- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.6 nicked and what a nonchalant piece of wicket-keeping to send DC's kryptonite on her way! Back of a length outside off, and this skips through a shade. Devine's eyes light up and she throws the kitchen sink at it. Gets a thick outside edge that flies to Lee's right but she makes it seem as if she was catching an orange thrown at her. A very sharp one-handed grab, and Devine has to go. Henry on the board early! 9/15.1 another stunning grab, and Nandani is among the wickets again! Zipped in full on middle stump. Anushka thinks she can flick this over mid on but she does not get the elevation she wants. Hits it to Henry's right and she flings herself full-stretch to make it stick. DC right on point with their catching; GG, in a spot of bother now! 38/25.2 gone first ball, and this is a GG free-fall now! Back of a length outside off and this seems to rush off the surface. Gardner goes fishing at it and all she manages is a thick outside edge that is gobbled up by Rana at slip. Nandani on a hat-trick yet again against the Giants, and DC are tightening the screws now! 38/38.4 stumped by a country mile, and the Capitals are all over the Giants like a rash! Lobbed up deliciously on a length just outside off. Ahuja hares down the track and then tries to smash it into next week. Loses her shape and is stranded as Lee collects the ball and then whips off the bails. GG four down inside nine overs! 59/416.2 straight to deep cover, and Wareham bites the dust! Right in the slot on middle and off, and Wareham thinks she can pop this over the fence too. Backs away but ends up slicing it too much, which brings Wolvaardt into play. The South African does not have to move a muscle, and this is a huge moment in the contest! 120/516.4 spliced tamely, and Henry has her third! Dug into the track on off stump, and this seems to get big on Fulmali. She swings at it with all her might but the ball lobs up off the higher part of the blade. Henry runs to her right in her follow-through and does the rest. GG six down now! 125/619.5 Has Gautam been run out?! Back of a length just outside off. Mooney winds up and tugs it towards long on. The decision to go for the second is a little belated and that means Gautam is in trouble heading back for the second. Nandani fumbles a couple of times before ultimately gathering the ball and taking the bails off, and Gautam is still well short, which shows how late that call was! 164/7Extras25 (lb 6, w 19)TOTAL168/7 (20 Overs, RR: 8.4)Fall of wickets: 1-9 (Sophie Devine, 1.6 ov), 2-38 (Anushka Sharma, 5.1 ov), 3-38 (Ashleigh Gardner, 5.2 ov), 4-59 (Kanika Ahuja, 8.4 ov), 5-120 (Georgia Wareham, 16.2 ov), 6-125 (Bharti Fulmali, 16.4 ov), 7-164 (Kashvee Gautam, 19.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR7.1 plumb with a capital P, and Lee is outta here! Or is she? Lee goes upstairs! Fizzed through on a length on leg stump. Grips in the surface and then spins away. Lee, caught on the crease, also gets squared up. Gets pinged on the back leg and this could be curtains for her. Lee, in fact, starts trudging off the moment she sees the first replay. No bat involved, of course. Ball Tracking comes up and...it returns three reds, with the ball crashing into middle and leg. GG finally have some respite but is it already too late? 89/17.6 chopped on, and Wareham is turning this game on its head! Length ball outside off and this skids through a touch. Shafali wants to cut this away but the ball is neither short enough nor wide enough for the stroke. All she manages is an inside edge onto the stumps, and DC are leaving the door ajar for the Giants! 92/214.5 Rodrigues' party is over, and Gayakwad has a consolatory wicket! Slanted in full on leg stump. Rodrigues backs away, trying to go inside out. Cuts across it too much, and Devine, stood at mid off, runs to her left to complete the catch. Rodrigues is pumped even as she walks off, but she will be disappointed to have not been there till the end! 160/3Extras18 (b 8, lb 1, nb 1, w 8)TOTAL169/3 (15.4 Overs, RR: 10.78)Fall of wickets: 1-89 (Lizelle Lee, 7.1 ov), 2-92 (Shafali Verma, 7.6 ov), 3-160 (Jemimah Rodrigues, 14.5 ov)
