Mumbai Indians' Innings

MI won the toss and decided to bowl. It turned out to be a wise decision, as they managed to pull together a gutsy 149/7 from 20 overs. The high point of their innings was skipper Harmanpreet Kaur's composed innings of 66 off 44 balls. She played in a sensible way, playing boundaries at the right time and piloting her team through tough spots.

Nat Sciver-Brunt added a useful 30 runs. MI, though, lost wickets at regular intervals and the DC's best bowler was Marizanne Kapp with two wickets on 25 runs. But still, MI reached a tough total due to crucial partnerships in middle and late overs of the inning.

Delhi Capitals' Chase

In the 150-run chase, the DC openers played fairly well until pressure started mounting on them by MI's tight spell of bowling. The only one who played well in the initial part with bat as well as at DC's run chase's command was Kapp. The lady played a gritty 40 off 26. She fought hard for her side with timely boundaries, one of which came in the shape of a six.

At the other end, however, MI's bowlers-Sciver-Brunt and Amelia Kerr-especially tried to play big shots. Sciver-Brunt was top class, taking 3 wickets for 30 runs and providing that much-needed breakthrough against DC's Shafali Verma, who was one of the more aggressive batsmen. Amelia Kerr's tight bowling and Jemimah Rodrigues's dismissal, who started aggressively but got out for 12, tilted the match in MI's favor.
