DCW vs UPWW, WPL Highlights
That is it from this game then, another one-sided contest. Let us hope the next game is a lot more competitive. It is a match between the Gujarat and Bangalore. That game begins at 1930 IST (1400 GMT). Till then, goodbye and take care.
Jess Jonassen, PLAYER OF THE GAME, says it was about her batting today not that much about bowling. Adds she did go for a few runs with the ball in the end. Says she is happy to get over the line. Also says it is always a great contest against Alyssa Healy.
Meg Lanning says it is a good start to the tournament. Adds that their batting has been great. Tells she has enjoyed batting in India. She hopes she continues to do well. Praises the knocks of Jess Jonassen and Jemimah Rodrigues and feels that picking early wickets certainly helped them. Shares that the local Indian players have been quite friendly and she has started to know them a little bit.
Alyssa Healy says things did not go as per plan, they gave a lot of runs towards the end and lost far too many wickets early. Adds that Shabnim Ismail was really good and she did what we expected from her but they will look at what they can improve. Feels like 180 could have been chasable. States they were trying to get a partnership, they needed someone to hang in there with Tahlia McGrath but that did not happen. Also says they are doing most of the things well, it is about the mindset, had they hung onto two catches, things might have been different.
... PRESENTATION TIME ...
For Delhi, Jess Jonassen was absolutely brilliant with the ball. Shikha Pandey also had a very good outing and Alice Capsey impressed yet again. However, the others took a real pounding at the hands of Tahlia McGrath but because of the innings earlier on by Meg Lanning, it is a big win for Delhi.
A comfortable win then for Delhi! To be honest, it is their batters who set it up, 211 was just never going to be easy and that was the case. The start was decent by Healy but they then lost wickets quickly. Tahlia McGrath and Deepti Sharma did try to re-build but the run rate kept creeping up. Deepti Sharma then fell and it was all onto Tahlia McGrath. She did play a brilliant knock but it was just too much of an ask for her.
