- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR4.2 Kapp has two in the powerplay again! Hard length outside off. Wolvaardt has been feeling the pinch of the scoring rate lately and skips down. Tries to muscle it over mid off but it comes right off the toe-end. Loops up to Shafali at mid off, and she completes the catch with minimal fuss. The Giants in early strife! 16/30.6 knocks her over! Length delivery on leg stump and Mooney was getting twitchy after the dot balls. Tries to work it fine but the ball pings off the thigh pad and rolls onto the base of middle and leg stump. Early joy for the Capitals; just the start the Giants did not want! 1/13.3 Hemalatha bites the dust! Fired in on a length just outside off. Keeps coming back in with the angle and Hemalatha, playing the trajectory perhaps, stays back. Tries to dab it away but the ball breezes past the bat, knocking back the top of off stump! 12/210.2 six and out! Fired in a little quicker and this is on middle and off, meaning Litchfield is cramped for room. The quicker ball means Litchfield cannot get close enough to it either and she cloths it straight to Radha at mid on. One step forward, and two steps back for the Giants again! 48/58.4 what a ripper! Given a bit of air on a length outside off. Looks like Minnu Mani has given this plenty of revs too because it bites back off the surface. Gardner is not expecting that much turn, gets caught on the crease and is cut in half. Goes through her and smashes into the stumps. The Giants slide further! 39/418.4 Pandey gets Fulmali! Full and zoning into off stump. Fulmali sits back in her crease again and has a mow at it. Loses her shape this time and loses track of the ball too. Gets nowhere near it and the ball thunders into off stump. A useful knock, though, and it has set GG up for a total in excess of 120! 116/618.5 chops it on first ball! Slow and short outside off. Kanwar almost swings herself off her feet but is way too early into the stroke. Skews off the inside edge and then crashes into the stumps. Pandey has two in two, and is now on a hat-trick! 116/719.3 easy run-out! Right up in the blockhole on middle and off. Bryce backs away and squeezes it out towards cover point. They were always going to take the single but there was no single on. The throw is accurate and Taniya does the rest, catching Shabnam well short of her ground! 118/819.5 run-out to end the innings! Zipped through on a length on leg stump. Meghna swipes across the line and misses. Taniya does not gather cleanly but the ball rolls off her gloves to the right of the stumps. Bryce goes for the single but Meghna was never going to make it to the other end. Jonassen does the rest, and the Giants are nine down! 122/9Extras7 (b 1, lb 4, w 2)TOTAL126/9 (20 Overs, RR: 6.3)Fall of wickets: 1-1 (Beth Mooney, 0.6 ov), 2-12 (Dayalan Hemalatha, 3.3 ov), 3-16 (Laura Wolvaardt, 4.2 ov), 4-39 (Ashleigh Gardner, 8.4 ov), 5-48 (Phoebe Litchfield, 10.2 ov), 6-116 (Bharti Fulmali, 18.4 ov), 7-116 (Tanuja Kanwar, 18.5 ov), 8-118 (Shabnam Shakil, 19.3 ov), 9-122 (Meghna Singh, 19.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.1 has Lanning been run out?! Very full outside off. Lanning digs it out towards point. She wants the single but Shafali does not. Lanning gets sent back and she has to put in the dive to make her ground. Has she done enough, though? Her bat is on the line when the stumps are broken, and Lanning has to go! 31/112.6 Shafali perishes looking for the big shot! Slanted in on a back of a length on leg stump. Shafali, hell-bent on finishing it with a boundary, goes through with the shot. Not enough room to work with, though, and she picks out mid off. What an innings this has been, and it has knocked the stuffing out of the Giants! 125/33.5 straight to mid off! Given a bit of air on a length outside off. Capsey's eyes light up and she comes down the track. Gets too close to it perhaps and does not get the elevation she is after. Simple catching practice to Mannat, and DC lose two in quick succession! 31/2Extras2 (w 2)TOTAL129/3 (13.1 Overs, RR: 9.79)Fall of wickets: 1-31 (Meg Lanning, 3.1 ov), 2-31 (Alice Capsey, 3.5 ov), 3-125 (Shafali Verma, 12.6 ov)
