- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR12.6 what a catch by Kerr on the fence! Hard length on middle and leg, and this seems to rush onto Lanning. She looks for the pull but is rushed into the stroke. Splices it and the ball arrows towards deep mid wicket. Kerr judges it to perfect and dives forward to complete an excellent catch. Vital, vital wicket! 114/34.3 Ismail has the last laugh! And she gives Shafali a send-off toot! Pace-on, hard length on leg stump. Shafali tries to smear this over the leg side but the extra pace and the angle means she is cramped for room. Feathers it through to Yastika, and Ismail lets out all her frustration in that celebration. She had a catch dropped, she was smacked for two successive sixes but now, she has Shafali back in the shed! 48/19.3 plays it onto her stumps! Slowed up and bowled shorter outside leg, perhaps trying to cramp Capsey for room. Capsey responds by looking for the reverse. The ball seems to come onto her a little slower than she expects and all she does in the end is deflect it off the face of the bat onto off stump. Massive, massive wicket for the Mumbai Indians! 79/217.2 cleans her up! Darted into the blockhole on middle and leg. Kapp backs away, trying to access the off side. The yorker is too good, though, and Kapp cannot get her bat down in time. Sneaks past and thuds into the stumps. Kapp could not really get going tonight! 151/4Extras8 (lb 1, w 7)TOTAL192/4 (20 Overs, RR: 9.6)Fall of wickets: 1-48 (Shafali Verma, 4.3 ov), 2-79 (Alice Capsey, 9.3 ov), 3-114 (Meg Lanning, 12.6 ov), 4-151 (Marizanne Kapp, 17.2 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR5.5 taken this time! Jonassen has the wicket she was after! Fired in on a back of a length on leg stump. Matthews looks for the pull but the ball hurries onto her. Hits her high on the bat too, and arrows towards mid wicket, where Capsey holds onto a sharp chance in front of her face. The Mumbai Indians are four down, and in all sorts of trouble! 54/40.4 knocks her over! Hard length on off stump and this skids through. Yastika has a mighty swipe across the line and picks the wrong ball to do so. Nowhere near it and the ball thuds into the top of off stump. Kapp breaks through early again! 7/11.1 hot knife through butter! Full delivery that starts on off stump and boomerangs back in. Sciver-Brunt, trying to work it to leg, plays all over it and is all at sea. Breezes past the bat and smashes into the stumps. Sciver-Brunt cannot quite believe what has happened, but she has to trudge back! 12/22.6 Kapp gets the MI captain! Fullish on middle and off, and this seems to just stick in the surface a smidgen. Harmanpreet closes her bat face too early and the ball spoons up off the leading edge. Radha settles under it at backward point and does the rest. Massive, massive moment in the game! 29/38.5 Kerr perishes! Much fuller than the previous ball and this slants into middle and leg, denying Kerr the sort of room she had for the six. Tries to go over long on but the bat face closes upon impact. Arrows it towards Rodrigues at long on, who rushes in off the fence and gobbles up the chance! 68/517.4 stumped by a mile! Fizzed through on a length on off. Vastrakar hares down, without really reading the length. She is nowhere near the pitch of the ball and her woes are compounded by the fact that the ball grips. Spins past the outside edge and Taniya completes a regulation stumping! 137/715.1 Jonassen finds a way past Amanjot! Fizzed through on a length on leg stump. Amanjot shows her hand too early and walks across. Cuts herself off in the end and cannot make contact with her paddle sweep. The ball thunders into middle and leg, and that might be that for this run-chase! 116/619.6 Jonassen finishes it off with a wicket! The Mumbai Indians are no longer invincible while chasing, and they have been thoroughly outplayed tonight! Hung up on a length on middle and off. Pitches and skids through, going past Kazi's agricultural hack. Pings off stump, and the Delhi Capitals are all smiles. They establish a two-point lead at the top of the table, and win their first game at home! 163/8Extras11 (w 11)TOTAL163/8 (20 Overs, RR: 8.15)Fall of wickets: 1-7 (Yastika Bhatia, 0.4 ov), 2-12 (Nat Sciver-Brunt, 1.1 ov), 3-29 (Harmanpreet Kaur, 2.6 ov), 4-54 (Hayley Matthews, 5.5 ov), 5-68 (Amelia Kerr, 8.5 ov), 6-116 (Amanjot Kaur, 15.1 ov), 7-137 (Pooja Vastrakar, 17.4 ov), 8-163 (Humaira Kazi, 19.6 ov)
