- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR4.6 Kapp has three, and UP Warriorz are in all sorts of trouble now! Another length delivery outside off that leaves the batter. Healy, trying to counter-attack, comes down the track. Swings at it but the late movement means the ball skews off the toe-end. Shafali back-tracks to her left and plucks out a superb catch over her shoulder! 16/32.2 easy catch at deep third! Full and wide outside off, and this seems to swing away very late. Vrinda throws her hands at it but because of how far the ball is, she cannot control her stroke. Slices it and Pandey does the rest on the fence. Early success for the Capitals, and it is Kapp who has provided that breakthrough again! 11/14.1 cleans her up with an absolute jaffa! Back of a length delivery that probably starts on middle and off stump before curving away devilishly. McGrath is squared up completely and plays down the wrong line. The ball whistles past the outside edge and thuds into the top of off stump. Dream delivery, dream dismissal and a dream start for Kapp so far! 15/29.5 Radha gets the better of Harris! Throws up the bait on middle and off, and Harris bites. She looks at the flight and thinks she can smash this into next week. Steps down, loses her shape and ends up slicing it terribly. Shafali picks up the trajectory nicely and does the rest at short third. The Warriorz's innings is now in tatters! 40/417.4 stumped by a distance! Shortens her length and fires it wider after seeing Sehrawat come down the track. She swishes at it anyway but gets nowhere close to the bal. Taniya Bhatia collects cleanly and then whips off the bails. A superb effort by Sehrawat, though, it has kept the Warriorz afloat! 109/711.6 goes straight up, and Radha has the last laugh! Dangles the carrot just outside off and Navgire cannot resist the urge to swing at it. Tries for a similar stroke but this time too, she is not to the pitch of the ball. Slices across the ball and it goes miles up. Radha calls early and completes the catch! 57/514.5 soft dismissal! And Khemnar gets a bit of a send-off too! Looks for the yorker again. Does not quite nail it and it ends up as a low full toss just outside off. Khemnar, looking for the scoop, does not get the contact she desires and lobs it straight to Pandey at short fine leg! 85/618.5 holes out to deep mid wicket! Seems like a change-up, bowled on a fullish length outside off. Deepti has a huge mow across the line and makes decent connection. Unfortunately for her, she is hitting to the longer part of the ground and Kapp snaffles up the chance a couple of yards inside the fence! 117/819.6 wicket to finish the innings! Hung up full outside off. Ecclestone looks to go inside out, over extra cover but all she manages is a tame chip to Lanning. Sums up the Warriorz's innings, truth be told. 119/9Extras10 (b 1, lb 3, nb 2, w 4)TOTAL119/9 (20 Overs, RR: 5.95)Did not bat: RS GayakwadFall of wickets: 1-11 (Dinesh Vrinda, 2.2 ov), 2-15 (Tahlia McGrath, 4.1 ov), 3-16 (Alyssa Healy, 4.6 ov), 4-40 (Grace Harris, 9.5 ov), 5-57 (Kiran Navgire, 11.6 ov), 6-85 (Poonam Khemnar, 14.5 ov), 7-109 (Shweta Sehrawat, 17.4 ov), 8-117 (Deepti Sharma, 18.5 ov), 9-119 (Sophie Ecclestone, 19.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR14.2 Lanning falls! Hard length on middle and leg, and this seems to hurry onto Lanning. She splices it towards backward square leg, where Vrinda dives parallel to the ground to her left and snares a very sharp chance! The Capitals will not win by ten wickets, after all! 119/1Extras4 (b 1, w 3)TOTAL123/1 (14.3 Overs, RR: 8.48)Fall of wickets: 1-119 (Meg Lanning, 14.2 ov)
