9.05pm That is a thoroughly impressive bowling performance from RCB as they bowl out DC for 141 in 19.3 overs. Renuka Singh started with a bang, removing Shafali first ball. Rodrigues and Lanning added 59 for the second wicket, but once their partnership was broken, it all unravelled quickly for DC. Renuka picked 3 for 23 and was the pick of the bowlers. Georgia Wareham also picked 3 for 25 including a double-wicket over, while Kim Garth and Ekta Bisht picked two wickets apiece. Can RCB chase this down and make it two in two? Join Vishal in a bit to find out.

Renuka Singh Thakur gets the purple cap for being the highest wicket-taker so far in the tournament: In the last few series, I have got some help here. So, I knew I would get some swing. I had come here with a wicket mindset. I have focused a lot on fitness this time. I want to take wickets in the powerplay as the last two WPL's weren't great. Whenever I get a chance, I go to NCA and work with Troy [Cooley]. I am very comfortable with him. [Chase] The wicket is not easy. The ball is holding into the surface. But we should chase this down.

Garth to Reddy, OUT, That's that! Delhi Capitals don't bat out their 20 overs. The slower ball brings about Reddy's undoing again. Slower back of a length ball outside off. She shuffles across and looks to go across the line. Gets it off the higher part of the bat and Perry takes a simple catch at deep midwicket

She backtracks, puts in a dive but fails to hang on
