And they were not disappointed at all!!!! Ellyse Perry, one of the biggest cricket icon in women's cricket, showed why she has been revered by many.
When it mattered the most, a must-win game for a place in playoffs, Perry stood tall and registered the best bowling figures in the history of Women's Premier League.
She returned with the bowling figures of 6-15 in 4 Overs, which led to the game-changing Mumbai Indians' batting collapse.
Though S Sajana was Perry's first scalp of the match, her catch which send Hayley Mathews packing send the cricket-frenzy crowd frantic. Perry dived forward to complete the catch at backward square leg.
And when she was took the ball, she cleaned S Sajana (30 off 21 balls) followed by Mumbai Indians skipper Harmanpreet Kaur, who went back to pavilion without troubling the scorer - A Golden Duck.
