- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR4.5 straight to deep backward point! Short, wide and that ought to have been hit. Nine times out of ten, Lanning would have done so too but tonight, she slices it straight to Wareham on the fence. No real celebration from Devine, she perhaps knows she has gotten away with one, but RCB will not mind this at all. This is a huge wicket! 28/111.6 Shreyanka has the last laugh! A little bit of a long-hop but it has led to the dismissal of Shafali here. Seam-up and Shafali, trying to make it three sixes out of three, hits it straight to Wareham at deep mid wicket. Excellent knock by Shafali, but she will be gutted she could not contribute more! 110/214.6 cleans her up! What a ball! Beautiful slower yorker on off stump that seems to fade away very late. Capsey tries to keep it out but cannot bring her bat down in time. Breezes past the outside edge and smashes into the stumps. de Klerk is pumped and why shouldn't she be. This is a massive wicket in the context of the game! 124/412.5 Rodrigues falls for a duck! Length outside off. Rodrigues, feeling the pinch after three dots, tries to go over mid off. The ball bounces a little extra, though, and gets big on her. Cannot control the stroke or generate power and Bahadur completes the simplest of catches at mid off! 111/318.3 miscued, and taken at long off! Full on middle and off, and it is there to be hit. Kapp tries to go downtown but just slices across it a shade. Spoons up towards Bahadur at long off, who makes no mistake! A pretty handy cameo, though, and it has ensured the Capitals will have a 170-plus score on the board! 172/5Extras9 (lb 2, nb 1, w 6)TOTAL194/5 (20 Overs, RR: 9.7)Fall of wickets: 1-28 (Meg Lanning, 4.5 ov), 2-110 (Shafali Verma, 11.6 ov), 3-111 (Jemimah Rodrigues, 12.5 ov), 4-124 (Alice Capsey, 14.6 ov), 5-172 (Marizanne Kapp, 18.3 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR11.6 Kapp knocks Mandhana over, and that is a humongous moment in the game! Seems like a change-up, bowled on a length just outside off. Comes in with the angle and the lack of pace means that Mandhana is early into the stroke. Misses completely and sees her off stump flattened soon after. Mandhana is dejected; Kapp, absolutely pumped! 112/28.3 goes straight up, and Devine bites the dust! Thigh-high full toss on off stump. Devine tries to smash it into next week and miscues it completely. Jonassen settles under it at mid wicket and completes the catch. But there could be drama still. The third umpire has been called in to check if it was a No ball on height. Well below the waist, and Devine has to go! 77/118.3 has Meghana been run out?! Tries to follow Meghana outside leg again. The batter, though, stands still upon contact and works it behind square. Deep backward square leg fields it well and throws it to the keeper. Meghana, looking for the second, is stranded half-way down at this point. Bhatia realises this and relays it to Reddy. She then throws down the stumps at the bowler's end and Meghana is caught short. Not the greatest effort to get back, it must be said, and that might be that for RCB's chase! 164/515.1 Kapp breaks through again! Cutter bowled into the track on off stump. Sticks in the surface and comes off slower than Ghosh expects. She slugs across the line, losing her shape in the process and slices it tamely. Jonassen watches it all the way and snares the chance, running in from backward point! 138/316.6 holes out to long on! Slower ball on a full length on middle and leg. Wareham's eyes light up and she goes after it. Dos not get the timing she is after, though, and offers a regulation catch to Capsey at long on! 150/418.4 two in two for the Capitals! Slower ball on a full length on off. de Klerk has a massive swipe at it and the ball goes straight up. Sutherland settles under it at long on and makes no mistake whatsoever! 164/619.3 this is beautiful bowling! Slowed up on a length outside off. Bahadur does not read the flight and hares down aimlessly. Nowhere to the pitch of the ball and spoons it up to Lanning at extra cover! 168/819.1 taken at deep mid wicket! Throws up the bait outside off. Molineux has no option but to swing at it. Does not middle it and Radha, this time, pouches it at deep mid wicket! 167/719.4 another for Jonassen! Given plenty of air on a length on middle and leg. Asha comes down the track and chips it straight to Sutherland at mid on. The wickets keep tumbling, and Jonassen keeps thriving! 168/9Extras5 (lb 1, nb 1, w 3)TOTAL169/9 (20 Overs, RR: 8.45)Fall of wickets: 1-77 (Sophie Devine, 8.3 ov), 2-112 (Smriti Mandhana, 11.6 ov), 3-138 (Richa Ghosh, 15.1 ov), 4-150 (Georgia Wareham, 16.6 ov), 5-164 (Sabbhineni Meghana, 18.3 ov), 6-164 (Nadine de Klerk, 18.4 ov), 7-167 (Sophie Molineux, 19.1 ov), 8-168 (Simran Bahadur, 19.3 ov), 9-168 (Asha Sobhana, 19.4 ov)
