- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.5 Knocked her! Matthews has the last laugh in her duel with Wolvaardt. Once again flights it but drags the length back. Wolvaardt looks to repeat the previous stroke by charging down and away and has a swipe, but misses it completely to be bowled. Just the start Mumbai would have wanted 18/113.1 Where have you been, Sajana? Strikes first ball to break the 121-run stand. Slips in a length ball in line of the stumps at 83.7kph, Mooney goes back to heave it away. But gets a thick inside edge onto her stumps 139/216.4 End of Hemalatha's stay! Looks to go over cover but finds Harmanpreet there. Length ball just outside off, she looks to stay back and loft it over. Jhulan Goswami exults "yaaas Shabs!" from the dugout 163/514.3 Straight to cover! Ishaque among the wickets again. Tossed up outside off, Litchfield looks to charge down and go over the ring but finds Harmanpreet, who takes it over her head 152/315.4 Timbaaaaaa! Vastrakar adds to her superior head-to-head against Gardner. Lands it on a hard length just outside off, angling in in. Gardner is firmly rooted to the crease and is beaten on the inside and sees the off pole disturbed. Vastrakar is pumped up after being under the pump all this while 159/418.6 Bull's eye and Bryce is out of here! Fuller on the stumps, she heaves it to midwicket and sprints to the other end for a quick run. Sajana has ample time to take aim and strike down the stumps at the bowler's end 179/619.3 Amanjot takes a well-judged catch running a few steps in from deep midwicket. Rana dances down and looks to go over the longer side boundary but only gets the height 181/7Extras4 (lb 3, w 1)TOTAL190/7 (20 Overs, RR: 9.5)Fall of wickets: 1-18 (Laura Wolvaardt, 2.5 ov), 2-139 (Beth Mooney, 13.1 ov), 3-152 (Phoebe Litchfield, 14.3 ov), 4-159 (Ashleigh Gardner, 15.4 ov), 5-163 (Dayalan Hemalatha, 16.4 ov), 6-179 (Kathryn Bryce, 18.6 ov), 7-181 (Sneh Rana, 19.3 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR13.3 Gardner bowls, Gardner catches, Gardner removes the set batter. Bowls it on a length, Bhatia looks to sweep but takes her eye off it earlier. Gets a top edge and the bowler herself runs towards midwicket and pouches it. A wicket right after the timeout, like it was in Mooney's case, and Mumbai slip further 98/36.3 Kanwar roars after dismissing Matthews! She kept a leash on the Mumbai opener and has got the just rewards. Another arm ball around off and middle, Matthews goes with the angle with a slog sweep. But she finds Rana stationed there and she takes it with a dive forward 50/17.3 Shabnam gets the big fish Sciver-Brunt for her maiden WPL wicket! Rolls her finger as she bowls it full around off, 102.9kph. Sciver-Brunt looks to go over wide mid-on but the bat turns in her hand and she finds Rana.
