The dominant display from the bowling unit of DC that includes the likes of Marizanne Kapp (2/13), Shikha Pandey (2/21) and Jess Jonassen (2/25) didn’t give any likelihood to Mumbai to comeback in the recreation.
Pooja Vastrakar, with 26 off 19, together with 3 fours and a six, used to be the easiest scorer of Mumbai as the Harmanpreet Kaur-led facet may handiest in a position to achieve 109/8 of their allocated 20 overs.

“It was a great game, hard to fault much. We got off well with the bowl, Kapp got us to a great start again and to chase down like that was brilliant. (On Kapp) She’s very talented, always eager to play well and to see her perform so well, very pleased for her. I think the bowler’s did it for us tonight, to restrict them to about 100 was great. (On Orange Cap) I was quite happy with the blue, not too worried about things like this. Just want a repeat performance like this, bat well, bowl well and hopefully get another win,” mentioned Lanning after the fit.

The crew that seemed invincible in the first 5 video games has dropped two video games in a row. Tonight’s loss to #DC has dented the NRR a good bit too. While the 1-2-3 are taken care of…the ultimate day of the #TataWPL will let us know who makes it at once to the finals. Loving it ? @JioCinema
