Delhi have beaten Mumbai, or rather they have thrashed Mumbai in this match. Dominance from Delhi top, right, center and in each and every direction one can think. Right from the start, they kept taking wickets and put Mumbai under the pump. A 110-run target was never enough even as the pitch. Capitals came with all the hamerring from Shafali, Lanning and Capsey to close it in 9 overs. So DC go on top of the standings. This was it from our end, I Varun Malik, sign off, thanks for joining.
They have dominated the proceedings like anything and are on door of a big win.
Delhi are going all guns blazing. Despite the wicket of Shafali, they are well on track to chase this one. Shafali and Lanning made an explosive start and Capsey is also firing well. They are at 89/1 in 7 overs
Shafali Verma is hitting well as Delhi have made a fine start. Powerplay is very crucial for both the sides.
And the star opening pair of Lanning and Shafali are out in the middle. MIW need quick wickets. Nat Sciver starts for them.
So, Mumbai finish at 109 from 20 overs. Surely not what they would have liked. The pitch was assisting the bowlers with ball coming slow to the batters. They lost early wickets and then Harmanpreet and Vastrakar staged a fighting act. But Vastrakar fell soon and Kaur also followed her as Capitals dominated the proceedings. Can Mumbai defend this small total or will Delhi fall? We shall find that out soon. Will be back with the chase.
And Delhi have now got the Mumbai captain here. Kaur wanted to slog it over deep mid-wicket but Jemimah at the boundary grabs a fine catch and celebrates with her dancing moves.
It's end of a fine cameo by Vastrakar. She has been caught at long on as could not time the ball well. She goes for 29 off 19.
Mumbai are looking to get a go here as Harmanpreet and Vastrakar have amassed 18 runs in the 10th over. They have got a bit of momentum and would need to carry this on
Harmanpreet has been one of the most reliant batter of Mumbai. This pitch looks to assist the bowlers and Mumbai have played some bad shots as well. Can Harmanpreet guide her team to some fightable total? We shall find that out soon.
Make it 4 then. Arundhati has got Amelia and Delhi are all over Mumbai. This was a full ball outside off as Amelia wanted to drive it on off. She gets a tickle and Taniya does the rest.
Mumbai have registered a score of only 19/1 in the powerplay. This was Delhi's phase and they are all over Mumbai.
No way, you can't take them. Jemimah has taken a blinder to dismiss Matthews. The batter hit it towards mid on but Jemimah runs and dives and stretches herself completly to grab a diving catch on her right. Even she can't believe.
Marizanne Kapp has got two wickets on two balls in her second over as she has removed Yastika and Nat Sciver. Delhi have got a flying start here.
It's action time at the DY Patil Sports Academy as Yastika Bhatia and Hayley Matthews are out in the middle for MIW. Marizanne Kapp starts for DCW.
These two are a very well balanced teams. Delhi's top and middle order and Mumbai's top and middle order batters are the torhc bearers. In the bowling, Mumbai have Saika Ishaque leading the pack, while Hayley Matthews and Amelia Kerr take Mumbai's bowling forward.
Delhi have won the toss and have opted to bowl as Harmanpreet loses yet another toss.
The pitch at the venue has slowed and will assit bowlers
