Delhi Capitals on Monday night had pretty much as good a sport a aspect may have hoped for.
After decreasing Mumbai Indians to 109 for eight, thanks to an excellent effort from its bowlers and fielders, Capitals cantered to a nine-wicket win with 11 overs to spare in a Women’s Premier League contest on the D.Y. Patil Stadium between two sides which have already certified for the playoffs. The complete win not solely helped Capitals compensate for factors — 10 — with Mumbai Indians, but in addition go above it on Net Run Rate.
Mumbai Indians’ slide started with Marizanne Kapp hanging twice off successive balls. She received the ball to transfer away from the left-handed Yastika Bhatia and compelled a thick exterior edge which was pouched by an acrobatic Taniya Bhatia behind the stumps.
Her subsequent supply swung into the right-handed Nat Sciver-Brunt and took the middle-stump. Jemimah Rodrigues then made a full-length dive at mid-on to ship again Hayley Matthews.
Mumbai Indians received previous 100 solely due to Pooja Vastrakar (26, 19b, 3×4, 1×6), Issy Wong (23, 24b, 1×6) and Amanjot Kaur (19, 16b, 2×4). Capitals’ openers Meg Lanning (32 n.o., 22b, 4×4, 1×6) and Shafali Verma (33, 15b, 6×4, 1×6) raced to 50 in 4 overs earlier than Alice Capsey (38 n.o., 17b, 1×4, 5×6) completed the job with a flourish.
