That's all from our side for this game. See you tomorrow, when RCB take on Gujarat Giants.

Nat-Sciver Brunt is the Player of the Match. She also gets the orange cap. "I am enjoying my batting at the moment," she says. "[On Navgire's wicket] She has played a couple of crucial innings, so planned it. I guess anyone on a given day can win us the match."

Harmanpreet Kaur: Whatever we tried to executed came out well. Really happy with the result. Getting a wicket in the first over is really crucial. And Nat bowled really well. You just need to do the right thing again and again and Sanskriti's wickets turned it around. She is really sorted and bowled really well. I think we have got a lot of experience in our side and everyone knows her role. [On Sciver-Brunt] She batted really well and showed her talent. The pitch was looking different when she batted.

Hayley Matthews: Personally for myself, it was a bit choppy. Looking at the scenario, you always put the team first. It was a bit slow out there. I am a back foot player and struggled on the front foot. [On Nat Sciver-Brunt] She has been great with four big scores in four matches.

Deepti Sharma: We lost back-to-back wickets. Had we built partnerships, we could have posted 160-170. Grace Harris was given a role in the powerplay and she played that well. We will come back stronger. We will have takeaways from this game, continue the good work, and work on building partnerships.

10.35pm A convincing win by Mumbai Indians - with eight wickets and 18 balls to spare - that takes them to the top of the points table. They now have six points from four games, the same as Delhi Capitals who not only have played an extra match but also have a much poorer run rate. Nat Sciver-Brunt led the way with both bat and ball. She took 3 for 18 to help restrict UPW to 142 for 9 before leading the chase with an unbeaten 75 off 44. Matthews too showed signs of return to form after a slow start and contributed 59 off 50.

Ecclestone to H Kaur, FOUR, not in the most convincing manner but she does finish it off. Was a length ball angling down the pads. Harman looks to defend it on the front foot and gets an edge down the leg side that runs away to the fine leg boundary

Harmanpreet Kaur. Can she finish it off?

Ecclestone to Matthews, OUT, a top edge and that's a sitter for Vrinda at mid-on. It was a length ball around off. Matthews went back to pull but it wasn't short at all. Ends up getting a top edge
