Delhi Capitals Women vs Mumbai Indians Women Match Highlights
The Mumbai Indians Women, batting first, faced a significant challenge early in their innings. Their captain, Harmanpreet Kaur, advanced to the occasion amid the chaos of losing key players.
Harmanpreet Kaur’s Stellar 66 Anchors Mumbai’s Innings
After the dismissals of Yastika Bhatia for 8 runs, Hayley Matthews for 3 runs, and Nat Sciver-Brunt for 30 runs left the team struggling, Harmanpreet anchored the innings with a stellar performance. She delivered a magnificent 66 runs off just 44 balls, demonstrating her experience and skill under pressure.
The middle and lower order mobilized around her, with G Kamalini contributing a crucial 10 runs that helped stabilize the innings. Despite facing fierce opposition from the Delhi bowlers, particularly Marizanne Kapp, who took 2 wickets for just 11 runs, and Jess Jonassen with figures of 2 for 26, Mumbai managed to post a total of 149 runs for the loss of 7 wickets.
Kapp’s 40 Keeps Delhi’s Chase Alive Despite Setbacks
As the Delhi Capitals Women began their chase of 150, they appeared to be in a strong position initially. However, the Mumbai bowling attack, spearheaded by Nat Sciver-Brunt, quickly put the capital’s lineup on the back foot.
Skipper Meg Lanning was dismissed for just 13 runs by Sciver-Brunt, who soon followed up by claiming the wickets of Shafali Verma and Jess Jonassen. Jemimah Rodrigues briefly stabilized the innings with her contribution of 30 runs, but the Mumbai bowlers maintained relentless pressure throughout the innings.
Marizanne Kapp, after a shaky start, fought valiantly to keep the chase alive, scoring 40 runs off 26 balls. With contributions from Annabel Sutherland (25) and Niki Prasad, who remained not out at 25, the Capitals were still in play.
However, as wickets continued to tumble at critical moments, the required run rate soared. The Delhi Capitals Women ultimately ended their innings at 141 runs, falling short by 8 runs, which highlighted the Mumbai bowlers’ discipline and tactical brilliance. Sciver-Brunt finished with an impressive 3 wickets for 30 runs, while Amelia Kerr recorded figures of 2 for 25, and Saika Ishaque made a valuable contribution with 1 for 33.
