Put in to bat on a slow surface, Mumbai Indians' struggles in the powerplay continued before Nat Sciver-Brunt played another blinder (66 not out off 45) to take her team to 154-5. WPL Auction 2026: Full Breakdown of Every Major Number After a rather productive start provided by Lizelle Lee (46 off 28) and Shafali Verma (29 off 24), Delhi Capitals lost their way in the middle over before Jemimah (51 not out off 37) calmed nerves in the dressing room by completing the chase in 19 overs. Veteran Marizanne Kapp (10 not out off 6) provided the support that Jemimah needed at the other end and closed out the match with a six. It was fourth-placed Delhi Capitals' second win in five games while Mumbai Indians (second on the table) suffered their fourth loss in six games."We really need to push when we are batting and bowling in the powerplay," said Mumbai Indians captain Harmanpreet Kaur after the loss. In the powerplay, Shafali missed connecting a flatter one down the leg side from left-arm spinner Vaishnavi Sharma to see her stumps rattled. South African Lee, who is in red hot form thus far, was disappointed after being adjudged stumped off Amanjot Kaur in the 11th over. The umpire took time in taking the call after Lee slightly lost her balance off another one down the leg side. Despite Hayley Mathews' return from injury, Mumbai Indians have not been able to get going in the powerplay.
