    16.1 The slower back of the hand delivery works the magic and Bell has her third. Shafali falls after what has been a stunning innings. Fullish outside off, she backs away looking to muscle this over the covers, but the lack of pace does her in. She gets a thick outside edge that spoons to the left of backward point where Rawat takes a good catch 130/8
    0.3 Castled! Bell on the board and RCB roar. Full and swinging into leg, 109.6kph. Lee is hanging back and looks to flick it away. But this is a near-perfect yorker that bowls her around her leg. Bell once again does what she has been doing this season 5/1
    0.5 Through her! Bell is on fire and a few gasping faces in the crowd tell a story. Bell has the new ball on a string. Lands it on a length around off, 109kph. Instead of swinging away, it nips back in. Wolvaardt leans forward to drive it through the line but gets beaten on the inside. The ball goes through bat and pad to rattle the stumps. What a start for RCB! 5/2
    1.2 Satghare has the last laugh and Rodrigues is out of here! She bowls another length ball outside off, 98.3kph. Gives her the width but it nips back in. Rodrigues goes back to dab it fine but ends up chopping it on. DC in disarray 10/3
    1.3 Bowled her! This is an exhibition in seam bowling. There is little Kapp could have done. Another length ball that lands just outside off. Kapp looks to play for the one that comes in, but this one holds its line and goes on to hit top of off. Satghare is on a roll and a hat-trick 10/4
    7.2 Huge appeal and that looks close. Given! Prasad had charged down, so the ball had some way to travel. She checks with Shafali and they review. It lands on a length on leg, Prasad was beaten on the inside, and all three stumps are visible at the point of impact. Nothing on Ultra-Edge and ball-tracking returnsumpire'c call on hitting the stumps. So the 59-run partnership for DC ends but they retain the review 69/5
    8.1 Catching practice for mid-off. Soft, soft dismissal and Mani will be kicking herself. Floaty full ball outside off, she looks to loft it over the off side. Doesn't go full throttle and the bat turns in her hand, offering Mandhana and easy catch running to her right 74/6

    13.3 The wrong'un brings about Rana's undoing and DC are now seven down. Top stuff from the youngster. Gives the ball enough air getting it to land just outside off and turning back into Rana. She does not pick up the googly as she stays back, misses and sees her off stump pegged back 108/7
    19.4 Good, tidy catch from Radha but this has been a sensational innings from Hamilton. Shin-high full toss on the pads of Hamilton. She flicks, gets a good chunk on it but straight to Radha at deep midwicket who runs in and takes a low catch 164/9

    19.6 A run out to end the innings as DC are bowled out for 166 in 20 overs. Fuller on the stumps, she heaves this to deep midwicket. Nandani is looking for the second run but is sent back. Radha's throw is flat and on top of the stumps. Richa whips off the bails in a jiffy. Nandani is just short 166/10

    2.1 In the air... Shafali makes no mistake. Kapp gets Harris for the sixth time in 25 T20 innings! Full in length outside off, a bit of swing away from the batter. Harris looks to go hard at it and toe-ends the loft in the air towards extra cover. Shafali takes a few steps to her left, eyes on the ball, and pouches it safely. Kapp roars and so do DC 14/1
    17.2 Oh, dear! No century for Mandhana, she falls short by four runs. A brilliant catch by the debutant Hamilton and there is a hush around DY Patil as Mandhana trudges back on 96. Fuller well outside off stump, she had the width and carves it. But she gets it right off the cue-end of the bat to the right of Hamilton at point, who dives and grabs it. Another so near, yet so far moment in the WPL 156/2
