DC vs MI Match Review
The defending champions won the toss and asked Capitals to bat first. Delhi lost the aggressive opener Shafali Verma early to Shabnim Ismail. Skipper Lanning and Alice Capsey then built a partnership and together they eased down the pressure and started hammering MI bowlers.
Nat Sciver-Brunt in her second spell sent Lanning back and Jamimah Rodrigues entered the arena. She and Alice Capsey opened the assault on Mumbai and scored a few very quick runs. Capsey smashed her half-century in 38 balls and got out on 75 off 53. Jamimah added 42 off 22 and a cameo by Marizanne Kapp of 16 runs in just 9 balls led Delhi to a decent 171 total in the first innings.
Delhi Capitals were on fire with the ball and Kapp took the first wicket in the second ball of the match. A 50-run partnership between Nat Sceiver-Brunt and Yastika was broken by Arundhati Reddy, dismissing the former in her first ball of the match. Yastika Bhatiya was too good on the field in the first match of the season. She alone took the Capitals by storm and punched 57 off 45 balls.
Skipper Harmanpreet Kaur, who was out of form for a long time finally got some runs off her bat and she played a captain’s knock. With 55 runs off just 34 balls, she was the one, who took Mumbai close to the target. MI needed 22 runs off 12 balls and Sutherland bowled excellent 5 balls but Kaur smashed a SIX in the last ball of the over and the target was 12 in the last over.
Alice Capsey, who showed her power in the first innings was called for the final over to show if she could do some magic with the ball in her hands. She dismissed Vastrakar in the first ball. MI were under huge pressure and youngster Amanjot Kaur came at the crease. She took three runs in the next two balls and they still needed 9 off 3 balls.
Harman lofted one over cover-point and found a boundary and got out in the very next ball. 5 runs were needed off 1 ball and the new batter S Sanjana did the job. A good length ball by Capsey was lofted over long-on and Mumbai Indians defeated Delhi Capitals by 4 wickets.
