Chasing 155, Delhi began strongly through Lizelle Lee and Shafali Verma before slipping in the center overs. Jemimah steadied the innings and finished the job with support from Marizanne Kapp. Earlier, the Mumbai Indians again struggled within the powerplay but Nat Sciver-Brunt’s fluent 66 not out and Harmanpreet Kaur’s 41 lifted them to 154 for five. The win was Delhi’s second of the season, while Mumbai suffered their fourth defeat.
The victory aided DC move as much as the 4th spot, displacing Gujarat Giants. But most significantly, Jemimah & Co. are still alive within the race to the playoffs. RCB stand atop with 10 points and the ‘Q’ mark, while MI, despite the defeat, managed to retain their second position.
