Delhi Capitals’ Response
Facing a target of 167, DC’s innings were built upon the solid base of captain Meg Lanning. Her innings oozed class as she scored 69 in 49 balls with ten fours.

Annabel Sutherland (41* off 35) and Marizanne Kapp (29* off 17) stabilized the ship despite a mini collapse with the quick dismissal of Verma and Jemimah Rodrigues. The unbroken 48-run partnership of the duo steered DC to victory with one ball to spare, finishing at 167/3 in 19.5 overs.
Fielding lapses: UPW dropped too many catches last over to have any chance in this match.
