Key Highlights

DC broke the bank for the India star, acquiring her for ₹2.2 crore, and beating the likes of MI in the bidding war.
She is DC's third-highest run-scorer and her strike rate of 207.4 at the death overs (overs 17-20) showcases her importance to the side. Against MI, DC will face a bruised side that fell to defeat against RCB in the opener due to a comedy of fielding errors.
Defending a target of 155 runs, MI were almost close to victory, but a late blitz from Nadine de Klerk saw them crash to a defeat instead.
What made it worse for Harmanpreet Kaur was that the game was almost won, but two dropped catches by De Klerk, as well as a missed run-out chance, proved to be the deciding factors.
The DY Patil Stadium will be a cherished memory for both Jemimah and Harmanpreet, especially since India won the World Cup trophy here.
