- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR10.4 big appeal, and the finger goes up! Shortish just outside off, and the ball spins back into Lanning. She gets caught on the crease trying to work to leg and the ball hits her right in front of the stumps. Seemed pretty adjacent and if Lanning has not hit it, this could be curtains. No bat involved. Ball Tracking comes up, and shows that the ball would have smashed into middle stump, two-thirds of the way up! Lanning has to go, and she takes a review along with her too. Massive, massive moment in the game! 74/47.1 and she gets Shafali! Tossed up on a length on middle and leg, and Shafali goes after it. Looks for the slog sweep but does not get the timing she is after. Clinks it a touch and Wareham holds her nerve on the deep mid wicket fence to take it reverse-cupped in front of her face! 64/17.3 two in the over for Molineux! And RCB are roaring back into this final! Looped up nicely on a length on middle and off. Holds just a little in the surface and comes off slower. Rodrigues swipes at it early and the ball goes past the bat, smashing into middle and off stump. A two-ball duck for Rodrigues in the WPL final, and DC under a bit of pressure now! 64/27.4 three in the over! What is happening here?! This is a dream over and some for RCB! Angled in on a length on middle and off. Capsey walks right across, looking for the paddle. The ball goes on with the angle, breezes past the bat and thunders into middle and leg. DC all over the shop! 64/313.1 Kapp bites the dust too! RCB all over DC like a rash now! Throws up the bait on a length on leg. Kapp looks to deposit this over long on but loses shape completely. The ball holds enough for Kapp to slice it and she spoons it to Devine at long on, who takes the catch well inside the fence! 80/513.3 Asha has two in the over now, and DC are on the ropes! Another carrot dangled up outside off and Jonassen bites. Tries to smash it into next week but like Kapp, slices across it too much. Goes straight up and Mandhana takes it. She and Asha almost collided but the RCB skipper did well to keep her eyes on the ball and hold on! 81/616.2 a run-out symbolic of the collapse! Back of a length outside off. Reddy pats it into the off side. Radha, without any real communication, hares half-way down, only to see her partner rooted to her crease. Has to turn back but that gives Molineux enough time to line up the throw and hit the stumps at the bowler's end. More indecisive cricket, and that perhaps sums up DC post the powerplay! 101/814.1 Shreyanka has two, and the Capitals are seven down! Darted in on a length on middle. Minnu gets down on one knee and looks for the sweep, rather puzzlingly. Plays all over it and gets pinned on the pads. Abhijit Bhattacharya thinks about it and then raises his finger. The Capitals sink further! 87/718.2 knocks her over! Fizzed through on a length on middle and off. Grips and spins back sharply, cutting Reddy in half. She is beaten on the inside, despite having backed away a little, and the ball pin-balls off the inside edge and back thigh before thudding into the stumps! DC nine down! 113/918.3 darted down leg. Taniya seems to miss it and the umpire originally signals a wide, despite Ghosh appealing. Not sure what she was appealing for, though. Mandhana has gone upstairs. And this looks like a review for a caught-behind. The pad was far away from the ball. So, it has to either be bat or it will be a wide. Okay, hang on. There is a spike when the ball is next to the bat. Clear enough and the Capitals have been rolled over for 113! 113/10Extras3 (w 3)TOTAL113 all out (18.3 Overs, RR: 6.1)Fall of wickets: 1-64 (Shafali Verma, 7.1 ov), 2-64 (Jemimah Rodrigues, 7.3 ov), 3-64 (Alice Capsey, 7.4 ov), 4-74 (Meg Lanning, 10.4 ov), 5-80 (Marizanne Kapp, 13.1 ov), 6-81 (Jess Jonassen, 13.3 ov), 7-87 (Minnu Mani, 14.1 ov), 8-101 (Radha Yadav, 16.2 ov), 9-113 (Arundhati Reddy, 18.2 ov), 10-113 (Taniya Bhatia, 18.3 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR14.6 Mandhana falls! Oh my, is this game still alive?! Tossed up on a length on middle and leg. Mandhana's eyes light up, especially with mid on up. Mandhana is beaten in the air, though, and has to reach out well in front. Hacks across it a little too much, and the ball goes straight up. Reddy tracks it all the way from mid on and holds on! 82/28.1 traps Devine in front, and the finger goes up! Devine reviews! Back of a length on off. Nips back and Devine, caught on the crease, plays all over it. Gets pinged on the flap of the front pad, and height could save Devine. No bat involved. All eyes on Ball Tracking now...Hitting the top of leg stump, and Devine has to walk back. Is that the breakthrough that brings DC back into this game? 49/1Extras0TOTAL115/2 (19.3 Overs, RR: 5.89)Fall of wickets: 1-49 (Sophie Devine, 8.1 ov), 2-82 (Smriti Mandhana, 14.6 ov)
