Delhi Capitals (DC) did 12: 1 for the persecution of teams in WPL 2025 when they defeated Mumbai Indians (Mi) with nine gates in Bengaluru. The victory, which came with 5.3 over -Free variety, also helped replace mi on the top of the point table. You now have eight points from six games and Mi Six from five.

After Mi looked positive at the start, he looked positive after the start, but when her openings fell, Jess Jonassen and Minnu Mani ran through the medium order and each recorded three gates. Each of the five best battery from Mi reached double -digit numbers, but none of them crossed 22. Acehot Kaur scored 17 out of ten balls towards the end to push the page to 123 for 9.

Shafali Verma and Meg Lanning pursued a total of a total of 9.5 over 85 for the first Wicket. Shafali fell 43 of 28, but Lanning continued. She brought her second half century of the season, of 40 balls, and remained unbeaten with 60 out of 49 balls.

DC Apply the brakes to miser start

Mi had a quick start. Both Yastika Bhatia and Hayley Matthews opened their accounts with First Ball Fours ahead of Marizanne Kapp. When Jonassen came to the Bowl, Matthews greeted her with two four of her first two balls.

But DC then applied the brakes on the assessment rate. In the sixth place that the wicket turned around the Wicket, Shikha Pandey Bhatia left behind for 11 a.m. Bhatia's picture for WPL 2025 is now in five inner races with a strike rate of 84.44.

Soon afterwards, Matthew's Annabel Sutherland was missing to the middle of Shafali Verma. DC would also have anchored Titas Sadhu for 1. At the end of nine overs were 49 for 2.

Jonassen, Mani Land determined blows

In DC's previous game, Jonassen was appointed player for her time. Tonight she showed why Bowling remains her stronger suit. Harmanpreet, who had put her eye, was looking up. In the tenth time she muscled Sadhu for a 79 m six over a spacious long-on. Three balls later she showed her touch game. She moved towards the side and knocked for four lengths to the left of a short fine leg.

But Jonassen cut their innings shortly before 22 and her LBW incorporated with a bracelet. Mi still had Nat Sciver-Brunt, the leading Run-getter this season, in the middle. Before this game, she had three in our innings for three fifties. For her, the pace slowed down and hit it in flight. Sciver-Brunt was in the shot early and let him go back to the bowler. With another figure delivery, Jonassen G Kamalini dealt with figures of 3 for 25.

In between, Mani s Sajana and Amelia Kerr rejected in three balls. Kerrs Wicket was as much Sutherland as Mani. Mani had made Kerr to reach a suit. Sutherland, who was boring, ran diagonally to her right and dived in full length to complete the centimeters from the floor. Sanskriti Gupa also fell on Mani, whereby her slog Jemimah Rodrigues found in Deep Midwicket.

Lanning, Shafali race away

Mi knew that they needed early gates and therefore set attack fields. Lanning, who was not in the best this season, took advantage of it and took two four of Shabnim Ismail four in the first chase.

The plan from Mi, shortly after Shafali, was also missing. Sciver-Brunt collected five wides, and when she understood it correctly, Shafali sent her to the border. In the fourth time she met Sciver-Brunt for two four and six of four balls.

At the other end, Lanning hit Back-to-Back four from Ismail before stood on the same punishment in Matthews. At the end of the power play, DC had driven to 57 without loss and reduced the required set to 4.78.

Even after the field restrictions were relaxed, DC did not slower. In the ninth time, Shafali Kerr hit two sixes on the floor. Amanjot finally broke the booth when she caught Shafali in the Deep Midwicket.

Until then, however, the competition was over. Lanning and Rodrigues only took 28 balls to throw off the remaining 39 runs.
