Shabnim Ismail to Meg Lanning, Appeal straight away from Mumbai but the umpire remains unmoved! And guess what? Harmanpreet Kaur has taken the review as Shabnim Ismail is looking really confident with the appeal. Fuller delivery, pitching it just outside off and shaping it in. Meg Lanning prods and looks to drive it toward her off side but misses and pings on her pad. The UlttraEdge shows that there is no bat involvement and the Ball Tracking shows the impact is outside off. They lost their review!
We are ready for the second chapter to unfold! The umpires are out in the middle, and so are the players of Mumbai. The skipper, Meg Lanning and Shafali Verma will be the opening pairs for Delhi like every other match. Shabnim Ismail will get the job to start with the new ball with a sip and a gully. Here we go...
... THE RUN CHASE ...
With a modest total to defend, Mumbai's bowlers will face a daunting task. Delhi's impressive bowling and fielding display has set the tone for a thrilling contest, and it remains to be seen how Mumbai will respond to the challenge. Stay tuned for the chase...
Annabel Sutherland is up for a quick chat. She says that they tried to hold onto that catch as it was hanging in the air for a long time. Continues that they adjusted really well to the conditions of the track, and adjusted their lengths really well to pick up the wickets. Also says that they could have picked a few wickets through the middle but she is happy to end the inning well. Ends up saying that she is positive that they can chase this total.
Mumbai's struggles continued as they found themselves reeling at 83/4 inside 14 overs.
