwari on the very next ball. With the crowd already buzzing, Nandini completed her hat-trick by removing Renuka, triggering wild celebrations in the Delhi Capitals camp.
This achievement marked the fourth hat-trick in the history of the WPL, placing Nandini in elite company. At just 24 years of age, the Chandigarh-born pacer also became the second Indian to take a hat-trick in the league and the first uncapped player to claim a five-wicket haul in WPL history.

Sophie Devine was the standout performer, smashing a brilliant 95, narrowly missing out on a century.

BENGALURU: Background verification firms and corporate forensic teams are flagging cases of location spoofing, particularly among hybrid employees and gig workers. In several instances, employees have been pulled up after allegedly misrepresenting their actual work location, with such discrepancies surfacing during random audits, compliance checks, or client reviews. Investigations found that some used travel routers or similar devices to make it appear they were working from their designated base locations while actually operating from elsewhere.An employee at an MNC firm was terminated after being flagged for location spoofing while working remotely, according to a post shared on the social media platform Reddit. The individual said he was with the company for a couple of years and travelled to his home country in South Asia last month due to a family emergency. To avoid drawing attention, the employee said they used a travel router configured with a cloud-based server to make it appear as though they were working from the US. According to the Reddit post, the employee was subsequently interviewed by an internal investigator and was terminated for violating the company’s business conduct guidelines by masking his actual work location. Amit Rahane, partner at EY’s Forensic and Integrity Services, said location spoofing is no longer theoretical. “Companies are detecting such cases through compliance audits, security reviews, and client checks rather than active surveillance. Many employees underestimate how much data is captured. Several controls were introduced during Covid to monitor moonlighting—such as IP tracking and login analytics—and these systems remain in place. As a result, location inconsistencies are often detected even without targeted monitoring,” he said.Ashok Hariharan, cofounder and CEO of identity verification platform Idfy, said companies want to verify whether a gig worker went to a specific location—for instance, whether a delivery was genuinely attempted at a customer’s residence. “Second, there are cases where a gig worker hands over their phone to another person. To prevent this, companies rely on face-matching tools alongside location data. Third, some apps are used to mask delivery attempts. In such cases, a phone may remain stationary while the app falsely indicates that the worker travelled and attempted the delivery. Since gig workers are sometimes paid even for attempted deliveries, this creates a potential fraud risk.” Hariharan said location spoofing can be identified by combining IP and VPN intelligence with GPS-based checks. “Monitoring these geographic and temporal signals enables authorities to anticipate where financial crime is likely to emerge next and intervene proactively. The same approach, correlating IP/VPN detection with GPS validation, can also be applied to identify location spoofing across a wide range of other use cases.”Idfy’s Hariharan said the process also involves validating GPS and sensor data, detecting rogue apps manipulating location, identifying VPN usage through latency and traffic patterns, and using device biometrics and behavioural signals, much of which is data science-driven.Rahane said most companies avoid active surveillance due to privacy concerns, with detection typically occurring through security audits, compliance checks, or client reviews. Forensic teams analyse controls such as geo-fencing, two-factor authentication, attendance logs, IP geolocation, Wi-Fi SSIDs, frequent location jumps, and unusual login times during routine audits. “VPN tools have become more sophisticated, but corporate systems still capture patterns beyond just IP masking, login behaviour, device fingerprints, and usage anomalies can still expose spoofing. It’s not as foolproof as employees assume,” he added.
Indian equity markets are set for an event-heavy week ahead, with investors closely tracking the onset of the December quarter earnings season, key domestic and global inflation data, and developments on the global macro and geopolitical front, analysts said, PTI reported.Quarterly results from several heavyweight companies across information technology, banking, financial services and energy sectors, including TCS and Infosys, are expected to provide the first major cues on corporate performance for the October–December period.“This week marks the start of the earnings season alongside a busy macroeconomic calendar. Investors will closely track India’s CPI inflation, WPI inflation,” Ajit Mishra, SVP – Research at Religare Broking Ltd, said, adding that results from major companies will be critical for near-term market direction.Global developments are also likely to remain firmly on investors’ radar. Mishra said markets would keenly watch the US Supreme Court verdict on the legality of Trump-era tariffs, which could emerge as a key sentiment driver, along with ongoing geopolitical developments.Currency movement and crude oil prices are expected to be other important variables during the week, analysts noted, given their influence on foreign fund flows and inflation expectations.“On the domestic front, the market is also entering the Q3 corporate earnings season, which will be a key near-term trigger for index direction and sectoral moves,” said Pravesh Gour, Senior Technical Analyst at Swastika Investmart Ltd.He said several heavyweight companies across indices are scheduled to announce results this week, including TCS, HCL Tech, Infosys, Jio Financial Services, Reliance Industries and Tech Mahindra.“Earnings commentary and management guidance from these leaders will play a crucial role in shaping market sentiment,” Gour added.The domestic equity market ended the previous week on a bearish note, weighed down by renewed US tariff threats, geopolitical tensions and persistent foreign fund outflows. The BSE benchmark Sensex declined 2,185.77 points, or 2.54 per cent, during the week, while the NSE Nifty slipped 645.25 points, or 2.45 per cent.Ponmudi R, CEO of Enrich Money, said investors would closely track a host of inflation and macroeconomic data releases scheduled during the week.“India’s December CPI, WPI food and manufacturing inflation data, along with the US core CPI, retail sales and home sales numbers, will be released throughout the week. These data points will influence expectations around the pace and timing of monetary policy easing by major central banks,” he said.Such expectations, he added, have implications for global capital flows, currency movements and emerging market sentiment.Vikram Kasat, Head – Advisory at PL Capital, said Q3 earnings will take centre stage, particularly for IT stocks, as major players begin announcing results.“Any commentary from the US on trade policy and deal negotiations will also be keenly watched,” Kasat said.
