MI vs DC

Mumbai Indians Women (MIW) bounced back to secure their first win of the season, defeating Delhi Capitals Women (DCW) by 50 runs in a thrilling encounter at Dr. DY Patil Sports Academy. MIW set a challenging target of 196 runs, thanks to a brilliant captain’s knock by Harmanpreet Kaur, who remained unbeaten on 74*.

MIW’s innings were powered by Harmanpreet, supported by strong contributions from Nat Sciver-Brunt and others, who ensured the team posted a healthy total. Kaur’s knock was filled with composure and aggressive strokes, with several boundaries in the latter stages of the innings. The MIW middle-order built on a solid foundation to reach a total of 195/5 in their 20 overs. The Delhi bowlers struggled to get early breakthroughs, with only a few wickets coming in the back end.

In response, DCW got off to a steady start with Shafali Verma and Lizelle Lee. However, MIW’s bowlers, especially Nicola Carey, were quick to break through the top order. Carey bagged a crucial 3-wicket haul, dismissing key players like Shafali Verma, Laura Wolvaardt, and Marizanne Kapp. DCW struggled to recover from the early blows, as they lost wickets at regular intervals.

By the 13th over, DCW was reduced to 91/6, with key players like Jemimah Rodrigues (caught behind off Shabnim Ismail) and Niki Prasad departing. Despite a fighting 50-run knock from Chinelle Henry, who showed excellent resilience, the chase remained out of reach. DCW’s total at the end was 146/8, giving MIW a 50-run victory.

MIW's win was built on Kaur's excellent leadership and batting, combined with tight bowling. Carey’s match-changing performance and Ismail’s brilliance in the field were crucial as MIW successfully defended a sizeable total.

With this win, MIW gain crucial momentum, while DCW will need to regroup for their next match.
