The Delhi Capitals' Incredible Bowling Performance

The Mumbai Indians began batting first, but Delhi's bowlers were too skilled for them to get many runs!

• Lanning scored 60 runs and stayed not out till the conclusion.
• Shafali Verma hit 43 runs with strong shots, including massive sixes and boundaries!

Their massive 85-run partnership early on made the victory quite simple. Shafali got out in the 10th over, but by then, Delhi was almost at the finish line. Thanks to Lanning, they won the game with 33 balls to spare!

How Mumbai’s Batting Struggled

Mumbai Indians started well, with Yastika Bhatia hitting a four on the first ball. But soon, they started losing wickets.

With a fantastic over, Shikha Pandey got Yastika out for just 11 runs.

• Annabel Sutherland dismissed Hayley Matthews in the next over.
• Despite her best efforts, Mumbai's captain Harmanpreet Kaur was dismissed despite scoring 22 runs.
• Jess Jonassen’s amazing bowling took two more key wickets: Harmanpreet and Nat Sciver-Brunt.

Mumbai could only score 123/9 in 20 overs, which was too low to challenge Delhi.

Delhi’s Easy Win

Mumbai's bowlers were smashed all over the ground by Lanning and Shafali.

• By the end of the PowerPlay, Delhi had already scored 57 runs!
