Presentation Time...
Jess Jonassen is up for a chat and says that she is really happy to be back on the field and to be a part of the proceedings. She continues that she was looking to build a big partnership with Kapp. She reckons that they were pretty happy with the total but they knew they had to bowl well. Ends up saying they have a variety of players who can come and perform any day.
Smriti Mandhana, the skipper of Bangalore says that the bowlers didn't meet the expectations they made in the first two matches of the season. Continues that it's just one bad day in the tournament and they will surely make a comeback out of it. She reckons that Women's cricket is progressing. She ends up saying that she and her team need to move on as they didn't bowl and field the way they wanted.
Earlier in the game, Delhi displayed a dominant performance by posting a formidable total of 194 runs, the highest in this year's competition. It was through a strong opening partnership between Shafali Verma and Alice Capsey, with Verma scoring a rapid fifty before being dismissed in the 12th over. Capsey also made a significant contribution with the bat, falling short of her half-century. The middle and lower order batsmen, Marizanne Kapp and Jess Jonassen, played crucial roles in accelerating the scoring rate towards the end of the innings. For Bangalore Nadine de Klerk and Sophie Devine picked up two wickets whilst Shreyanka Patil chipped in with one.
Bangalore began the chase on a brisk note! They always had a steep mountain to climb, chasing a target of 195 runs. They got off to a strong start with their skipper Smriti Mandhana and Sophie Devine putting up a formidable 52-run partnership by the end of the powerplay. Mandhana played a stellar innings, reaching her maiden Women's T20 League fifty. Devine fell on 23 runs but Mandhana continued her aggressive batting and scored 74 runs off 43 deliveries before being dismissed in the 13th over. After she fell, the Bangalore Women struggled to maintain momentum and lost wickets at regular intervals. Despite a gritty innings from Meghana, who scored 36 off 31 balls, the team could only manage to reach a total of 169/9 in their allotted overs, falling short of the target by 25 runs.
The Delhi side carry forward the winning momentum to beat the Bangalore side by 25 runs! It was a high-scoring affair here in Bengaluru and the Delhi Women's side hold their nerves to emerge victorious to hand the Bangalore Women, their first loss in the Women's T20 league, 2024. The Delhi side as they have certainly silenced the Bengaluru crowd here! Their bowlers failed to get the best possible start. Once they got both the Bangalore openers, they carried on with the momentum. Jess Jonassen picked up three wickets and all of those came in her last over. Arundhati Reddy and Marizanne Kapp picked up two whilst Shikha Pandey has one in her kitty.

Strategic Break! Well, probably not a bad thing for Bangalore. They were in good shape around the halfway mark of this run chase but Mandhana's wicket has led to a flee of wickets. They need to instill some calm in their batting unit and believe that they can still do it. Meghana is one such batter who can stay calm while Wareham can play the big shots. Delhi, on the other hand, will go for the kill now. And who better than Meg Lanning to understand the right moment to pounce upon a prey? Let's hope that we get a good finish.
