LIVE Mumbai Indians vs Delhi Capitals: That is it!

Delhi Capitals completed their victory quickly, as the Mumbai Indians, who seemed invincible just last week, have now suffered consecutive defeats, with today's being a particularly humiliating one. DC were expected to win with ease, given the small target, and Shafali Verma provided them with a strong start, dominating the powerplay with effortless scoring over the infield. Despite being dismissed by Matthews in the penultimate powerplay over, her replacement at the crease, Alice Kapsey, picked up where she left off, smashing three sixes off Matthews' over. Meg Lanning also contributed at a rapid pace, before Kapsey resumed her attack on Ishaque, hitting two sixes and a four. The winning runs were scored in that very over, as Delhi Capitals chased down the target in just 9 overs, overtaking MI on net run rate.

Mumbai Indians had a rough day at the office with the bat as they struggled from the third over itself.

Hayley Matthews, who posed a significant threat, also fell early thanks to a remarkable low catch taken by Jemimah Rodrigues. Amelia Kerr did not last long, edging onto the keeper's gloves. Although Pooja Vastrakar and skipper Harmanpreet managed to build a small partnership, they both lost their wickets in the deep after getting off to decent starts. Amanjot Kaur and Issy Wong then contributed steadily as Radha Yadav and Jonassen bowled a few poor deliveries. However, Mumbai Indians could only manage to reach a total of 109 runs for the loss of eight wickets.

Yastika's brief innings comes to an end as she walks back after scoring just one run.

The new batter is right-handed Nat Sciver-Brunt.

It's another wicket for Marizanne Kapp! She bowled a length ball that cut back a bit and Nat Sciver-Brunt tried to lazily punch it away from her body, but ended up getting an inside edge that knocked back her middle stump. Sciver-Brunt departs without scoring. Kapp is on fire once again!

Harmanpreet Kaur: Toss is not in my control, you have to accept whatever. We are a very balanced side, so no complains in terms of batting or bowling first. In the last game, batting is something we want to show more responsibility. We are fairly confident and have a balanced side, just need to execute the plans. One change for us, Pooja Vastrakar comes in to replace Dhara (Gujjar).

Meg Lanning: We'll bowl first, no real reason. Just going to see how it goes. Same team, same combination as the previous game. The idea is to keep is as simple as we can, be consistent and hopefully get the job done.
