- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR5.3 Leading edge taken! Backward point runs back and takes it. Fullish length ball at 110ks on leg stump skidded through, Harris wanted to flick it square. Closed the bat face and played it too early. Ball went right up, Wolvaardt dove forward and took it well. 36/19.2 Not a great ball but it does the trick! Bowling to the field. Was an offbreak on a fullish length at leg stump, Mandhana goes for the slog sweep and gets it to deep square leg. Mandhana grimaces, smiles and walks back as Mani raises her finger. 62/211.4 Voll goes across the line and misses, Kapp hits middle and off. 111ks wobble ball, Voll got on one knee, likely out of the crease, and tried to pull it through square leg. Ball went under bat. Jemimah ecstatic. Square leg was up for that ball 69/410.5 Off stump rocked. Naik charged down, not sure if Charani saw her. Fired the 80ks ball full and past the bat. Naik nearly yorked herself and broomed the bat across, made no contact. May have grazed the ground. Two quick wickets for DC 67/313.5 Big wicket, Ghosh falls! Great catch from Wolvaardt. Goes left and takes a good low catch. Was a 79ks length ball outside off that Ghosh tried to drive over cover, bat face opened as she hit it. RCB in trouble at 78 for 5 78/516.3 Fabulous catch! Lee had little to no time to take it. Radha flashed the bat right in front of her, the mitts were up in front of the face as the ball approached bat. Then Radha looked to carve the shortish ball through point and the keeper took the thickish edge 94/618.1 Nothing special from de Klerk tonight with bat. Was a cuttler on a fullish length outside off, de Klerk reaches out and slices across. Jemimah, at mid-off, takes an easy catch 99/817.3 Big lbw appeal... and given! Reddy reviews. Back of the hand full ball on leg stump. Reddy looking to sweep it misses and hits the ground. Ball hits the front ankle. Impact in line and wickets - umpire's call. Decision stands 97/719.6 Slog sweep beaten. Off stump hit. Nandani salutes. Was a length ball from a back of a length, Satghare was too early into the shot 109/1019.4 Lack of pace and it's taken at short third. Short ball outside off around head-height, Patil looking to lift it over point, ended up tapping it right up to short third 108/9Extras7 (lb 2, nb 1, w 4)TOTAL109 all out (20 Overs, RR: 5.45)Fall of wickets: 1-36 (Grace Harris, 5.3 ov), 2-62 (Smriti Mandhana, 9.2 ov), 3-67 (Gautami Naik, 10.5 ov), 4-69 (Georgia Voll, 11.4 ov), 5-78 (Richa Ghosh, 13.5 ov), 6-94 (Radha Yadav, 16.3 ov), 7-97 (Arundhati Reddy, 17.3 ov), 8-99 (Nadine de Klerk, 18.1 ov), 9-108 (Shreyanka Patil, 19.4 ov), 10-109 (Sayali Satghare, 19.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.4 Stumping given out onfield. Shafali grimaces as she walks off. Fullish ball well outside off has Shafali reach out for the cover drive, misses and her foot drags out. Stays out too. Ghosh dislodges the bails right away. 17/13.3 Flat, hard and the catch is taken! DC's dangerous openers are gone. Length ball at leg stump, Lee got on one knee, swivelled and pulled it hard. Voll, at deep-backward square, got forward and fell through to take it with both hands. 24/211.4 RCB finally hold onto one. Mandhana takes it low to her right. Full ball around off, Jemimah opened up her stance and looked to lash it over cover. Got it to the infielder. 76/3Extras4 (b 1, nb 1, w 2)TOTAL111/3 (15.4 Overs, RR: 7.08)Fall of wickets: 1-17 (Shafali Verma, 1.4 ov), 2-24 (Lizelle Lee, 3.3 ov), 3-76 (Jemimah Rodrigues, 11.4 ov)
