MI defeat Delhi Capitals by 50 runs

Share FacebookTwitterWhatsAppPinterestLinkedinCopy URLTelegramEmailTumblrReddItPrintKoo NAVI MUMBAI, Jan 10: Mumbai Indians’ Nat Sciver-Brunt and Harmanpreet Kaur smashed unbeaten half-centuries, while pacer Nicola Carey ran through the middle order as the defending champions returned to winning ways, defeating Delhi Capitals by 50 runs in their Women’s Premier League match here on Saturday. Sciver-Brunt hammered a 46-ball 70, while Harmanpreet — smarting from a last-ball defeat to Royal Challengers Bengaluru on Friday — slammed an unbeaten 74 off 42 balls as Mumbai Indians posted a fighting 195 for 4 on the back of fine form from the two stalwarts. Carey’s (3/37) three-wicket haul in the middle overs, including the key dismissals of hard-hitter Shafali Verma (8) and Laura Wolvaardt (9) in the fifth over, reduced Delhi Capitals to 33 for 3, a collapse that soon worsened to 46 for 5 in the seventh over.

Key Highlights

  • DC finally folded up for 145 in 19 overs despite Chinelle Henry’s rearguard 56 off 33 balls.
  • England stalwart Sciver-Brunt, following her superb effort with the bat, also chipped in with two vital wickets giving away 29 runs, while Amelia Kerr, after disappointing with the bat, returned figures of 3/24 with the ball.
  • A day after a below-par outing against Royal Challengers Bengaluru, 33-year-old all-rounder Sciver-Brunt roared back to form, smashing 13 boundaries in a fluent 46-ball 70.
  • Sciver-Brunt, who scored four runs against RCB on Friday, anchored the defending champions’ innings alongside skipper Harmanpreet, who was equally belligerent, striking eight boundaries and three sixes.
  • The pair’s 66-run partnership for the third wicket became the cornerstone of MI’s competitive total, steadying the innings after opener Amelia Kerr’s first-ball duck.
