- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.4 another wicket for Athapaththu! Fuller on leg stump. Yastika is intent on the sweep again and this time, makes decent contact. The only problem, though, is that she hits it uppishly and in the general direction of Sehrawat at deep backward square leg. Sehrawat watches it carefully and snares the chance reverse-cupped in front of her face. Mumbai Indians in early strife! 17/21.3 straight to mid on! Slows this up nicely on a length just outside off. Matthews' eyes light up and she looks to go downtown. Does not get to the pitch of the ball, though, and has to reach out well in front. Clinks it off the toe-end and finds Ecclestone, stationed right on the circle! Prized early scalp for the Warriorz! 8/111.2 cleans her up! Definitely quicker and flatter, and maybe slightly fuller than the previous ball. This is at the stumps too and keeps a shade low. Sciver-Brunt, trying to access the leg side, is beaten for pace and the ball smashes into the stumps before her bat comes down. Massive, massive moment in the game! 76/314.1 and she rips out Harmanpreet Kaur! Length delivery that hones in on off stump. Harmanpreet thinks it is there to be swiped away but the ball is a tad fuller than she thinks it is. Skids off the surface, breezes past the bat and flattens off stump. What an inspired bowling change by Healy, and the 27-year-old has come up trumps! 104/419.6 run out off the last ball! Darted into the stumps. Sajana, in trying to advance, yorks herself. Digs it out towards long on. Kerr is intent on coming back for two but is not even in the frame as Ecclestone collects and takes off the bails! 160/615.4 holes out to deep backward square leg! Deepti slows this up nicely on a length on off. Amanjot looks for the big sweep over deep square but the lack of pace means that she gets under it too much. Spoons it and Thakor makes no mistake, taking the catch well inside the fence! 117/5Extras1 (b 1)TOTAL160/6 (20 Overs, RR: 8)Fall of wickets: 1-8 (Hayley Matthews, 1.3 ov), 2-17 (Yastika Bhatia, 3.4 ov), 3-76 (Nat Sciver-Brunt, 11.2 ov), 4-104 (Harmanpreet Kaur, 14.1 ov), 5-117 (Amanjot Kaur, 15.4 ov), 6-160 (Amelia Kerr, 19.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR4.1 hot knife through butter! Hard length on off and this nips back sharply. Seems to gather pace off the surface too and whistles past the bat even before it has come down. Flattens leg stump and Healy cannot quite believe what Ismail has just produced. Too hot to handle for Healy. The Warriorz are now three down, and in all sorts of strife! 15/31.5 knocks her over! Floated up full on middle and off stump. Seems to drop on the batter viciously and Navgire almost yorks herself by planting her front foot. Sneaks under the bat and thunders into off stump. Ishaque is delighted, that is just the kind of start MI would have wanted! 11/13.3 the softest of dismissals! Shortish outside off and this seems to stick in the surface. Athapaththu, looking for the cut, is way too early into the stroke and lobs it straight to Sajana at extra cover. Athapaththu stands shocked, but she has to go. UPW, like MI, in some early bother! 15/29.2 knocks her over! Ishaque holds her nerve! Gives this a bit of air too, on middle and leg. Drops on the batter, grips in the surface and turns enough to go past Harris' flailing blade as she looked to repeat the dose. Crashes into off stump and Ishaque is absolutely pumped! 41/412.2 Sehrawat perishes! Hard length on off. Sehrawat backs away, trying to access the area behind point. She misses and Vastrakar hits. MI continue to chip away, and the Warriorz's chase continues to flag! 58/514.3 does her all ends up! Off-pace on a length on middle and off. Khemnar backs away and swings like a rusty gate. Swings at it at least a week eary and the ball arrives well after. Hits the top of middle and off, and the Warriorz lose another! 69/614.4 what a catch by Sajana! Length on middle and leg. Ecclestone tries to go big first ball and heaves it to long on's right. Sajana tracks it well, eats up ground to her right and completes a sensational diving catch. She is over the moon, and why shouldn't she. That is right out of the top-drawer! 69/718.6 holes out to long on! Slows it up beautifully on a length on middle and leg. Chetry wants to go downtown but is beaten in the flight. Has to fetch it front of her body and plonks it off the toe-end. Sajana takes it well inside the fence. Ishaque has three, and she has bowled brilliantly tonight! 106/819.2 Sajana has a wicket too! Fired in on a length outside off. Thakor, rather ambitiously, looks for the lap. Gets a bit of it but not enough to clear short fine leg. Easy catch for Ishaque, and the Warriorz are now nine down! 107/9Extras4 (lb 1, w 3)TOTAL118/9 (20 Overs, RR: 5.9)Fall of wickets: 1-11 (Kiran Navgire, 1.5 ov), 2-15 (Chamari Athapaththu, 3.3 ov), 3-15 (Alyssa Healy, 4.1 ov), 4-41 (Grace Harris, 9.2 ov), 5-58 (Shweta Sehrawat, 12.2 ov), 6-69 (Poonam Khemnar, 14.3 ov), 7-69 (Sophie Ecclestone, 14.4 ov), 8-106 (Uma Chetry, 18.6 ov), 9-107 (Saima Thakor, 19.2 ov)
