13 runs came off Shikha Pandey's second over as the last three of her deliveries went for fours. Mumbai Indians are 77 runs away from winning this game. No signs of a Delhi Capitals comeback so far!
Inside edge on it and the ball goes for a four. Shikha Pandey had almost undone Hayley Matthews with a fuller delivery but the ball missed the stumps and rather ran to the boundary line for a four.
Yastika Bhatia hit two consecutive fours on the bowling of Marizanne Kapp. A total of 9 runs came off the over. Mumbai Indians need 97 more to win the game.
Delhi Capitals are all out for 105 runs. Saika Ishaque, Issy Wong and Hayley Matthews claimed three wickets apiece for Mumbai Indians. So, the Harmanpreet Kaur-led team will be needing 106 runs in the second innings to make a hat-trick of win in WPL.
Another one bites the dust! Delhi Capitals might not be able to even play the entire 20 overs. They are nine down with 18 balls left in play. Meanwhile, Issy Wong gets her third wicket in the game.
Wow! That's a beautiful shot from Radha Yadav for a six over the extra cover region. Amelia Kerr gave the leg spin delivery air, and Radha jumped out of her crease to hit the ball for a biggie.
Delhi Capitals batters are falling like a pack of cards here in Mumbai. Mumbai Indians are dominating this game in a great manner. Hayley Matthews got Minnu Mani stumped out for her second wicket in the game.
Hat-trick of fours for Meg Lanning! She used her feet to perfection for the first boundary from extra cover, before playing a beautiful pull shot on the leg side. The third boundary went through the extra cover again. Amelia Kerr was the bowler, who was at the receiving end.
Another Delhi Capitals batter bites the dust! Issy Wong gets her first wicket in the game. It was bowled around the good length area and had enough swing to beat Marizanne Kapp. The ball swung into the batter and took the inside edge before crashing onto the stumps.
A poor delivery from Issy Wong! She bowled it fuller on the pads of Meg Lanning. The Australian opener failed to get any wood on it, but the ball hit her front pad and went to the fine leg fence for a four.
While Mumbai Indians won their first game by a huge margin of 143 runs against Gujarat Giants, they handed a 9-wicket loss to Royal Challengers Bangalore in their second game. Delhi Capitals thrashed RCB by 60 runs in their first game, before beating UP Warriorz by 42 runs in the second game.
Both Mumbai Indians and Delhi Capitals have four-point each to their credit, but MI top the table on the basis of a better net run rate. The team that wins today will take the table top position.
