- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR4.2 knocks over leg stump! She swung it into the right-handers and she's swinging it from around the wicket as well! Bowls a perfect length to shape it in, Bhatia tries to drive it back but misses the line and loses her stumps 32/20.3 edged to slip, Matthews gone for a duck! Swinging it like a pro, Shikha Pandey! Continues to bring it in with prodigious swing, she pitches it a tad shorter to make the batter drive outside off and it leads to an edge to slip where the reliable Meg Lanning pouches it with both hands with a tumble to her left. Pandey is pumped! 1/110.5 Sutherland has the last laugh! Finely-judged catch from Niki Prasad on WPL debut They placed a deep third just before this ball and Sutherland went for the wide line - a cross-seam delivery on a fullish length. Could have been a wide had Harmanpreet left it. But in a hitting mood, she walks across and looks to slash it over the off side but gets a thick outside edge that flies straight to Prasad, India's U-19 T20 World Cup-winning captain 105/313.3 A run-out at the non-striker's end? Kerr is already walking! Nicely tossed up by Mani, Sciver-Brunt charges down and belts it hard straight back to the bowler, and it deflects off her hands onto the stumps. Kerr knows it, unfortunate that 129/414.2 Nicked and... did it carry? Another slower one outside off, this one is fuller in length. Sajana goes hard at it and gets an outside edge that goes low to Bryce behind. They look at the replay and it shows it carried nice and low to her. MI losing fizz now 133/515.6 Yorks herself, Capsey has the final laugh! Nicely flighted again, Amanjot is enticed into using her feet. She comes down and looks to flick it across the line. The ball passes under her bat and knocks the stumps. MI have lost 3 for 17 in the last 15 balls 146/617.4 Skied high, simple as for Lanning! Generously flighted outside off, Gupta goes for the good ol' slog across the line and skies it high. Cover settles under it for a simple catch 156/718.3 Kalita sacrifices her wicket at the non-striker's end! Pandey bowls the slower legcutter well outside off, on a full length, Sciver-Brunt hammers it back past mid-on. Shafali does well to get across from long-off, fires a flat throw to Pandey who does the rest 159/818.5 Put down by Sutherland but she redeems herself! Returns a good throw to Pandey, who effects another run-out. I must say it was not an easy catch. A juicy full toss outside off, Sciver-Brunt only top-edges it towards mid-on. Sutherland runs back and stretches her left hand out and it fails to stick 160/919.1 Full, straight, stumps light up! Ishaque cannot get away from strike. She swings across the line but misses on the inner edge. It was the cross-seam delivery. MI are bowled out for 164 164/10Extras11 (lb 2, nb 2, w 7)TOTAL164 all out (19.1 Overs, RR: 8.55)Fall of wickets: 1-1 (Hayley Matthews, 0.3 ov), 2-32 (Yastika Bhatia, 4.2 ov), 3-105 (Harmanpreet Kaur, 10.5 ov), 4-129 (Amelia Kerr, 13.3 ov), 5-133 (Sajeevan Sajana, 14.2 ov), 6-146 (Amanjot Kaur, 15.6 ov), 7-156 (Sanskriti Gupta, 17.4 ov), 8-159 (Jintimani Kalita, 18.3 ov), 9-160 (Shabnim Ismail, 18.5 ov), 10-164 (Saika Ishaque, 19.1 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR6.1 and she gets it! After countless swings and misses, two edges, one catch dropped, she has knocked over Lanning's off stump. There comes the roar from Ismail as Lanning walks back. It was headed straight for off stump as the swing has subsided, and Lanning played across the line to miss it completely 60/25.5 like how Sutherland did it against Harmanpreet, Matthews's does it against Shafali! The blazing attack ends as Shafali chips a catch on the leg side. It was quicker and flatter on the stumps, Shafali went back to loft it over mid-on but was late on the shot and chipped it somewhere between mid-on and midwicket 60/17.5 straight to Harman at cover, Kerr has struck! The typical drive from Rodrigues that she goes down on a knee for, lunges forward for, and usually places nicely inside out, but this time sends it straight into the hands of Harmanpreet who throws the ball high in celebration 66/38.5 another big wicket, DC have lost four in no time! A bit of luck for Sciver-Brunt as this keeps quite low after cutting in off the scrambled seam. The tall Sutherland can't get her bat down in time and loses middle stump 76/414.5 Ismail takes a very good catch at long-on! Kerr has done the job for Harmanpreet and MI - breaks the 33-run partnership that was budding. Flights one in line of the stumps, Capsey looks to go big but finds long-on, who runs to her left and holds on 109/519.5 Prasad takes the aerial route and finds Kerr in the deep! MI are still in this!! Seam-up delivery on a length, she gets under it and heaves it across the line. Makes excellent contact, or so it seems till Kerr runs in from deep midwicket to take it with a dive 163/817.3 Matthews delivers the killer blow! The good-striking Bryce is out of here Backs away to make room and loft one over the off side, where there is noone deep at cover. Matthews lands it on a length on middle and leg, cramping her for room. She goes with the shot and finds Kalita at cover-point. Is that the end of DC's challenge? 140/618.3 Oh dear! Another run-out appeal against Pandey. This time the body language is not as positive as the previous time. She charges at a full toss and hits it straight to cover-point, who fires a throw to Bhatia. Pandey took time to turn and even a dive is not enough. Sajana with that flat throw that results in a seventh DC wicket 147/7Extras7 (b 2, lb 1, nb 1, w 3)TOTAL165/8 (20 Overs, RR: 8.25)Did not bat: M ManiFall of wickets: 1-60 (Shafali Verma, 5.5 ov), 2-60 (Meg Lanning, 6.1 ov), 3-66 (Jemimah Rodrigues, 7.5 ov), 4-76 (Annabel Sutherland, 8.5 ov), 5-109 (Alice Capsey, 14.5 ov), 6-140 (Sarah Bryce, 17.3 ov), 7-147 (Shikha Pandey, 18.3 ov), 8-163 (Niki Prasad, 19.5 ov)
