155/3 (19.0/20)
154/5 (20.0/20)
Delhi Capitals beat Mumbai Indians by 7 wickets
Another day, another twist in the WPL. With RCB already through to the playoffs, the other four teams are all locked at 4 points each. However, Mumbai Indians have already played 6 games, whereas everyone else has played 5, which makes things all the more difficult for the reigning champions. Next up, the two other teams locked on 4 points - Gujarat Giants and UP Warriorz face-off in Match 14 of the season. That game will be played on Thursday, 22 January and will begin at 7.30 pm IST (2 pm GMT), but you can tune in to our build-up a lot sooner. Until then, take care and goodbye!
Jemimah Rodrigues, the skipper of Delhi Capitals, is also named Player of the Match for her brilliant knock. She said it was a very good game for the team and praised Marizanne Kapp for her excellent spell in the Powerplay. Jemimah highlighted that the opening partnership between Shafali Verma and Lizelle Lee laid a strong foundation for the chase. She added that Kapp is very clear with her plans and is constantly striving to improve, and also mentioned that Kapp guided her through the closing overs. Jemimah shared that she gave herself time at the start, stayed calm, and once she was set, scoring became easier due to her clarity at the crease. She felt the team assessed the conditions well and believed anything under 160 would have been a competitive total. Jemimah concluded by saying she has learned a lot from watching how Nat Sciver-Brunt and Harmanpreet Kaur build and pace their innings.
The Presentation ceremony...
One of DC's star performers with the bat, Lizelle Lee, is now down for a chat. Lizelle Lee says that the wicket here isn't an easy one to play on but got away well with the bat. On her stumping, Lee says that it was a brilliant take from the keeper but doesn't want to talk more about it. Mentions that they have good, basic plans with the bat and Jemimah Rodrigues managed to get them over the line. Reckons that there's a lot of stress involved with being captain and feels like the job gets easier if everyone around the skipper is able to do their jobs.
Harmanpreet Kaur, the captain of the Mumbai Indians, admitted that her side fell about 20 runs short with the bat. She said the team struggled in the Powerplay with both bat and ball, and things did not go according to plan. She added that injuries before the start of the season forced them to experiment with different opening combinations. Harmanpreet stressed that whoever bats at the top must take responsibility. She praised Vashnavi Sharma for her impressive bowling, which brought them back into the game. Harmanpreet noted that the team has performed well over the past three seasons and continues to work hard, but injuries have been a setback. She concluded by saying that the Mumbai Indians will look to bounce back in the remaining matches.
Mumbai huffed and puffed to a defendable total, thanks to a brilliant unbeaten 65 from Nat Sciver-Brunt but their bowlers let them down in the Powerplay. Shabnim Ismail did hold up one end for a couple of overs but the likes of Nicola Carey and Nat Sciver-Brunt leaked boundaries. The debutant, Vaishnavi Sharma, then came in and did a fine job in the middle along with Amanjot Kaur and the duo managed to put on a bit of a squeeze on the scoring rate, ending up with a wicket each. With Carey unable to take further part, MI relied on NSB, who wasn't quite able to find her mark with the ball. MI are now on a three-game losing streak, not what you would associate with the reigning champions. Let's now hear from their skipper...
Needing 155 for the win, the Capitals started brilliantly in the Powerplay. Both Shafali Verma and Lizelle Lee racked up the boundaries while the field restrictions were in place and blew the chase wide open. However, once Verma fell, the scoring rate started to decline and the boundaries were hard to come. Lee kept on finding the fence every now and then but had to walk back in what was a very close stumping call. Jemimah Rodrigues and Laura Wolvaardt then built a steady stand but couldn't quite break the back of the chase and Wolvaardt too got out in unfortunate fashion. Finally, Rodrigues decided to up the ante and scored briskly at the death, notching up a match-winning half-century in the process.
An absolute humdinger of a game, another one in the WPL this season but at the end of it all, Delhi Capitals have managed to exact revenge on Mumbai Indians. DC pick up their second win of the season and are firmly back in the playoff race. A fourth defeat for Mumbai Indians in 6 matches and with just a couple of more league matches remaining for them, their playoff hopes have taken a big dent.

Oh, that doesn't look good. Sajana Sajeevan has crashed into the hoardings beyond the ropes after that valiant effort and it wasn't a soft landing at all. She seems to have injured her left shoulder and Triveni Vasistha comes on as a replacement fielder. Hopefully, Sajana is fine.

Nat Sciver-Brunt To Jemimah Rodrigues
Fuller than a length, outside off. Jemimah Rodrigues looks to drive hard but fails to connect. An appeal for stumping from Rahila Firdous is sent upstairs. The replays show that the foot was grounded when the bails go off and NOT OUT comes on the big screen. DC skipper stays on.

Nat Sciver-Brunt To Jemimah Rodrigues OUT!
OUT! RUN OUT! A massive moment in the game! Will this turn the tide in favour of MI? A good length delivery on off. Rodrigues makes room and flat-bats it down the pitch. NSB gets a hand in her follow-through and ricochets it onto the stumps at the bowler's end. Laura Wolvaardt was out of the crease and has to make the long walk back to the pavilion. An unfortunate end for Laura and DC lose their third.
STRATEGIC TIME-OUT! DC have lost momentum over the past few overs and now need 37 off 24 balls. Much will depend on skipper Jemimah Rodrigues and the batters to follow as DC look to lift the tempo and close out the game. MI, meanwhile, have mounted a strong comeback through their spinners and will aim to pile on the pressure, hoping to force a DC stumble.

Amanjot Kaur To Lizelle Lee OUT!
OUT! STUMPED! How big a call is that going to be in the context of the game? Lizelle Lee doesn't seem happy but it seems like a fair decision in the end. Amanjot Kaur slips a full ball down the leg side. Lee is drawn forward but fails to flick. Rahila Firdous does well to move low to her left and collect the ball. She also manages to whip off the bails but Lee quickly turns back and plants the bat inside the crease. It is sent upstairs and Lee does get her bat down in time but it pops up and that is when th bails light up. Lee has to walk back after a good knock of 46 (28).
Is that stumped? The keeper, Rahila Firdous, seems pretty excited and the umpires have sent it upstairs. Lizelle Lee did wander out of her crease but did she manage to get back in time? The third umpire first checks UltraEdge and the ball has comfortably missed the bat. Next, the stumping is checked and the side-on angle shows that this is a close one. The third umpire takes his time to check whether the bails were dislodged before the bat was grounded or not. The camera angle from behind shows that the bat hits the turf a fraction before the bails light up but it then goes up in the air exactly when the bails light up. Also, Lee's foot is on the popping crease but is there any part of it inside the crease? After checking all the angles and all the scenarios, the third umpire makes a decision. OUT comes up on the big screen.

Amanjot Kaur To Lizelle Lee
Kaur begins with a full ball at the toes. Lee clears the front leg and flicks it wide of mid-wicket for a single.
STRATEGIC TIME-OUT! Well, what a blistering start this has been to the run chase. The Capitals have not let a single bad delivery go unpunished and have already racked up 13 boundaries in just 6 overs. Shabnim Ismail bowled a couple of decent overs but everyone else has been off their lengths. MI need a coupleof wickets right after the break to wrestle back some momentum, whereas DC will be looking to build on this brilliant start. Also, Amanjot Kaur comes on to bowl right after the Powerplay.

Shabnim Ismail To Shafali Verma
Appeal from the bowler, and up goes the finger. Shafali Verma has a word with Lee and sends it upstairs for the review. Good length delivery, nips back into the middle stump line. Verma looks to defend but seems to have missed and gets pinned in front. The on-field decision is OUT. The replays show an inside edge off the bat, onto the pad, and the decision is reversed to NOT OUT.
