- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR5.6 Devine ends the powerplay with a wicket! Dug in short on off, perhaps a riposte to Matthews advancing. She hacks at it anyway but does not get the power she is after. Arrows it towards deep square leg, where Perry judges it to perfection and completes the catch sliding forward. Vital wicket for RCB, just as the middle overs dawn! 43/18.4 cleans her up with a jaffa! Length just outside off and this jags back sharply. Sajana has an airy waft at it without really getting to the pitch of the ball. Goes well past the inside edge and thuds into off stump. Crucial wicket, just before the time-out! 65/212.6 Perry has six, and this is absolute carnage! But hang on, Sciver-Brunt has reviewed this! Full and zoning in on middle and leg. Sciver-Brunt falls across a smidgen and is beaten by the inward seam movement. The ball thuds into the pads, in front of middle stump, and the finger goes up. Looked pretty adjacent, on first glance at least. No bat involved. Pitching in line, impact in line and thundering into leg stump. Perry becomes the first player in the history of the WPL to take six wickets in an innings, and this was a spell befitting of her extraordinary stature in the women's game! 82/78.5 two in two for Perry! Oh my word, what is happening here?! Length outside off, inviting the booming drive away from her body. Harmanpreet gives in to that temptation and does exactly that. The ball might just have stuck in the surface, meaning that Harmanpreet was early into the stroke. Takes the inside edge and rattles into the stumps! 65/310.1 another vociferous appeal, not given! Reviewed by RCB! Back of a length just outside off. Decks back sharply and beats Kerr on the inside as she advanced to work to leg. Paschim Pathak had a long look at it but was unmoved. Was Kerr too far down the track? Was the ball doing enough to miss leg? No bat involved, and oh, this looks awfully close because it has struck Kerr on the back pad. Three reds on Ball Tracking with the ball hitting leg stump. Decision overturned, and RCB are jubilant! A massive roar from the crowd too, and MI are wobbling! 69/410.3 another absolute peach, and Perry is on fire! Back of a length delivery that perhaps starts outside off and then boomerangs back in. Cuts Amanjot in half and goes through her even before the bat comes down. A bit of pin-balling between the pads, and the ball finally crashes into off stump. MI are on the ropes now! 73/512.3 off stump out of the ground! More Ellyse Perry magic! Length in the channel, and Vastrakar, after her success the previous ball, tries to smash this over cow corner. Loses her shape completely and she only swats away a few flies in the process. The ball whistles past and flattens off stump. Perry has five, Mumbai are six down, and this game is slowly drifting away from the defending champions! 81/615.2 holes out to long on! Throws up the bait outside off and Kazi bites. Hares down, trying to smear it over long on. Gets it off the toe-end, though, and hits it straight down Devine's throat. A tame dismissal, and that perhaps sums up MI's innings so far! 92/817.5 stumped by a mile! Floated up just outside off. Ismail comes down the track and swings hard at it. Gets nowhere close to the ball, largely because it spun away and Ghosh completes the easiest of stumpings! 106/918.6 another huge appeal, and given! Shortish delivery that pitches outside off and spins back into Ishaque. She has a massive whoosh across the line and gets hit on the back leg. She immediately indicates to her partner that there is no bat involved, and opts for the review just in the nick of time. Looked pretty out prima facie. No bat involved, and Ball Tracking has the ball demolishing the stumps. MI have been rolled over for 113! 113/10Extras3 (lb 3)TOTAL113 all out (19 Overs, RR: 5.94)Fall of wickets: 1-43 (Hayley Matthews, 5.6 ov), 2-65 (Sajeevan Sajana, 8.4 ov), 3-65 (Harmanpreet Kaur, 8.5 ov), 4-69 (Amelia Kerr, 10.1 ov), 5-73 (Amanjot Kaur, 10.3 ov), 6-81 (Pooja Vastrakar, 12.3 ov), 7-82 (Nat Sciver-Brunt, 12.6 ov), 8-92 (Humaira Kazi, 15.2 ov), 9-106 (Shabnim Ismail, 17.5 ov), 10-113 (Saika Ishaque, 18.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR4.5 edged and gone! RCB are two down inside the powerplay! Length delivery in the channel and this leaves the batter late. Mandhana nibbles at it away from her body and gets a faint tickle through to the keeper. RCB are reeling early in the powerplay! 25/23.2 Molineux perishes! Fizzed through on a full length just outside off. Molineux advances and swings at it. The ball grips just enough to spin past the outside edge. Bala does not gather it very cleanly but keeps her wits about her to whip off the bails, with Molineux still stranded! 22/16.1 goes through her! Length on off stump and this jags back sharply after pitching. Devine plays for the original line and does not account for the movement. Leaves a massive gap between bat and pad, and the ball bursts through, clipping the outside of leg stump in the process. The bail barely fell, but that is all Ismail and MI need. She is pumped, and MI believe! 39/3Extras15 (b 4, w 11)TOTAL115/3 (15 Overs, RR: 7.66)Fall of wickets: 1-22 (Sophie Molineux, 3.2 ov), 2-25 (Smriti Mandhana, 4.5 ov), 3-39 (Sophie Devine, 6.1 ov)
