- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR10.4 Sciver-Brunt breaks through! Full and hung well outside off. Lanning's eyes light up and she throws the kitchen sink at it. Loses control of the stroke, though, because of how far she has to reach out and she slices it straight to backward point. Massive, massive moment in the game! 67/22.1 middle stump has been flattened! Length delivery angled into middle and off. Nips back a smidgen off the seam too, Shafali clears her front leg and has a wild mow across the line. Gets nowhere close to it and loses her middle stump soon after. The pressure tells, and the defending champions have landed the first blow tonight! 3/117.1 that is dead straight, and the finger goes up! Length on middle and off stump. Holds in the surface a shade and straightens. Capsey tries the reverse and plays all over it, getting pinged on the front pad in front of middle. Capsey has a chat with Rodrigues and decides to go upstairs. This could be a wasted review but given how well Capsey was batting, perhaps worth it. No bat involved, unsurprisingly. And Ball Tracking has the ball hitting middle and leg stump, one-third of the way up! A superb innings comes to an end, and it has set the game up beautifully for the Capitals! 141/318.3 Rodrigues falls! Hard length on off stump. Rodrigues moves across her stumps, trying to access the area behind square on the leg side. Gets a bit of the glove and the ball flies through to Yastika,who flings out her left palm and catches it clean. Excellent catch, and a vital wicket, even at this late stage! 155/419.6 a wicket to end the innings! Fizzed through on a length just outside leg. Kapp looks to access the off side but is beaten as the ball skids off the surface. Loses her balance too and comes out of her crease. Yastika collects cleanly and then whips off the bails to effect the stumping! 171/5Extras5 (lb 2, nb 1, w 2)TOTAL171/5 (20 Overs, RR: 8.55)Fall of wickets: 1-3 (Shafali Verma, 2.1 ov), 2-67 (Meg Lanning, 10.4 ov), 3-141 (Alice Capsey, 17.1 ov), 4-155 (Jemimah Rodrigues, 18.3 ov), 5-171 (Marizanne Kapp, 19.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.2 edged and gone! Kapp with the early breakthrough! Proper tempter outside off. Full and moving away. Matthews is drawn into the drive away from her body and all she manages is a feather through to the keeper. Just what the Capitals would have wanted; just what MI did not need! 0/113.2 holes out to deep mid wicket! Shortish outside off and Yastika's eyes light up. She looks to smash it over deep mid wicket but does not get the requisite elevation this time. Arrows it straight to Kapp, who balances herself on the fence and does the rest! 106/36.1 Arundhati Reddy cleans up Sciver-Brunt! Sizzling yorker that boomerangs into leg stump. Sciver-Brunt goes for her trademark NatMeg but misses the ball completely. Goes between her legs and crashes into leg stump. What a moment in the game! 50/219.5 goes a mile up, and taken at long on! Oh my word, what an enormous moment in the game! Fired in full on middle and leg. Harmanpreet, sitting deep in her crease, has a mighty mow at it. Gets lots of elevation but not enough distance. Sutherland comes rushing in from long on and pouches it safely. A valiant effort by the MI skipper but someone else will have to take them past the finish line! 167/617.6 knocks her over, and Shikha Pandey is pumped! Yorker honing in on middle and leg stump. Kerr advances, trying to go inside out. Misses the ball completely, though, and the ball thuds into middle and leg stump. Another twist in this fascinating game! 150/419.1 Vastrakar bites the dust! Capsey dangles the carrot outside off and Vastrakar bites. Hares down the track trying to smash it into Cubbon Park but all she does is shank it straight up. Reddy camps under it at cover and completes the catch! 160/5Extras8 (lb 3, nb 2, w 3)TOTAL173/6 (20 Overs, RR: 8.65)Fall of wickets: 1-0 (Hayley Matthews, 0.2 ov), 2-50 (Nat Sciver-Brunt, 6.1 ov), 3-106 (Yastika Bhatia, 13.2 ov), 4-150 (Amelia Kerr, 17.6 ov), 5-160 (Pooja Vastrakar, 19.1 ov), 6-167 (Harmanpreet Kaur, 19.5 ov)
