- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR7.3 Lanning's scratchy innings ends here. DC lose two in five balls! She miscues the short ball and skies it behind square. Ellyse Perry gets under it and finishes with a tumble to hold on in the end with one hand 62/30.2 Shafali gone first ball, what a big blow! Shafali will be disappointed with that. She took a step down, chipped the full delivery swinging in down the ground and handed the simplest of catches to the RCB captain at mid-off 1/16.5 time for the third umpire again, this time for a stumping! And Rodrigues is gone! Big, big wicket for RCB. She went for the reverse sweep, she missed the reverse sweep and Richa Ghosh whipped the bails off in no time. The third umpire wants to be 100% sure and she checks and checks again for a few extra frames to make sure the bails are completely dislodged before flashing out on the big screen. She's gone either ways 60/210.2 Renuka comes back and picks a wicket straight away. And the key wicket of Sutherland. Fullish-length ball just outside off. Sutherland looks to go inside out over covers, but can't get under the delivery. Toe-ends straight to Mandhana at extra cover. Simple catch 84/413.3 Another one bites the dust. Nicely looped up outside off. Kapp charges down, gets nowhere close to the pitch of the ball and her attempted loft goes straight down long-off's throat where Wyatt-Hodge made no mistake 105/611.1 Hits this straight to midwicket. And Capitals are suddenly in deep strife. Tossed up on leg stump rather just outside. She stays leg side of the ball looking to clear midwicket. Cannot get under it and ends up miscuing straight to midwicket, who takes a simple catch 87/517.3 Flatter outside off, Bryce misses, Ghosh doesn't. Bryce signals her intention to step out of her crease early. Wareham sees her and bowls this shorter and outside off. Bryce goes through with her shot, is nowhere close to it and is stumped 130/718.3 And another! Renuka is on a roll. Slower offcutter on leg stump. Pandey backs away, looking to clear the offside, but is deceived by the lack of pace. Ends up slicing to point where Bisht takes a simple catch 132/917.5 Oh, this time around, Radha has slapped this straight back to Wareham. Two wickets in the over for the leggie. Very short and wide. Radha stays back and swats this hard, but ends up giving Wareham a simple catch 130/819.3 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 141/10Extras12 (b 4, lb 1, w 7)TOTAL141 all out (19.3 Overs, RR: 7.23)Fall of wickets: 1-1 (Shafali Verma, 0.2 ov), 2-60 (Jemimah Rodrigues, 6.5 ov), 3-62 (Meg Lanning, 7.3 ov), 4-84 (Annabel Sutherland, 10.2 ov), 5-87 (Jess Jonassen, 11.1 ov), 6-105 (Marizanne Kapp, 13.3 ov), 7-130 (Sarah Bryce, 17.3 ov), 8-130 (Radha Yadav, 17.5 ov), 9-132 (Shikha Pandey, 18.3 ov), 10-141 (Arundhati Reddy, 19.3 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR15.1 She can't finish the game, but what a knock this has been from Mandhana. Shuffles right across to the fuller length ball well outside off and sort of pre-meditates the scoop. Gets too close to the ball and feebly mistimes to Reddy who sprints forward from short fine leg and completes the catch. 133/210.5 Finally a breakthrough for DC and Rodrigues makes amends. Back of a hand slower ball well outside off, close to the tramline. Wyatt-Hodge hops right across and looks to go inside-out over covers. Times it well but straight to sweeper cover where Rodrigues sprints in and takes a comfortable catch 107/1Extras5 (lb 2, w 3)TOTAL146/2 (16.2 Overs, RR: 8.93)Fall of wickets: 1-107 (Danni Wyatt-Hodge, 10.5 ov), 2-133 (Smriti Mandhana, 15.1 ov)
