- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR7.4 big appeal, and given! Fired in on a length and this finishes on middle and leg. Skids through and cramps Lanning for room. She tried to pull it away but was beaten, getting pinged on the back leg in the process. N Janani, after a bit of thought, raised her finger but Lannig wants to have another look at it. Nothing on UltraEdge. Three reds on Ball Tracking, with the ball hitting the middle of middle stump. Shreyanka and RCB are delighted, this is just what they would have wanted at this stage! 60/26.2 Asha outwits Shafali! Dangles the carrot outside off and Shafali bites. Swings at it in rather wild fashion and cuts across it completely. Goes straight up and Molineux does the rest at backward point. Superb bowling by Asha to induce that big stroke, and it has given RCB an opening! 54/117.5 knocks her over! Darted into the blockhole on leg stump. Rodrigues looks for the fine sweep but is beaten by how full the ball is. Breezes past the bat and flicks some part of her body before crashing into the stumps. What an innings this has been though, simply stunning! 157/319.1 Shreyanka has another! Angled in on a back of a length on middle and leg. Keeps coming back into Capsey and tucks her up for room as she looks to cut. Has a swish at it and misses, with the ball thundering into the top of leg stump! 176/419.4 Jonassen perishes! Rips it across the batter on a length outside off. Jonassen hares down, trying to smash it into next week. Has a wild slog across the line and misses. Ghosh does the rest behind the stumps, and Shreyanka has four! 179/5Extras9 (lb 1, nb 1, w 7)TOTAL181/5 (20 Overs, RR: 9.05)Fall of wickets: 1-54 (Shafali Verma, 6.2 ov), 2-60 (Meg Lanning, 7.4 ov), 3-157 (Jemimah Rodrigues, 17.5 ov), 4-176 (Alice Capsey, 19.1 ov), 5-179 (Jess Jonassen, 19.4 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.3 massive appeal, and Mandhana almost walked even before the umpire raised her finger! Fired in quicker and flatter on a length on off. Mandhana plays the trajectory and hangs back. Skids through and traps her right in front of middle stump. No hesitation from the umpire and Mandhana does not even bother with the review! Dream start for the Capitals! 9/111.5 Molineux falls now! Full outside off and Molineux thinks there is there to be hit. She is not entirely wrong, because of the width on offer. She is hitting to the longer side, though. Gets a decent chunk of it but not enough to clear Rodrigues on the deep cover fence. A good reverse-cupped catch in front of her face, and RCB lose two in quick succession! 93/310.6 Perry has been run out! Absolute calamity for RCB! Length on middle and off. Molineux backs away and tips it into the off side. Not sure who called but Perry is always struggling to make it ot the batter's end. The throw is right beside the stumps, and Taniya takes off the bails with minimal fuss. Perry is at least a yard short, and that is a massive, massive moment in the game! 89/217.1 holes out to deep backward square leg! Dug into the track on middle and leg. Devine thinks she can dump this over the fence but the ball is very close to her. Not enough width to free her arms and she picks out Reddy to perfection! Kapp coming up trumps just when her side needed it! 142/419.6 DC have won it! Oh my word. Ghosh is down on the deck in despair. The Delhi Capitals are absolutely ecstatic! Zipped in full on the stumps. Ghosh backs away and slices it straight to backward point. The fielder holds her nerve and throws it accurately at the bowler's end. Jonassen gathers it and then takes off the bails. Ghosh flung herself, even letting go off her bat in the end but she could not get there. Oh my, this is a conclusion and a half, and spare a moment for Ghosh, who, almost single-handedly, took RCB past the finish line! The Capitals fielders converge around Ghosh as she sits devastated and offer consolatory words. A superb game, a superb climax, and some superb camaraderie right at the end! 180/718.6 Pandey finishes the over with a wicket! Full toss on off stump. Wareham, by advancing, gets into a slightly awkward position and does not have the room to swing. Cloths it and Radha does the rest at long on. Another crucial wicket, given the damage Wareham is capable of causing! 165/519.3 slowed up on a length on leg stump. Ghosh backs away and chips it towards long off. Kasat was always going to sacrifice herself going for the second and is not even in the frame. The big question here is whether the batters have crossed. If they have not, then Ghosh will have to depart. It is touch-and-go. The third umpire is taking an awfully long time to decide, and in the end, he has decided that the batters did cross over. Ghosh stays, and remains on strike, importantly for RCB! 172/6Extras4 (w 4)TOTAL180/7 (20 Overs, RR: 9)Fall of wickets: 1-9 (Smriti Mandhana, 1.3 ov), 2-89 (Ellyse Perry, 10.6 ov), 3-93 (Sophie Molineux, 11.5 ov), 4-142 (Sophie Devine, 17.1 ov), 5-165 (Georgia Wareham, 18.6 ov), 6-172 (Disha Kasat, 19.3 ov), 7-180 (Richa Ghosh, 19.6 ov)
